Mississippi State had two notable chances early. Kyli Switalski's free kick from just outside the box in the 11th minute was tipped up off the crossbar, and Hailey Johnson's one-on-one opportunity in the 21st minute was saved by Kentucky's goalkeeper.

Mississippi State has earned points in every conference match this season. The Bulldogs will begin a three-match homestand by hosting No. 17/21 South Carolina at 6 p.m. CT on Friday, Oct. 2. The match will air on ESPNU.
