Spartan Brew 12/23: From The Desk Of J Batt

It's a time for reflection!

What else do we have brewing today?

🏀 Championship claimed
đź’š And much, much more

🔼 From The Desk of J Batt. â€śSpartans,

As we close out 2025, it’s a time for reflection – both for what we’ve accomplished as well as what is yet to come. 

Looking back, 2025 was full of Spartan success. Men’s basketball and hockey captured Big Ten titles last winter and brought our Spartan community together in support and celebration of their championship efforts. Women’s gymnastics and women’s soccer reached new levels of achievement, with both programs finishing among the top 8 teams in the nation. Individually, our student-athletes performed at exceptional levels, highlighted by Isaac Howard winning the Hobey Baker Award. These are just a few of the many Spartan teams and student-athletes who have made us proud on the field of competition.”
