🔼 Mr. Hobey Baker. Michigan State hockey forward Isaac Howard has been named the 2025 recipient of the Hobey Baker Memorial Award!

Howard joins Kip Miller (1990) and Ryan Miller (2001) as the three Spartan Hobey Baker Memorial Award winners.  He is the the 18th Hobey Baker Memorial Award Top 10 selection from the program and first since Taro Hirose in 2019. Both Millers were two-time top 10 finalists. 

🔼 Tamed The ‘Cats. Michigan State baseball won its second Big Ten series of the season over the weekend, taking two-of-three games at home against Northwestern.

The Spartans fell in Game 1 of the series, 11-10 in 11 innings, before winning Game 2 by a 10-0 final score in eight innings and 3-1 in Sunday. Nolan Higgins and Garrett Brewer combined to allow just six hits in Sunday’s rubber match.
