Penn State @ Michigan State

Penn State had an opportunity to prove that they are for real and knock MSU out of the conference race this weekend. Jake Hildebrand (G) and MSU had other plans. Hildebrand posted a 28 save shutout on Friday; a 3-0 win for the Spartans. On Saturday, Mackenzie MacEachern’s hat trick lead the Spartans to a 3-2 victory. Penn State scored a goal with their goalie pulled to cut the lead to 1 late, but couldn’t net the equalizer. Penn State came out firing on Saturday but Hildebrand may have been more impressive in the finale notching 40 saves on 42 shots. Michigan State’s sweep gives them 8 points out of 12 against Penn State (3 less than last year).
