Spartan alumni sail to preserve the Great Lakes

Drew Fries and his roommate J.T. Bohland took the saying, “Go Green” to a whole new level. The two sailors planned a 65-mile journey across open freshwater from the Wisconsin east coast to the Michigan west coast to raise money and awareness for fresh water preservation and research. 

MEN'S SOCCER

Men's soccer program in a good place with Rensing at the the helm

If you ask Rensing about his 100th career win for the now No. 6 Spartans, he’ll just say “it’s just another win.” “Us coaches, we’re so ingrained in the season,” Rensing said.  “All I care about is beating Wisconsin. I’ll think about (the 100th win) for five seconds, and then I’ll be thinking ‘Oh God, we got to play West Virginia.” But that’s who Rensing is. A coach that never puts his personal feats in front of the team he’s coaching and makes sure the players and the team come first.
