Gulf Coast women open MACCC play Friday

PERKINSTON — The Mississippi Gulf Coast women's soccer team opens its 2022 MACCC schedule Friday when Hinds comes to town.

Kickoff at Bary Thrash Field in Perkinston will be at 5 p.m. Tickets are available at http://mgcccbulldogs.com/tickets, and the game will be streamed at https://mgcccbulldogs.com/watch.

The conference eliminated divisions this year, so each team will play the other 10 teams once. The MACCC champion will be determined by the regular season, who will also get a first-round bye in the Gulf South District tournament.
