ICE HOCKEY

Hockey goes 1-1 against OSU

The MSU hockey team did its best Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde impression in its two-game series against Ohio State late last week. In the regular season home opener at Munn Ice Arena on Thursday, the Spartans rode the strong play of senior goalkeeper Drew Palmisano to down Ohio State, 3-0.

SOCCER

Women's soccer scores Senior Day victory

It was only fitting for a pair of seniors to send the MSU women’s soccer team out with a win on Senior Day. Following a 3-1 defeat Friday at the hands of Penn State, the Spartans turned around and got goals from forwards Hannah Peterson and Laura Heyboer to dominate Ohio State and come away with the 2-0 victory at DeMartin Stadium at Old College Field. With the win, the Spartans clinch their spot in the Big Ten Tournament, which will be held on Nov.

FOOTBALL

GameDay atmosphere adds to exciting Saturday

Joe Arbow thinks there was a special force driving the MSU football win against Wisconsin on Saturday. The finance junior said the presence of ESPN’s College GameDay in East Lansing added some extra hype for both the players and the fans. “(GameDay) will give us great momentum going in,” Arbow said before the game.

COMMENTARY

I always have found the intersection between business and politics fascinating. Most people don’t. Most people think of this link as an unhealthy combination of greed and political self-interest. They assume nothing meaningful can be learned from examining such a relationship.

COMMENTARY

Take stand against housing bias

As a student at MSU — one who is looking into housing off-campus next year — I would strongly encourage and support the East Lansing City Council’s resolution opposing action be taken by state legislators to deny lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered couples from renting property within East Lansing.

SOCCER

Men's soccer picks up 2-2 tie against Indiana

The MSU men’s soccer team tied Indiana 2-2 Sunday in Bloomington, Ind. The Spartans (4-7-4 overall, 1-2-2 Big Ten) fell behind early when the Hoosiers (9-3-2, 3-1-0) scored twice in the 31st and 49th minutes. MSU evened up the score with a goal from senior defender Stephen Lucianek in the 54th minute, followed by a goal from freshman forward Adam Montague just four minutes later. Montague leads the Spartans in goals with four on the season. Indiana outshot MSU 27-6, with senior goalkeeper Jeremy Clark making seven saves.

COMMENTARY

Project’s impact needs further evaluation

When doing a project, you want it done correctly rather than quickly. The East Lansing City Council, though, appears to be in a rush to grab some federal funding for development on East Grand River Avenue. Last week, the East Lansing City Council voted 4-1 to apply for a federal matching grant to assist in the revamping of the section of Grand River Avenue between Collingwood Drive and Hagadorn Road.
