The State N e ws

To day ’ s q u e s t i o n

Have you ever ventured downtown to Lansing in your time at MSU?

But first … let me take a selfie.

In recent years, the selfie has been gaining more and more popularity, but also more and more hate. I see way too many people give the side eye to those who do the standard raise-phone-above-head-toget-a-good-picture maneuver, and I don’t understand the disdain behind it at all.

The selfie is only some self-love, which I think society is definitely lacking. We live in a world where being insecure about yourself is far more common than being proud of how you look and who you are.

I hear “Ugh, don’t look at that picture, I look horrible,” 10 times more than I hear, “I love this picture of me.” The selfie gives people a chance to say, “You know what, I’m beautiful and I’m going to share it.”

Feeling beautiful in today’s world is so important because it feels as though beauty standards are so unattainable. It’s easy to feel like you’ll never be proud of how you look. But since the rise of the selfie, people of all different shapes, sizes, rac-

es and genders are putting themselves out there. They’re showing the world what real beauty looks like and it’s pretty inspirational.

I don’t understand the people who think it’s narcissistic or that our phones are “ruining” the social experience. I love it.

I get to see my friend’s makeup for a party when she goes to school 2,000 miles away, or my sister excited to go to a nice dinner with her boyfriend or my friend show me that his outfit is on point for the day. I get to see the people I love looking great and it’s amazing.

And even if you aren’t looking great, who cares? Take selfies when you’re happy, sad, angry, whenever. No one feels their 100 percent best all the time, so what’s the point in perpetuating that?

Taking a picture of yourself saying, “I had a really bad day” isn’t lame or upsetting, it’s humanizing. It doesn’t matter how you look in the picture. It’s OK to not feel pretty or beautiful, because feeling pretty isn’t the most important thing about you.

The selfie is a great thing and people should embrace it instead of shun it. It helps build confidence. For once, there is this great invention that makes you feel proud of who you are without having to buy an overly expensive product or some sort of enhancement. The selfie is purely you — with the exception of the occasional filter or two.

LETTER: Faylene Owen for MSU Trustee As former student body presidents of MSU, we are writing in support of re-electing candidate Faylene Owen for MSU trustee. In a position which has ultimate control over the direction and policies of the institution, we feel it is essential that members of the university community understand not only why it is important to vote in the trustee election, but to know who they are voting for and why.

Each of us has served in a capacity representing the student body to the Board of Trustees as presidents of the Associated Students of Michigan State University (ASMSU). ASMSU is MSU’s all-university undergraduate student government. Elected by representatives from the student body, this role included several meetings with trustees throughout the year, as well as an ex-officio seat on the board.

During our respective time in office, Trustee Owen has proven to be singularly dedicated to the student body, the university’s primary stakeholders. She has showed unwavering support for the student government, as well as countless student organizations, and has a keen interest in student perspectives.

MSU Trustee Owen has been a board member of MSU Safe Place, a support and advocacy office for relationship violence, which, among many services, provides free and confidential emergency shelter and counseling to survivors of violence. She has also been nationally recognized for her work with the Lester and Jewell Morris Hillel Jewish Stu-

dent Center. Her passionate work in public affairs earned her an appointment to the Commission on White House Fellowships,

by President Bill Clinton.

She goes above and beyond her formal responsibilities as MSU trustee by developing personal relationships with students, supporting their initiatives, advising them, and hosting them regularly at her home. She has been immeasurably helpful to ASMSU and the organized voice of students in university affairs. She treats each student with as much interest and compassion as she would her own children.

Trustee Owen’s primary challenger, Melanie Foster, does not have a similar record.

As a former MSU trustee, Foster was by and large dismissive of student concerns, and the initiatives of ASMSU. Despite her statewide endorsements, the endorsement that matters most is that of the students. Foster time and again was cavalier to the endeavors of the student government.

In contrast, Trustee Owen is the only board member over the years to have intimately worked beside students and stood with them when others were indifferent. Trustee Owen takes the time to meet with various student constituency groups, and address their concerns at the board level. She actually values the input from the student body, and regards it as crucial to all decisions made for the university. Unfortunately, based on our experiences and interaction with the trustees, the

same cannot be said about Foster.

Foster also supports an admission policy that “overwhelmingly favors Michigan citizens” while at the same time touts a platform of keeping tuition affordable. Out-ofstate and international students pay more than double in-state students, and heavily subsidize the cost of tuition for Michigan residents. Put simply, diversity of student residency helps curb tuition hikes. In 2012 MSU had the single highest resident student population, at 81 percent compared to the 65 percent average, in the Big Ten. In other words, MSU already overwhelmingly favors Michigan citizens and has the most homogeneous student population among its peer institutions, despite steady tuition increases and diminishing state and federal funding.

As people who care deeply about the institution and its students, we think voters should know what these candidates stand for, and their records on interacting with the student body. Despite all the rhetoric, Trustee Owen is the only candidate on the ballot who’s interests align with the student body at large.

Michael Webber was the Student Assembly chairperson of ASMSU from 2008 to 2009.

Kyle Dysarz was the Student Assembly chairperson of ASMSU from 2009 to 2010. Evan Martinak was the ASMSU president from 2012 to 2014. Kiran Samra was the ASMSU president in 2014.

International students embrace American Halloween traditions

By Nolly Dakroury ndakroury@ statenews.com

When second year law student Yossef Alsaeed came from Saudi Arabia, he had never heard of Halloween.

“We have totally different holidays, which are mostly family holidays,” Alsaeed said.

He said the first time he got invited to a Halloween party he didn’t dress up because he didn’t know that dressing up was associated with the holiday. Since then, it has become a tradition for him to celebrate Halloween.

This year he joined in the festivities at the Halloween Spooktacular event hosted by the International Students Association and the University Activities Board Friday night.

“I love Halloween; it’s my favorite holiday here in the United States because there (are) a lot of activities, I would say,” Alsaeed said.

ISA President Symbat Payayeva said she is keen on encouraging international students to experience American culture while they’re living here, since they will be in the country for only four years in most cases.

Payayeva, an economics and political science senior, said

FAC T In China, the Halloween festival is known Teng Chieh. People place food and water in front of photographs of deceased relatives and light bonfires and lanterns to guide the spirits back to earth.

she didn’t care much about celebrating Halloween her first two years of school and only started celebrating it her junior year.

“I look at people and they’re having fun so I say, ‘why not?’” she said.

Back in her home country of Kazakhstan, young people sometimes celebrate it, but it’s not that huge of a celebration.

She said since she is from a Muslim country, Halloween is not observed as a holiday and is “kind of prohibited” in certain circles.

Similarly, in China, young people also sometimes celebrate Halloween by dressing up and going out to dinner with friends, said communication sophomore Anqi Qu. Qu decided to experience the holiday by decorating a pumpkin for the first time.

First year graduate student in literature and native of China Lareina Wang was also experiencing Halloween for the first time through pumpkin decorating.

She said there is a similar festival in China in which people remember and commemorate the dead, but unlike Halloween, it is not festive.

“People go to (the tombs) to give all the best of wishes to the dead and they burn paper

crafts to honor the dead,” Wang said.

In addition to decorating pumpkins, students at the event took part in tarot card readings, palm readings, a costume contest, dancing and a haunted house.

Jordan Hensley, one of UAB’s four event directors, said the board is

aiming to include more international students in their events this year.

That is why they decided to reach out to ISA this year.

“So I found out that (ISA) did a haunted house last year so it was great for (building) relationships and they had a lot of ideas and there are a

lot of people who can help,” she said.

Payayeva said in addition to Halloween being a chance to be someone else for a day, celebrating it is also a good “break.”

“It’s a break from school, I think, especially because there’s a lot of stress,” she said.

After ELPD denies protester demands, student groups look to maintain pressure

By Olivia Dimmer odimmer@statenews.com

A week after protesters walked down Grand River Avenue to the East Lansing Police Department, the student groups that organized the protest are looking to take future action against the police, which did not to meet the group’s demands by their deadline Wednesday.

About a dozen students met Thursday night for a town hall to discuss the next steps in a campaign to hold East Lansing police accountable in what some called “willful ignorance” in the face of community concerns regarding racial profiling and brutality.

Members of Students United, the Black Student Alliance and other groups discussed possible future efforts to gain more public attention to the demands that were made by protesters last Wednesday during a march and rally.

East Lansing resident and Students United member Crystal Gause was particularly concerned with the department’s use of military surplus equipment, which it has access to through Ingham County.

The State N e ws

On Tuesday, East Lansing officials met with The State News to discuss a variety of topics, including the protesters’ demands. "(The protesters) had some valid points and we’re willing to meet with them and talk with them and see what we can do,” East Lansing Police Captain Jeff Murphy told The State News on Tuesday.

But Murphy said he didn’t “think (the department is) going to meet all of the demands,” but was happy to discuss them.

Some of the demands, such as the use of body cameras by officers, are expensive to meet, Murphy said. Because the technology is relatively new, the cameras would not have the memory or battery capacity the department would need, officials said.

During the town hall, Gause discussed the meeting protesters had with East Lansing Police Chief Juli Liebler, and said she left disrespected by the refusal of all demands.

After debriefing members on previous protests and meetings, Gause asked all members of the media to leave the room, to maintain the secrecy of future plans.

MSU alumna Noah Saperstein said he never expected the police department to meet all the demands but was surprised at the dismissive nature the protesters were met with. Saper-

stein added that East Lansing police could have body cameras, despite the department noting the expensiveness of the equipment, if they delegated more funds to cameras instead of military surplus equipment.

“The police departments, they work with had enough money to buy M-16s, armored vehicles, body armor and things like that,” he said. “It’s not a matter of them having the revenue, but how they allocate it. That’s a reflection of them as a whole.”

Saperstein said the police department could very easily meet at least some of the demands the group had.

“If they wanted to it would be very easy for them to speak out against the violent action Ferguson police have taken,” he said.

Even smaller things, such as mounted officers using horses as “an intimidation tactic,” contribute to a culture of police aggression, he said.

Moving forward, Saperstein said the group is hoping to organize further activities in the future.

“We’re going to be setting up meetings to formalize the process,” he said. “And figuring out a way to structuring this newly formed organization, as a means to resist police oppression but more so as a means to implement change.”

Free on-campus laundry services draw nonresidents

MSU police campaign raises concern about number of bike lanes

By Anthony Herta aherta@statenews.com

By Megan Cochrane mcochrane@statenews.com

Laundry is a chore. Lugging heavy baskets full of clothing, detergent softener, and dryer sheets up and down stairs then through long hallways can be exhausting.

The search for quarters can seem endless and with multiple loads of washing and drying, laundry can get expensive.

Since Residence Education and Housing Services, or REHS, began offering free laundry services in all residence halls last year, many students have taken advantage of it — even a few off-campus students.

For theatre junior Imani Bonner, who lives off campus, doing laundry is not as simple as walking downstairs and tossing a few loads into the washer.

Inadequate amenities, no personal transportation and a busy schedule make her laundry routine difficult.

Because of that she resorted to using MSU’s free laundry services.

“I use it because it’s free and also because they have really good washers and dryers. They hold a lot of clothes,” Bonner said.

Though her apartment complex has washers and dryers, Bonner said tenants have to pay for them, they are smaller and “they’re not that good.” Sometimes, they do not work properly and Bonner doesn’t want to waste money on faulty machines.

MSU aims to give on-campus residents a better experience.

“We are constantly looking at ways to enhance our

services to students,” said Ashley Chaney, Assistant Director of Communications for REHS. Although Bonner takes advantage of the free laundry service, it isn’t convenient for her. She does her laundry less often than she typically would because it is taxing and time consuming.

Bonner said a friend picks her up with her laundry and they drive back to the friend’s residence hall. There, Bonner washes and dries her clothes as quickly as possible so she can then load clean clothes back into her friend’s car and get dropped off at her apartment complex.

“So far, I’ve only done it once,” Bonner said. “I try not to do it that often because it’s an inconvenience.”

Chaney said there is no way for REHS to track the use of laundry facilities by nonresidents, but laundry rooms on campus require key cards to permit access. That is meant to control usage.

“We would hope that our halls are our students’ homes and they would take some ownership of that,” Chaney said in response to the idea of residents granting access to off-campus Imani Bonner Theatre junior friends.

Biomedical laboratory science junior Kayln Smith said she has never seen any off-campus students in the laundry room, but that it could definitely happen.

Smith said if the practice were to grow it could be a problem because the number of washers and dryers is limited. Availability would be a big concern, she said.

Chaney said if usage by nonresidents came to the attention of REHS or residence hall staff, consequences “would be on a case-by-case basis.”

The new campaign by MSU police to increase awareness of existing traffic laws has reached students, but the conversation is about the lack of bike lanes.

Physical science junior Bryce Tebos doesn’t think students can realistically comply with the law requiring bicyclists to ride only in bike lanes.

“If you’re saying it’s illegal to ride on the sidewalk, the bike lanes on campus aren’t sufficient enough to have all bike riders stay true to that policy,” Tebos said. “I understand where they’re coming from, but the thing is, at the end of the day there aren’t enough bike lanes on campus to make it safe for bike riders to ride in the streets.”

Although there aren’t bike lanes everywhere on campus, MSU police Lt. Randy Holton said bikers should, by law, ride on the street and act as a motorist when bike lanes aren’t available.

Despite the law, many students are reluctant to ride their bikes on the roads.

“I feel safer riding on the sidewalk,” supply chain sophomore Joshua Lu said. “On the sidewalk I’m the one going the fastest, so I don’t have to worry about getting hit.”

According to Holton, the most common accidents occur when a biker rides across a cross-

walk and makes contact with a vehicle.

“What we’re trying to do is that we have so many bicyclists and pedestrians that we want to make sure they’re following the laws so we don’t have an unsafe environment,” Holton said.

It comes down to motorists following proper road etiquette by yielding to pedestrians and giving them enough space, Holton said.

Holton also thinks distractions among motorists, pedestrians and cyclists play a big role in accidents.

“They’re not paying attention,” Holton said. “We have pedestrians and bicyclists that are just listening to their music, texting and on their phone, talking and riding and not paying attention.”

After hearing about the increased number of accidents, Lu started wearing a helmet while riding his bike on campus.

“If I were to ever get in an accident with my head it could cause a lot of damage,” Lu said. “That concerned and worried me, so I decided to start wearing one.”

Holton sa id t he p ol ice department wants to continue to make students aware of existing ordinances and laws.

“Basically ever yone just kinda has to do their part to make sure it’s a safe environment for the campus,” Holton said.

Break out of East Lansing and scope out Lansing’s offerings

By Ian Martin imartin@statenews.com

A

s students spend their time on campus, it’s easy to get caught in the East Lansing bubble.

However, there are a variety of different entertainment, dining and artistic options within Lansing to explore. Read on to find out about a few of Lansing’s gems that are hidden from most students.

Entertainment Mac’s Bar 2700 E. Michigan Ave. Mac’s Bar is one of the oldest bars in East Lansing.

“Historically, it used to be a very rough and rowdy, crazy place,” said Kara Redmond, bartender and child development senior. “We have people that come in all the time after football games and tailgates that are like, ‘Well I came here 20 years ago and I was here the day the bar closed down.’”

The bar has live music four to six days a week, with genres ranging from metal, punk rock, indie, pop and hip hop, and also has a free comedy show

every Monday night.

Customers can get half off of pitchers and pints of wells and draft beer from 3 to 7 p.m. every day at Mac’s. According to Redmond, Mac’s is mostly a beer and whiskey bar, but also has really good “strong islands.”

The Loft 414 E. Michigan Ave. The Loft is another live music venue located in the stadium district of downtown Lansing. The Loft was established in Lansing in 2010 and has a 400 person capacity. It’s used for a variety of music shows and private parties. More recently, the Loft has featured artists such as Pete Yorn, Bubba Sparxxx and Danny Brown.

The Loft features a smaller room called the Parlor, which has bar service, a pool table and Golden Tee. Managing partner Dave Sell for 414 Entertainment says the Loft already gets a lot of students, depending on the shows. Students can check for upcoming artists on their website.

Nuthouse Sports Grill 420 E. Michigan Ave. Just across the street from the Lansing Center and diagonal from Cooley Law School Stadium, Nuthouse has all the makings of a classic sports bar. TVs fill the restaurant with a diverse and loud crowd of people, ranging from college students to people in their 50s. Nuthouse has a

sports-themed menu that has food dishes from burgers to grinders to pizza and different drink specials every day of the week. Bouncer Blake Redmond has only been working a few days but enjoys the restaurant’s atmosphere.

“I’m always smiling, and the positive attitudes of everyone here keeps me smiling,” Redmond said.

Restaurants El Oasis 2501 E. Michigan Ave. At first glance, this food truck looks like it belongs at a county fair. But since 2005, El Oasis has maintained a presence in Lansing. The white and orange truck, which specializes in authentic Mexican food, has several picnic tables set up for customers to enjoy their dishes.

El Oasis manager Francisco Gutierrez said his personal favorite is the steak taco, and customer favorites include the chicken burrito and dinner special.

“We have a dinner special, which is three tacos, beans and rice — that’s our most popular item on our menu,” Gutierrez said.

Gutierrez said he tries to keep the price, which begins at $1.50 and goes up depending on the

Spotlight product, pretty reasonable.

Emil’s 2012 E. Michigan Ave. This third generation Italian restaurant is about the closest thing to Little Italy that Lansing has. Starting as a food stand in 1921 in the same location, manager Paul Grescowle said Emil’s is Lansing’s oldest restaurant and the first to receive a beer and wine license.

The building, which is painted a sea foam green, is filled with old photographs and the scent of Italian cooking.

For any hungry students out there tired of ramen noodles, every Tuesday Emil’s features an all-you-can-eat spaghetti deal for $5.95.

Grescowle said the deal, in addition to spaghetti, includes two meatballs, choice of soup or a salad and plenty of bread and butter.

Theio’s Restaurant 2650 E. Michigan Ave. Theio’s Restaurant has the feel of a classic mom and pop diner from the ‘70s. The restaurant has wooden walls with old school decorations, including Spartan memorabilia.

Shift manager Heather Bergey said menu favorites include the eggs Louie, the bacon cheeseburger and anything fried.

Theio’s is college student friendly with Internet access and a 10 percent off discount for college students at all times. Open 24 hours, Theio’s serves breakfast at any time. According to Bergey, it’s already a popular late night hangout for students coming from Whiskey Barrel or Mac’s Bar on the weekends.

Lansing’s Old Town This area is made up of a close-knit group of businesses that range from restaurants to antique stores to boutiques. Festivals such as Oktoberfest and the Blues Fest draw students in, but the area features much more than that on a daily basis.

Katalyst Gallery and Gift Boutique 1214 Turner St. With a strong but pleasant aroma of scented candles that immediately hits visitors entering the location, this art gallery and gift boutique just celebrated its fourth anniversary in September.

Katalyst features a variety of art from water color paintings and photography, to print making and

encaustic wax prints. The store displays the art of more than 200 local artists with a new artist spotlighted every month. Katalyst owner Sarah Christian said the featured work this month is artist Anita Bret’s oil-based paintings.

Katalyst has retail, fair trade and some designer pieces as well.

Christian said, “I feel like Old Town is Lansing’s best kept secret.”

Lambs’ Gate Antiques 1219 Turner St. Lambs’ Gate Antiques Store gives off a 1920s vibe as soon as customers walk into the store.

This family-run store, which was established in Old Town over four years ago, carries a variety of different antiques which are impossible to categorize.

The room can only be described as organized chaos. Shelves are filled with old books, tables are overflowing with jewelry and an incomplete set of four pool balls sit inside a wooden box.

Lambs’ Gate buys goods directly from people who have inherited things and has dealers who sell items to the store. According to Lambs’ Gate employee Ashley Lamb, they try to cater to all different types of people, including men, women and even kids.

“Old Town consistently wins the best place to take a first date or to take a date,” Lamb said. “I actually really like our store for dates because it’s bizarre weirdo stuff, and ... say you can just look at this item or crazy thing, and the conversation starts from that.”

Cravings Gourmet Popcorn 1220 Turner St. A store that’s impossible to miss walking down Turner Street is Cravings Gourmet Popcorn — which might in large part be due to the giant decorative bag of popcorn hanging from the top of the building. The popcorn shop features more than 25 flavors which include typical flavors, such as white cheddar, and the more unusual ones, such as bacon cheddar. Customers are able to either purchase predetermined mixes or make their own mix starting at $4.95.

For indecisive and picky customers, there is a sample station in the middle of the store for trying several of the different popcorn flavors. Cravings also has an extensive collection of vintage sodas and other beverages. Manager Ciara Hines said Cravings got its start at the Lansing City Market and eventually branched off into Old Town in 2005.

“It’s a good area to be in. We love it here,” Hines said.

Face time with Shalee Blackmer, MSU student and travel blogger “I’ve learned to be open-minded because on the road, nothing goes as planned. I learned patience.

It’s opened me up, I used to be timid.”

By Meagan Beck mbeck@statenews.com

At the age of 18, advertising junior Shalee Blackmer traveled to Australia alone to stay with a foreign exchange student.

She created “The Michigan Bucket List” on her blog, which has acquired more than 175,000 views and recommends places like Sleeping Bear Dunes and Tahquamenon Falls.

Blackmer has a case of wanderlust and The State News talked to her about her blog, her past advent ures a nd what she has planned for the future.

The State News: When did you start your blog, “Shalee Wanders,” and where did the idea come from?

Shalee Blackmer: I started my blog in February of this year, 2014. After last October I joined a website called Glypho and created a blog on how to go to New York City for New Year’s Eve on a budget.

I shared this with my friends on Facebook and got great responses.

SN: How were you introduced to traveling?

SB: My family traveled when I was a kid, but mostly in Michigan so for fun and entertainment I would explore the trails because we were surrounded by woods. That’s where I first got my case of wanderlust. I caught the travel bug for something bigger when I was 16 or 17. I surprised my parents asking to go to Australia by myself when I was 18 to stay with a foreign exchange friend. I stayed there for a month. It was very much a different thing, they are way more relaxed than Americans.

It was great to live with the family and learn the culture.

SN: “The Michigan Bucket List” was popular on social media, how did you decide to compile the list?

SB: It got 175,000 views in less than a week. It was very unexpected but everyone has had great responses and people have commented their suggestions and they told me places I didn’t know about, so I have added to my list. I picked my favorite adventures I’ve had in Michigan and combined with things I want to experience. It’s a little more adventure related.

Advertising junior Shalee Blackmer poses for a portrait Friday.

Blackmer said that she loves traveling and hopes to go worldwide in the future.

SN: What is one of the best trips or adventures you have been on?

SB: Australia is up there but last summer, in 2013, I went to Yosemite National Park in California and I climbed the Half Dome and that was probably one of my favorite adventures, because it was the most challenging mentally and physically. That’s how I got into adventure traveling and mostly what I like to revolve around now.

SN: What have you learned from your travels?

SB: I’ve learned you have to be open-minded because on the road, nothing goes as planned.

I learned patience. It’s opened me up, I used to be timid. With travel I’ve learned to let the experience take over. I’ve learned that travel-

ing you never stop learning, it’s always something new. You go somewhere and come back with a better understanding of that place and who you met.

SN: How does your blog inspire you?

SB: I want to inspire others. Before I started the blog, I had these things I wanted to do. What inspired me is my hope to get other people to go out to explore something and step outside their comfort zone.

SN: What is your goal for the blog?

SB: I have two more years at MSU. (The blog) has been mostly Midwestern based but eventually I want to take it and travel globally. I want to take my readers on the trip with me and take them to places they may not know existed around the world.

College GameDay will come to East Lansing on Saturday for pivotal MSU–Ohio State football game

By Robert Bondy rbondy@statenews.com

This week’s already colossal matchup between No. 8 MSU and No. 13 Ohio State got even bigger on Sunday when ESPN announced College GameDay is coming to East Lansing on Saturday.

The announcement was made via College GameDay’s Twitter handle, tweeting “Breaking: GameDay is heading to East Lansing for Ohio State vs Michigan State!” at 11:24 a.m. on Sunday.

The show features ESPN college football commentators Kirk Herbstreit, Chris Fowler, Desmond Howard and Lee Corso, traveling across the country with a new site each week. The show normally

selects one of the biggest games of the week as its location and serves as one of the nation’s premier college football pregame shows.

This will be the second time College GameDay will be in attendance for a MSU game this season, attending MSU-Oregon on Sept. 6 in Eugene, Ore. College GameDay last was in East Lansing two years ago, when Ohio State came to town in 2012. MSU lost that day, 17-16. College GameDay also was on site last season when MSU beat Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis.

Kickoff between MSU–Ohio State is set for 8 p.m. on Saturday, with the game airing on ABC.

Second half goals doom men’s soccer on senior day, falling to U-M at home, 3-2

By Matthew Argillander margillander@statenews.com

The seniors on the men’s soccer team ended their career at DeMartin Soccer Stadium on a low note.

The Spartans (9-4-4 overall, 3-2-2 Big Ten) lost to the Michigan Wolverines (6-73 overall, 3-2-2 Big Ten) 3-2 on senior day in East Lansing on Sunday.

“I don’t think we made enough defensive plays,” redshirt senior defender Ryan Keener said. “Credit to our offense — scoring two goals, usually that’s enough to win for us.”

Michigan took the early lead, scoring at the 7:27 mark on a goal by redshirt senior midfielder Tyler Arnone, giving the Wolverines a 1-0 lead. The goal by Arnone was only the third first-half goal MSU has given up all season.

The Spartans equalized at the 14:01 mark on a goal by senior forward Adam Montague on an assist by junior midfielder Jay Chapman and sophomore midfielder Dewey Lewis, making it 1-1. The goal

by Montague hit a Wolverine defender before taking a bounce and floating above Michigan senior goalkeeper Adam Grinwis’ head and dropping in.

The Spartans weren’t done in the first half, sending another one through at the 37:27 mark, making it 2-1 MSU on a goal

by Chapman on an assist by junior midfielder Jason Stacy and redshirt senior forward and midfielder Tim Kreutz.

“I think I did OK for myself, obviously maybe I could have done a little more,” Chapman said. “I think as a team we definitely played good enough to win. Credit to Michigan — they played well, and they finished their chances.”

The second half allowed the Wolverines to regroup, and at the 53:22 mark Michigan equalized, making it 2-2 on a goal by freshman forward Ahinga Selemani on an assist by junior midfielder and forward William Mellors-Blair.

The Wolverines came out on fire in the second half, scoring another goal less than five minutes later at the 57:17 mark. Michigan’s third goal of the game came from redshirt junior midfielder Colin McAtee off of an assist by Selemani, giving the Wolverines a 3-2 lead.

“It was a really tough loss, you know, it’s senior day,” junior goalkeeper Zach Bennett said. “The offense did score two (goals), so we can’t put too much (of this loss) on them. I put a lot of the loss on me.”

The third goal would prove too much for the Spartans offense as they could not equalize. MSU next plays against Indiana (11-2-4 overall, 3-2-2 Big Ten) on Wednesday in their final regular season game.

Sports Last weekend epitomized up-anddown nature of volleyball’s season

By Troy Jefferson tjefferson@statenews.com

The volleyball team continued its success over the Big Ten bottom feeders over the weekend while also continuing its struggles against the conference elite.

The Spartans (13-10 overall, 6-6 Big Ten) had a hard time with No. 10 Illinois (18-5 overall, 10-2 Big Ten) on Friday night, losing in four sets, 1-3 (21-25, 25-21, 22-25, 18-25).

“It’s definitely disappointing and frustrating,” sophomore outside hitter Chloe Reinig said after the loss. “(Northwestern was) just really loose and throwing everything at us.”

Reinig had her first career double-double against the Fighting Illini, posting 16 kills and 10 digs. She also added five blocks.

Senior libero and team co-captain Kori Moster, despite the loss, also had a career night against Illinois, tying her career best with 29 digs.

With the 29 digs, Moster moved into sixth place on the Big Ten career digs list surpassing former Purdue libero Kelli Miller. Adding 12 digs on Saturday, she sits at 2,049, which is 129 shy of fifth place.

MSU imposed its will and came out aggressive on Sat-

urday night, defeating Northwestern (14-9 overall, 4-8 Big Ten) in straight sets, 3-0 (25-17, 25-18, 25-16).

“After last night we were disappointed in the way we played,” head coach Cathy George said. “The team really focused coming out tonight, played together, played more united.”

The Spartans did a better job using its size against Northwestern, out blocking the Wildcats, 10-2.

Senior middle blocker and team co-captain Jazmine White turned in an impressive performance for MSU on Saturday night, posting a career-best 11 kills on a .529 hitting percentage.

White also added six blocks and two service aces.

“She’s capable of so many things offensively and defensively,” Moster said about White, a fellow co-captain. “She got on a run for us and that was awesome to see.”

Like this past weekend, MSU will welcome a team beneath them in the conference standings and one team ahead of them in the conference standings to Jenison this upcoming weekend.

The Spartans will take on Minnesota (14-9 overall, 4-8 Big Ten) on Friday and Wisconsin (20-2 overall, 11-1 Big Ten) on Sunday.
