EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Lexi Gussert was on a mission from the moment she woke up, focusing on helping Michigan State get revenge.
Gussert scored 11 of her 14 points in the first half to help the Spartans build a double-digit lead and they held on to beat No. 21 Michigan 66-61 on Sunday.
The last time they played, the Wolverines won 74-48.
"That was the first thing I thought about when I woke up," Gussert said.
The Spartans (15-11, 5-8 Big Ten) had lost six straight, reeling without one of their best players and a key reserve.
