🔼 Again And Again. Three first half goals and two more in the second half were plenty as Michigan State women’s soccer dominated Maryland 5-0 on Thursday evening.

Five different Spartans scored in the contest — Gabby Mueller, Jordyn Wickes, Zivana Labovic, MJ Andrus and Ranya Senhaji.

🔼 This One Is B1G. Who’s ready for one of the biggest matchups of the year for Michigan State men’s soccer?

The Spartans (5-0-3) host Penn State on Sunday at 3 p.m. in a battle between top Big Ten contenders. The Nittany Lions are 6-1-2 overall and 2-0 so far in conference play.

🔼 Stiff Road Tests. Michigan State field hockey has quite the test ahead of it this weekend.

The Spartans are on the road, playing first at No. 3 Northwestern this afternoon before traveling to Iowa City to take on No. 1 Iowa on Sunday.

The Wildcats are 9-1 on the season and 2-0 in Big Ten play, while Iowa is undefeated at 9-0 and 1-0 in the Big Ten.

🔼 Here And There. Michigan State volleyball has a pair of Big Ten matchups this weekend.

First up is a trip to Evanston, Ill. to take on the 6-6 Northwestern Wildcats this evening, then the Spartans are back home on Sunday to take on the 8-5 Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

Michigan State is 9-4 on the season, splitting a pair of Big Ten matchups against Michigan and Illinois last weekend.
