Before the season, Peja Goold wrote to her parents in a post that she was going “make our dreams come true.” When asked what dream she meant, Goold said it was making it to the WCWS. Now, in her final season at Mississippi State, she’s on college softball’s biggest stage with the Bulldogs. Next up, she’ll begin her pro career with the Oklahoma City Spark after being selected No. 10 overall in the 2026 AUSL College Draft. But for now, her focus is still on Mississippi State. “I’ve been working on being where my feet are.” Mississippi State plays Texas tonight in an elimination game at 6 p.m. CT / 7 p.m. ET at the WCWS in Oklahoma City. #welivesoftball #ausl #mississippistate #wcws
