🎙 WEEKLY PRESS CONFERENCE: Harlon Barnett — Rutgers

🔼 Never Quit. It was a battle all the way to the end, but Michigan State men’s hockey fell just short to Air Force on Thursday night, 6-5.

The Spartans fell behind 3-0 after the first period and were down 5-1 in the second period, but came storming back to make it a one-goal game on two separate occasions in the third period.

The two teams are back out on the ice again tonight.

🔼 Even After 90. Michigan State women’s soccer played No. 25 Indiana to a 1-1 draw on Thursday night in Bloomington.

Michigan State is back in action this Sunday when it travels to Rutgers.

🔼 Terps In Town. Michigan State men’s soccer puts its undefeated record on the line this Sunday against Maryland.

The Spartans are alone in second place in the Big Ten standings to this point at 2-0-3, while the Terps come into town in the conference cellar at 0-4-1.

The Spartans are at No. 2 Nebraska tonight, with the hopes of handing the Cornhuskers their first loss of the season.

After that, it’s off to Iowa City to take on the Hawkeyes, who are looking for their first Big Ten win of the season.

No. 15 Penn State is first up tonight — the Nittany Lions are 6-5 overall on the year, but still seeking its first Big Ten win. No. 4 Rutgers is in town on Sunday, sitting at 12-0 overall and 3-0 in the Big Ten, with a matchup at No. 9 Ohio State tonight before heading to East Lansing.
