What else do we have brewing today?

🏀 Win streak continues
🏒 Win against No. 1
💚 And much, much more

🔼 Back And Forth Battle. In a matchup of Top 25 teams, it was No. 17/19 Michigan State women’s basketball who ended up on top in a 68-66 win over No. 21/25 Iowa at the Breslin Center on Sunday.

The Spartans erased a nine-point deficit in the fourth quarter to earn the win, which pushed them to 10-0 on the season. Julia Ayrault led the way with 19 points, followed by Nyla Hampton (14) and Grace VanSlooten (14).

🔼 Proved It. No. 2/3 Michigan State hockey traveled to Minneapolis this past weekend and earned a series win against No. 1 Minnesota!

After earning a shootout win on Friday night, the Spartans used four third-period goals on Saturday to win 5-3 over the Gophers. Isaac Howard had a pair of goals in the win, Maxim Štrbák had the game-tying goal and assist, Charlie Stramel scored the eventual game-winner and Red Savage added an empty-netter.

🏒 RECAPS: Game 1 | Game 2

🔼 Out West. Michigan State wrestling dropped its first dual of the season on Sunday, 21-14, at CSU Bakersfield.

The Spartans mounted a serious comeback at the tail end of the dual, getting wins from Evan Herriman (141 pounds), Jaden Crumpler (149 pounds) and Braden Stauffenberg (157 pounds). Ceasar Garza also won his match at 174 pounds.

💚 ONE BIG THING

🔼 Sister Act. “I’m excited to race with her, and I’m excited to have her at the meets. As my sister, then also just as a teammate and an athlete.”

Rachel and Sarah Forsyth have always been close, and now, as teammates, they’re continuing to grow together while supporting each other.
