The 11th annual playing of the Heritage Cup featured a determined MSU team. After a tough result in 2017, the Bulldog's were ready to bring the trophy back to Starkville. Similar to 2017, MSU featured 6 new team members. MSU was represented by two freshmen, five sophomores, two juniors and one senior. Unlike 2017, the conditions were extremely difficult for both squads. The weekend weather featured strong wind, flash flood warnings, and cold temperatures. Saturday morning's fourball session included a 5 hour rain delay. When play resumed Saturday afternoon, MSU came out firing and won the first session 5-1. Due to the weather delay and course conditions, the foursome matches were canceled, leaving the Bulldogs just 3.5 points shy of winning the Heritage Cup. Much like Sam Houston State University the year before, MSU never looked back and brought the Heritage Cup trophy back to Starkville following a strong singles performance.
