TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The Alabama volleyball team (9-11, 1-10 SEC) dropped a full five set match, 3-2, to Mississippi State (17-5, 7-4 SEC) on Sunday evening at Foster Auditorium. The Crimson Tide won the first two sets but was unable to finish with the win.

Alabama came out firing, winning the first set by a score of 25-14 behind Mya Allen's four kills. Set two was much closer, but the Crimson Tide came out on top once again, this time, 25-22. In the third and fourth sets, the Bulldogs started to get things going, taking each set, 25-14. Alabama ran out of steam in the fifth set as Mississippi State won, 15-8.

Laney Hennessee recorded a double-double (kills-digs) in the match with a team-high 13 kills along with 12 digs. With the performance, she tallied her fourth double-double of the season. Maddie Snider finished with a season-high nine kills, the second most on the team.

From Head Coach Rashinda Reed

"I thought we executed offense really well in the first two sets. I thought the blocking was also great. We did a really nice job at slowing their offense down and I just felt like we played really scrappy as well. I am really happy about the execution in the first and second set, for sure."
