Blair’s 25-point career day surges MSU women’s basketball to 6-0 start
With 5:13 left in the second quarter, No. 22 Michigan State needed a bucket as Oakland cut the lead to eight. Just 11 seconds later, redshirt sophomore guard Kennedy Blair delivered. She drove into the paint for another score — just as she had all half — pushing the Spartans’ lead back to double digits and sparking a 27–4 run to close the half. Blair was unstoppable — she already had her career high by the 5:02 mark in the second quarter and finished the half with 19 points on 8-of-9 shooting from the field. She ultimately finished the game with 25 points in just three quarters, the main contributor in a 102-41 MSU victory over Oakland.
MSU defeats Colorado to clinch historic Elite Eight
After two seasons of Sweet 16 heartbreak, the Michigan State women’s soccer team has finally broken through — earning the first Elite Eight berth in program history. The Spartans beat Colorado 2-1 in a tense, end-to-end match in front of a packed crowd at DeMartin Stadium. Head coach Jeff Hosler said after the match that he’s proud of a team that finally broke the “Sweet 16 curse” against a tough Colorado side. With the win, MSU advances to the quarterfinals and will face either No. 1 seed Stanford or No. 5 seed BYU on the road Friday or Saturday, depending on the higher seed. While the Spartans wait to learn their next opponent, they’ll focus on the two things that have defined their success: staying true to their playing style and starting strong.
East Lansing hosts First Annual Christmas Tree Lighting
The City of East Lansing held its first annual Christmas Tree Lighting at the Ann Street Plaza on Saturday, Nov. 22. The event began at 5 p.m. with a crowd wrapping around the plaza, all lined up for hot cocoa, tea, pony rides, and a Division Street Parking Garage ornament. The tree lighting was hosted by the East Lansing Downtown Management Board (DMB). The event also had several local businesses sponsor it, including Recharged Pilates, Douglas J. Aveda Institute, Financial Technology Inc., and Mac Men Computer and Phone Repair. As an icy evening breeze swept through the crowd, the holiday spirits remained high. Fitting for the weather, characters from Disney’s Frozen, Elsa and Anna, stopped by to take photos and greet the young children in attendance. Families gathered in front of the tree as children ran and played with light-up wands and other trinkets they had received.
