🔼 Time For A Test. The No. 8 Washington Huskies are in East Lansing tomorrow to take on Michigan State football in a matchup of undefeated teams!

📰 PREVIEW: Michigan State Takes On No. 8 Washington

🎙 PRESS CONFERENCE: Acting Head Coach Harlon Barnett

🔼 Induction Incoming. This is the weekend — nine distinguished Spartans will be inducted into the Michigan State Athletics Hall of Fame!

Inductees include Guy Busch (men’s soccer), Nicole Bush (women’s cross country/track & field), Al Dorow (football), Stan Drobac (men’s tennis), Rob Ellis (baseball), Nance Lyons Hall (field hockey/softball), David Morgan (wrestling), Emily Regan (rowing) and Javon Ringer (football).

🔼 Headed To The Pound. Michigan State volleyball heads east to Storrs, Connecticut this weekend for its final three non-conference matchups before Big Ten play starts next Friday.

The Spartans play host UConn (4-5) tonight at 7 p.m., Brown (7-0) tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. and finish up with Binghamton (6-4) on Sunday at 1 p.m.

🔼 Battling The Buckeyes. It’s the Big Ten opener!

Michigan State women’s soccer hosts Ohio State this Sunday to kick off conference action. The Spartans have won two straight against the Buckeyes, both 1-0 victories.

🔼 Keep The Momentum Rolling. Fresh off a big 1-0 win over No. 10 Notre Dame, Michigan State men’s soccer opens up Big Ten play at Rutgers this Sunday at 2 p.m.

The Scarlet Knights are 2-3-1 this season, with a 2-0 win over Columbia on Wednesday serving as their momentum heading into Sunday’s matchup.

🔼 Opening Things Up. Michigan State field hockey is yet another program with its Big Ten opener this weekend! And like women’s soccer, the Spartan field hockey team takes on Ohio State this Sunday.

The Buckeyes are 6-1 this season, and take on Michigan this afternoon in Columbus before heading to East Lansing for Sunday’s contest.
