🔼 Another Round! No. 2 seed Michigan State women’s soccer plays in the second round of the NCAA Tournament today, welcoming No. 7 seed Wake Forest to DeMartin Stadium at 6 p.m.

The Demon Deacons are 11-4-4 so far this season, picking up a 2-1 win over South Carolina in the tournament’s first round. Wake Forest is 2-4-1 in road matches this season.

🔼 Thursday Tipoff. No. 22 Michigan State women’s basketball plays its fifth consecutive game at the Breslin Center to open its season today, with Eastern Illinois in town for a 6:30 p.m. tipoff.

The Panthers are 0-3 so far this season, with losses to Drake, Purdue and Indiana State.

🔼 All-American Status. For the first time in the modern era of Michigan State men’s tennis, a pair of Spartans have secured All-American honors in the same year!

Ozan Baris and Matthew Forbes each earned wins on Wednesday at the NCAA Individual Championships, punching their tickets to the Round of 16.

🔼 Crushing In The Classroom. Michigan State student-athletes continue to set records in the classroom as the Spartans posted a four-year Federal Graduation Rate (FGR) of 81%, according to data released by the NCAA on Nov. 19. The 81% ties the highest mark in department history, matching the rate from 2023.

💚 ONE BIG THING

🔼 Serving Others! Michigan State's Maddie Lawlor (field hockey) and Jalen Thompson (football) have been named the campus winners for the 2025-26 Jackie Robinson Community & Impact Award presented by Discover, the Big Ten Conference announced on Wednesday!
