Missouri, Ole Miss Set for 2025 SEC Softball Tournament Opener

Ole Miss softball experienced a challenging week, first dropping a series to top-ranked Tennessee despite an upset win in the opener, and then starting their final regular season series against No. 17 Mississippi State with a close 3-1 loss after a late two-run homer by MSU’s Blaine. The Rebels struggled with missed scoring opportunities and offensive woes in both series, even as individual players like Lair Beautae and Miali Guachino made notable contributions. Meanwhile, Missouri, having recently bested Ole Miss in a regular season meeting, is set to face the Rebels again as the No. 14 seed in the opening round of the 2025 SEC Tournament. The winner of the Missouri-Ole Miss matchup will advance to play No. 6 Florida. These results set the stage for a critical postseason matchup as Ole Miss looks to rebound from recent setbacks.
