Mississippi State finished second in the Southeastern Conference and received a double-bye in the SEC Tournament, according to an April 13 announcement. The team secured its position after a senior day victory over Alabama, ending the regular season with an 11-3 record.

The Bulldogs’ 11 conference wins tie for the second-most in school history, just behind the 1993 season’s total of 12 victories. Mississippi State will enter the tournament as the number two seed, following Texas (12-2), with LSU and Oklahoma rounding out the top four seeds.

Mississippi State is set to begin play on Friday, April 17 at 2 p.m. at Mitchell Tennis Center in Bryan-College Station, Texas. Their quarterfinal opponent has yet to be determined but could include South Carolina (7), Ole Miss (10), or Tennessee (15).

Tournament organizers have provided information regarding spectator parking and amenities. Parking is available adjacent to or across from Mitchell Tennis Center. A clear bag policy will be enforced at all Texas A&M athletics venues.

Tickets are available digitally through the 12th Man Foundation Ticket Office or by phone. All spectators must present tickets on their phones for entry; children under two may sit without a ticket in general admission areas. Southeastern Conference students who show their student ID will receive free general admission.
