What else do we have brewing today?

🏀 B1G matchup
⛳️ Golf in the sun
💚 And much, much more

🔼 At The Top. No. 14 Michigan State men’s hoops is back at the Breslin Center today for an important conference matchup, hosting Purdue at 7 p.m. on Peacock.

The Boilermakers are in third place in the Big Ten standings at 11-4, a half-game behind the second-place Spartans.

🔼 Back On Top. Michigan State hockey has reclaimed the top spot this week in both the USCHO and USA Hockey polls!

The Spartans play their final home regular season series this weekend, hosting Penn State on Friday and Saturday. Both games will be broadcasted on the Big Ten Network.

🔼 Monday Surge. Entering Monday’s final round in a tie for sixth place, Michigan State women’s golf fired off a tournament-best 12-under par in the final round to jump all the way to the top of the leaderboard and claim a win at the Spartan Sun Coast Invitational in Sarasota, Fla.

Katie Lu led the way in the final round, shooting 7-under on the day.

🔼 The Lansing Lefty. After a dominant showing in Cary, N.C. against Western Michigan on opening weekend, Michigan State’s Joseph Dzierwa has been named the Big Ten Pitcher of the Week!

Dzierwa is the first Michigan State pitcher to earn B1G Pitcher of the Week honors since May 1, 2023 when former teammate Harrison Cook earned the accolade.

💚 ONE BIG THING

🔼 Owning His Development. “We have a great life here and its hard work, definitely, but it pays off when you’re winning games and having fun.”

Since transferring over the summer, Charlie Stramel has put in the work — both on his own and with our coaches — to keep developing. Now, he feels stronger than ever and a better hockey player because of it.
