The Michigan State Spartans (11-8-1) host No. 9/11 Minnesota Golden Gophers (10-8) this weekend as MSU looks to build off of its momentum from the Great Lakes Invitational.
Freshman defenseman David Gucciardi made a splash at the 2021 GLI. He contributed 75 percent of the Spartans’ offense in both games against No. 3 Western Michigan and No. 20 Michigan Tech, including the game-winning goal in overtime against the Huskies. For the effort, he was named the Big Ten’s First Star of the Week.
Thee three goals accounted for Gucciardi’s second, third, and fourth goals of the season.
