MSU Men’s Soccer takes Nail-Biter over Dayton on late PK

By |

The Michigan State men’s soccer team returned to East Lansing Thursday night to host the Dayton Flyers on a rainy night at DeMartin Stadium. The game was a scoreless affair until the 84th minute, when Spartan junior midfielder Sean Kerrigan was fouled in Dayton’s box for a penalty. Replay confirmed the penalty called on the field, and Kerrigan scored the ensuing penalty kick to give Michigan State a 1-0 lead that would eventually be the final score.

DeWitt students’ artwork spreads smiles to Spartans

The violence on Michigan State’s campus on Feb. 13 prompted many in the Lansing community to support Michigan State students. “Spartan Strong” posters, signs in store windows, and thousands upon thousands of flowers brightened the usually dreary mid-February campus. The university’s more than 50,000 students realized that there are hundreds of thousands more who care deeply for them, and wanted to express that in even the smallest of ways.

In the Communication Arts and Sciences building on campus, splashes of color in children’s artwork brightened the halls.
