Michigan State women’s basketball was able to end its regular season on a high note with an 80-65 win over Penn State on the road. MSU has been playing aggressively recently, closing out their season by winning four of their last five games.The Spartans took to the floor in Happy Valley Saturday afternoon for their final regular season contest of the 2022-2023 season. The Lady Lions won the tip, but it was a three-pointer from sophomore guard DeeDee Hagemann that kicked off the scoring. It was a fast-paced first quarter with little respite for the players, and it wasn't until just over seven minutes into the game that a media timeout gave both teams a much-needed breather.Hagemann is the typical fixture on the floor at the point position, but when the sophomore limped off to the bench, freshman guard Theryn Hallock took to the court. In just two minutes on the floor, Hallock was able to make a significant impact. The freshman put up seven points at the end of the first quarter with one from beyond the arch and two in the paint. Hagemann was quickly able to get back to playing for the second quarter, and she even managed to garner a career-high 20 points throughout the game. The Spartans were able to dominate on both sides of the ball early on holding the Lady Lions to just 19 points with 3:34 left in the first half while sinking 41 of their own to build a solid lead.There were seven different scorers in the first half for the Spartans and numerous others that contributed with rebounding and other aspects of play that helped Michigan State remain in control of the game.“It was a game of spirits, and it always gets a little dicey you know you get a 19-point lead, and it gets cut in a hurry and then it gets cut to single digits next thing you know I'm looking up a second half and it's a seven-point,” MSU Women's Basketball Interim Head Coach Dean Lockwood said. “But very proud of our team. As a staff, we're just so proud that, number one, everyone who came into that game contributed. Every player who got in that game really gave us something significant.” Unfortunately for Michigan State, the Spartan luck changed quickly, and Penn State was able to start chipping away at the MSU lead fast.In just over three minutes, Penn State took Michigan State’s lead from 22 to 13 to close out the half. A large part of the Lady Lion’s late success was freshman guard Shay Ciezki. Ciezki was on fire from deep hitting seven of ten three-pointers to contribute to her career-high 27 points. The Spartans were struggling to defend Ciezki, and even when they had good defensive looks, the freshman was still able to net nearly all her shots from three. With eight minutes left in the game, the Lady Lions slashed the Spartan lead to single digits, but Michigan State refused to let them get too close.With just over six minutes left to play, sophomore guard/forward Matilda Ekh sunk a three for her first points since the first quarter, and the Spartans started to pick up the pace on both sides of the ball.Penn State senior guard Makenna Marisa has been a star player averaging 17.9 points per game and a 38.7 field goal percentage. Against the Spartans, Marisa had a 9.1 field goal percentage and just two points all afternoon.In the end, MSU was able to regain control of the game and finish out the road game with a 15-point victory.With the conclusion of the regular season, Michigan State will be traveling to Minneapolis for the Big Ten tournament starting on Wednesday, March 1.

Michigan State women’s basketball honored three graduating seniors during their 71-67 win over Minnesota on Wednesday afternoon. The crowd at the Breslin Center was smaller than normal after an ice storm warning caused the game to be moved up two and a half hours from 7 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., but the three seniors—senior forward Jayla James and graduate student guards Kamaria McDaniel and Stephanie Visscher—were still able to get their traditional Breslin sendoff. The first of the senior day celebrations began before tipoff when the crowd was asked to stand for the playing of the Swedish national anthem—played in honor of Visscher who hails from Lulea, Sweden. All three seniors were in the starting lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Gophers. McDaniel has started in every game she has played as a Spartan, but the lineup included fellow seniors Visscher and James for the first time this season. The 2023 seniors are a unique bunch because all three of them are transfer players.McDaniel started her career off at Penn State before transferring to Baylor and then finally landing at Michigan State for her final season. McDaniel has been a constant major contributor for the Spartans in her one year in the green and white, averaging a team-high 13.7 points per game.“For me, being at Michigan State means the opportunity to be myself and to flourish and for that I'm just grateful … You got to take on everything in life and just understand what ways it benefits you in which way which ways God is trying to lead you to grow,” McDaniel said. “This has been a great, great experience for me and I'm so grateful for all the people because everybody plays a part in your full circle journey in life, so it's been a great experience.” Visscher started her college basketball career at Steven F. Austin State University where she played for four years before joining the Spartans for her final season. Visscher has hit the court in 26 of 27 games this season and started for the first time against Minnesota. Visscher was a force at the boards on Wednesday afternoon, grabbing six rebounds for the Spartans, and making a huge contribution to the game. James is another Spartan senior that started her career as a Lady Lion at Penn State, but unlike McDaniel and Visscher, James has been a fixture on the Spartan roster for three years. “Thank you guys (administration) for giving me this opportunity to create such lifelong relationships and memories,” James said in a speech following the game. “I'm proud to be a Spartan.” Following the conclusion of the game, all three seniors took to the floor with their loved ones for the last time in front of the Breslin crowd to kiss the Spartan head at half court. McDaniel and James were both accompanied by their parents and siblings, but Visscher’s family was unable to make it to East Lansing, so the graduate student was escorted by teammates sophomore center Brooklyn Rewers and fellow Swede, sophomore guard/forward Matilda Ekh. Senior day celebrations are bittersweet. It marks the end of one chapter, but also the beginning of another. “It's special, and more than anything it's kind of a benchmark moment where you realize—this is a chapter that's ending, those three will never wear this uniform on this floor again,” Interim Head Coach Dean Lockwood said. “There's always a little sadness to it, but you're also excited for them and their futures.” Despite the senior celebrations, Michigan State is not quite done yet. The Spartans will travel to Penn State for their final game of the regular season on Saturday, Feb. 25 at 2 p.m. The game will also be streaming on BTN+.
