Tori Jankoska has once again proven to be the much needed catalyst for a team looking for a confidence boost late in the season. In a game that saw constant lead changes and momentum swings, the sophomore forward would send the dagger through the hearts of the Boilermakers with 14 seconds left on the clock. Up by three, a steal by the 5-foot-8 guard followed by an uncontested layup was the bitter end to Purdue's resurgent run to a close upset, finishing the season on a three-game wins streak thanks to a 61-56 final score. Jankoska, the Freeland native, capped off the regular-season by recording her tenth 20+ points game of the season to make her the MSU leader in points down in West Lafayette, giving the Spartans an undefeated record whenever she sits on top of the leaderboard. The offensive firepower of Jankoska and Aerial Powers combined for 43-points, the only two players that recorded more than five points before the final buzzer.
Tori Jankoska has picked off where she left off this past Wednesday against the Purdue Boilermakers, garnering 14-points before heading back into the locker room to give MSU a 29-28 lead before halftime. With the ninth seed in the upcoming Big Ten tournament on the line Saturday afternoon, the Spartans came out of the gates early with a head of steam, quickly going on a 15-6 advantage at the 10:24 mark. But the Boilermakers, who are sitting dead last in the conference standings with Penn State, went on a 22-14 run to make it a one possession game. Andreona Keys would end the first 20-minutes of play by hitting an uncontested layup right before the buzzer to cut the deficit to one, following a turnover by freshman Kennedy Johnson with two seconds remaining. Jankoska is shooting 75 percent (3-of-4) from beyond the arc and 57 percent (4-of-7). She has also posted two rebounds and two assists. Meanwhile, sophomore forward Aerial Powers has broken the MSU single-season rebounding record after grabbing her 337th of the season.

C. Vivian Stringer, the head coach of No. 20 ranked Rutgers, closed the locker room for media members following their defeat at the hands of MSU this past Sunday in East Lansing. When the 2009 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee had her run-in with reporters inside the tunnel, the conversation quickly focused on the performance of Aerial Powers.
