MSU had three players named to the Big Ten second-team: redshirt-sophomore goalkeeper Jimmy Hague, junior midfielder Ken Krolicki and junior defender Jimmy Fiscus. The Spartans haven’t had three men make the second team selection since 2010, according to the release.

Hague is having a breakout season in goal for MSU. He is ranked No. 3 in the Big Ten in goals with a save percentage of .797. The goalkeeper received All-Big Ten Academic honors in 2015. 

Krolicki has also received other Big Ten honors in his time at MSU. The midfielder was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman team in 2014, and Academic All-Big Ten in 2015. He is tied for second for MSU scoring with three goals and two assists, which resulted in eight points this season. Fiscus is the only Spartan this season to have played every minute of every game.

Freshman midfielder Giuseppe Barone was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Barone is tied with Krolicki for the second amount of points on the team, with two goals and four assists. The midfielder is the second Spartan ever to receive this honor.

Freshmen defenders Michael Pimlott and Michael Wetungu were both named to the All-Freshman team.

The last Spartan to be recognized by the Big Ten was senior defender Dewey Lewis. Lewis was honored with the Sportsmanship Award, which honors student-athletes who demonstrate good citizenship outside competition as well as good academic standing.
