🔺 Top-10 Win! No. 19 Michigan State men’s soccer earned a huge Big Ten win over the weekend against No. 7 Maryland, beating the Terps, 2-1, on the road to improve to 8-2-1 overall and 4-1-0 in conference action, its best start to league play since 2018!
🔺 Fought The Illini. Michigan State football outscored Illinois 24-11 in the second half, but its comeback fell short in a 38-37 overtime loss on Saturday night at Spartan Stadium.
Jaziun Patterson led the attack offensively for the Spartans, rushing for 92 yards and three touchdowns while adding 26 yards and a score through the air as well.
🔺 Boiler Ball. No. 2 Michigan State women’s soccer lost for just the second time on Sunday, falling on the road at No. 25 Purdue, 2-1, with the difference coming from a penalty kick less than two minutes into the second half from the Boilermakers.
Kayla Briggs scored her sixth goal of the season for the Spartans in the loss.
🔺 Split A Pair. Michigan State volleyball hosted both No. 13 Oregon and Iowa at the Breslin Center over the weekend, dropping a four-set match to the Ducks on Friday before bouncing back with a four-set victory over the Hawkeyes on Sunday.
The Spartans are now 14-2 on the season and 4-2 in Big Ten play.
