It has been an up-then-down season for Michigan State’s women's soccer team. After a blistering start that saw them climb as high as No. 1 in the nation, the team faltered a bit down the stretch with one loss and three ties in their final eight games. The sudden (relative) cold streak resulted in the Lady Spartans dropping to a fourth-place finish in the Big Ten, and then that was followed up with them losing their opening match in the conference tournament, a 2-1 overtime defeat to Rutgers in the quarterfinal round.
Regular season play is now in the rearview mirror, however, and the MSU women’s soccer team has their sights set on the NCAA Tournament now.
