🔼 Tickets Punched. 184-pounder Layne Malczewski and 157-pounder Chase Saldate led Michigan State wrestling at the Big Ten Championships over the weekend, both finishing on the podium in seventh place.

The 198.150 team score was the second-best score in school history.
🔼 Season Of The Sweep. Michigan State women’s tennis spent the weekend at home, cruising past Ball State and Oakland in a pair of 4-0 sweeps.
The Spartans now sit at 8-5 overall this spring, with Big Ten play up next with a trip to Penn State on the schedule this Friday.
🔼 First One. No. 16 Michigan State men’s tennis suffered its first home loss of the season on Sunday, falling 4-3 to No. 46 Cornell.
Aristotelis Thanos, Sebastien Collard and Max Sheldon all earned singles victories for the Spartans.

🔼 Onto The Postseason. Michigan State men’s basketball dropped a heartbreaker at Indiana on Sunday to close out the regular season, 65-64.
The Spartans trailed by as many as 17 points in the first half before eventually taking a lead in the second half, but a last-second shot was off the mark and gave the Hoosiers the win.
🔼 Comeback Comes Up Short. No. 4 seed Michigan State women’s basketball fell in its quarterfinal matchup against No. 5 Nebraska on Friday, 73-61.
The Spartans outscored the Huskers 19-11 in the fourth quarter to close the gap, but couldn’t climb all the way back. First-Team All-Big Ten guard Julia Ayrault scored a game-high 25 points for Michigan State.
