For the first time since 2007, the Spartans came out of their in-state rivalry meet victorious with a score of 197.200-196.975.Michigan State started off their meet against the Wolverines on vault, and the Spartans did not disappoint. Vault turned out to be MSU’s highest-scoring rotation, with five Spartans scoring over 9.800 for a whopping total score of 49.400. Freshman Nikki Smith kicked off her first home meet as a Spartan with a bang. Smith finished her vault with a stuck landing that made the packed house go wild. She scored a whopping 9.950 and won first place in the event.The Wolverines made their start on the uneven parallel bars, and despite their impressive 49.125, Michigan was down to close out the first rotation. The Spartans moved onto the uneven bars to start their second rotation.Shortly after she started, sophomore Skyla Schulte had to drop down from the bars and restart her routine, resulting in a deduction and a 9.325 score. Despite having to restart, Schulte remained calm and collected and found a way to recover.Fortunately for Michigan State, the rest of the uneven bars lineup was not shaken up by the misstep and was ready to perform. The remaining five Spartans all put up scores above 9.800 to give them a running total score of 98.650.Three gymnasts tied for first place on the uneven bars—Michigan’s Abby Heiskell, Michigan State freshman Olivia Zsarmani and junior Delanie Harkness. Michigan simultaneously had a solid performance on vault, but their 98.500 total score was not quite enough to edge Michigan State out of the lead. MSU moved over to the balance beam to kick off the third rotation and had strong performances all around, with every gymnast scoring over 9.825. Sophomore Gabrielle Stephen had a standout performance topped off with a stuck landing to send the crowd and her teammates into a frenzy. Stephen scored a 9.900 and shared first place in beam with Michigan’s Natalie Wojcik.The Wolverines took to the floor in the third round and really lit up Jenison. Michigan had five of six gymnasts score above a 9.875, and for the first time in the meet, the Spartans fell behind the Wolverines. Going into the final rotation on the floor, the Spartans found themselves down 148.050-147.952. They needed to go big, and they absolutely did. It was one strong performance after another for the Spartans, and Smith had the crowd going wild for her energetic floor routine. The freshman had so much height on each of her tumbling passes that it looked like she was flying. She managed to score a 9.900. On the other side of Jenison, Michigan was competing on the balance beam for their final rotation.

In the Michigan State women’s basketball team’s 84-81 nail-biting, overtime loss to the No. 10 Iowa Hawkeyes, the largest disparity on the score sheet was at the bottom of the personal foul column.Through the 45 minutes of play, three players fouled out for the Spartans, leaving the green and white down two starters and a double-digit scorer by the end of the game.With seven and a half minutes left in regular time, senior forward Taiyier Parks fouled out. A few minutes later, sophomore forward Isaline Alexander followed, and as the seconds were winding down in overtime, sophomore guard DeeDee Hagemann logged her fifth foul of the game, sending her to the bench as well. In total, Michigan State logged a season-high 25 fouls throughout the course of the game — significantly higher than its season average of about 18 fouls per game.On the other side of the court, graduate student forward/center Monika Czinano was the only Hawkeye player who fouled out. Iowa had just 16 fouls total.Head coach Suzy Merchant said that she thought the calls were a little one sided on Wednesday night.“I think they get—Cait (Caitlin Clark) gets—the benefit of the doubt. I mean, anytime she drives, the whistle's ready to go,” Merchant said. “I thought there were times when they were initiating the contact and we had verticality and they were driving into us and we were strapped up and on our end those were kind of no calls.”The veteran head coach said that although some of the fouls were warranted — especially towards the end of the scrappy game — the disparity between the end foul totals for the two Big Ten teams was too great. “They didn't call them for us, but on their end it seemed to be a foul, so I thought that was disappointing,” Merchant said. “Now, we had fouled a little bit down the stretch there, but not enough to be 25 to 16 disparity.”The Hawkeyes were sent to the free-throw line on 27 different occasions where they were able to net 22 points. Iowa's star junior guard Caitlin Clark had, by far, the most free throws making 12-14, nearly as many as the 16-19 from the entire Michigan State team. It was a tough loss for the Spartans, especially after holding a former Big Ten Player of the Year like Clark to just six field goals on her 19 shots. Frustration was evident from the Spartan bench especially as things came down to the wire, and the crowd was right there with them getting riled up. “We've lost three overtime games and two of those we were just absolutely flat, disinterested, then decided to play late in Purdue and Wisconsin,” Merchant said. “Then, it's kind of too late. And then here, I thought our effort was good, but our efficiency wasn't great on the offensive end.”The Spartans will be looking to bounce back from their four-game losing skid at the Breslin Center at 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon against Rutgers.

Ingham County’s largest lake, Lake Lansing, is just a 13-minute drive from Munn Ice Arena. If you’re there over the summer or when the spring semester ends, there’s an off-chance you’ll run into a towering 6-foot-6 20-year-old. And no, it’s not a member of Michigan State’s basketball team, nor an offensive lineman on the football team.
