GULFPORT — Thanks in large part to the weather, No. 12 Mississippi Gulf Coast hasn't played frequently, due in large part to the weather. And the Bulldogs men's team hasn't played at home very much because of the schedule.
Friday, they were able to get back on the field, but the weather forced them to move a home game to the Gulfport Sportsplex because of wet conditions in Perkinston.
That didn't slow down the Gulf Coast offense, though, which poured in on in a 5-2 win over Hinds.

FULTON, Miss. —The No. 4 Pearl River men's soccer team continued its successful start to the season, defeating Itawamba 2-0 and collecting its sixth clean sheet of the season.
The Wildcat victory snapped Itawamba's five-match win streak.
"I thought we played pretty well," coach Drew Gallant said. "It's never easy having to come so far to get a game in. I'm glad that we were able to get it in. We had to change our schedule and our normal routine for an away game, but the boys adapted well. I think they handled things well. I don't think we had a great game, but players were able to come on and contribute good minutes and make good things happen.

FULTON, Miss. — The Pearl River women's soccer team earned a hard-fought victory Friday, defeating Itawamba, 3-2 on a late goal from Sydney Spataro (Long Beach).
"I was impressed," coach Henrik Madsen said. "I feel like we were in control of the game and then we made a mistake at the back and they came in and scored. That was frustrating but I thought the girls played well. They really battled hard."
The early stages of the match were dominated by the defenses of Pearl River (4-4-1 overall) and Itawamba (3-5) as neither team could develop a successful attack.
