Madison, Cooper close superb year with honors
The MSU field hockey team didn’t leave Evanston, Ill., with a championship at last weekend’s Big Ten Tournament, but the team wasn’t overlooked completely. Two Spartans received end-of-the-year honors. Head coach Michele Madison was named the Big Ten Coach of the Year and senior forward Bridget Cooper was named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year. Madison received Coach of the Year after leading the team to a 15-5 record, good enough to share the Big Ten regular season championship with Ohio State. No other MSU field hockey coach has ever won the title. “(Madison) truly deserves it, she’s led our team to where we are today,” senior goalkeeper Mara Mabley said.
