The MSU women’s soccer defense held No. 1 ranked and undefeated Notre Dame off the board until the 72nd minute. But the lone goal for the Fighting Irish was enough for them to earn the 1-0 victory and end the Spartans’ season.
The No. 17 MSU hockey team has endured two eerily similar weekends in a row. Saturday night’s 3-1 loss to No. 10 Miami (Ohio) was the second straight weekend the Spartans were swept by a clustermate opponent they will face two more times before the end of the season. But the final result wasn’t the only strange similarity of the two losing weekends against two Ohio-based teams.
The final score of Sunday’s 73-42 victory over Stony Brook meant very little to women’s basketball head coach Suzy Merchant. The Spartans were tired, passive and careless in MSU’s second game of the season, Merchant said, even though the scoreboard displayed a 31-point MSU win.
Aisha Jefferson is making up for lost time with a vengeance. The junior forward, who missed all of last season with a torn ACL, scored in double figures for the second time in as many games Sunday for the Spartans, who soared past Stony Brook, 73-42, at Breslin Center.
East Lansing residents might need to start digging out their shovels and winter coats this week. While most areas reported an inch of snowfall, Okemos received about 2.2 inches. The snowstorms that hit the West Coast last week are not connected to the storm that hit the Lansing area, said Rob Dale, a meteorologist for WLNS Channel 6.
Citing a lack of legislative information and explanation from Lansing, Matt Grossmann decided to take policy-making reporting into his own hands.

About 150 protesters braved the cold Saturday night to attend an Alliance of Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Transgender and Straight Ally Students’ rally for equal rights.

Josh Rabinowitz and his wife adopted their daughter from Kazakhstan almost two years ago. Rabinowitz, an Ann Arbor resident, traveled to East Lansing on Sunday for the MSU Global Festival after learning of it through a support group for families with adopted Kazakh children.
It has not been a pleasant year for General Motors Corp. Soaring fuel prices along with a devastating meltdown in the automotive sector have all but evaporated its cash reserves. The company has been steadily shedding its work force for the past year, but those efforts do not appear to have had the intended effect of staving off bankruptcy.
This letter is in response to Friday’s Flavor of the Week article featuring the Lansing band Incarta. The headline read “Lansing rock band fights to be heard in midst of stagnant local music scene” and after reading the article I personally took offense to the local music scene being called stagnant.
I read Police inspect classroom gun threat, find phone (SN 11/12) and believe that how the MSU police went about rescuing students from a cell phone-wielding student is testament to the fact that guns should be allowed on campus.
In response to Thea Neal’s column Keep fighting for same-sex marriage (SN 11/7), I am saddened by the hostility of this article, which criticizes people of faith and those who do not agree with the practice of homosexuality. The Bible does not say “no” to the homosexuals, it says “no” to the practice of homosexuality. Yes, as stated in the column, Jesus is all about love. However, Jesus is also about not practicing homosexuality, not as a matter of hate, but as a plan to experience love as God intended.
It’s one of a college student’s worst fears: A madman comes to class with a gun and opens fire. Although the fear likely has been around for years, the Virginia Tech shootings made it seem all too possible. No longer was the image of a crazed classmate going on a rampage confined to the realm of the imagination.
They say to be the best, you have to beat the best.
