🔼 From The AD’s Desk. “Dear Spartans, 

This weekend, Spartans from all eras will return to East Lansing for Homecoming and rekindle their connection to all things MSU. It’s a chance to continue longstanding traditions or an opportunity to create new ones. Being a Spartan means being a part of something larger than ourselves. It’s about being a part of community – a community that takes pride in representing and supporting the Green and White.”

🔼 Happy Homecoming! Michigan State football plays its Homecoming game against Iowa under the lights tomorrow night, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. on NBC! Get ready for game day with us:

🔼 Beat The Badgers. No. 21 Michigan State women’s soccer was victorious again on Thursday night, beating Wisconsin 2-0 at DeMartin Stadium.

Sofia Beerworth opened the scoring in the 10th minute, and Bella Najera scored in the 67th minute off an assist from Beerworth.

The Spartans are back on the pitch this Sunday, hosting Northwestern at 1 p.m.

🔼 Knotted With Windsor. No. 4 Michigan State hockey takes a break from its regular season schedule this weekend, instead hosting Windsor (Ontario) for an exhibition tonight at 6 p.m. at Munn Ice Arena.

🔼 Heavyweight Bout. Two of the top four teams in Big Ten men’s soccer meet tonight with just two points separating them, as Michigan State travels to play at Indiana at 7 p.m.

The Spartans currently sit in fourth place in the Big Ten standings with 12 points, while the Hoosiers are in second place with 14 points.

🔼 Serves Up. Michigan State volleyball is at home again this weekend for another pair of Big Ten matchups against No. 2 Nebraska and Washington.

The Huskers, in town today for a 6 p.m. match at the Breslin Center, are 16-1 on the season and a perfect 6-0 in Big Ten play. The Huskies are are 13-3 on the season and 3-3 in their inaugural Big Ten season.

🔼 On The Run. Michigan State cross country will be split between a pair of races this weekend — the Falcon Invitational hosted by Bowling Green today and the Wisconsin Pre-Nationals in Madison tomorrow morning.

🔼 Road Trip. Michigan State field hockey ventures out onto the road this weekend, heading east for a pair of Big Ten matchups.

The Spartans are in New Jersey today for a 1 p.m. matchup at Rutgers (1-4 B1G) before traveling to University Park, Pa. to play No. 16 Penn State (1-3 B1G) on Sunday at noon.
