Michigan State Splits Opening Series With New Hampshire After 2-0 Rebound Win

The No. 2 Spartans now turn to a road trip at top-10 Boston University next week.

Overview

Michigan State answered Thursday’s upset with a 2-0 victory Friday, earning an opening-series split and a 1-1-0 start.
Defensemen supplied the offense in the win as captain Matt Basgall scored late in the second period and Patrick Geary added an early third-period insurance goal.
The Spartans controlled play with a 38-13 shots-on-goal edge and limited New Hampshire to five or fewer shots in each period as Trey Augustine posted a shutout, his seventh career clean sheet.
The series opened with a 4-3 loss decided in the final six seconds on a goal by New Hampshire’s Marty Lavins after Michigan State tallied earlier through Anthony Romani and Charlie Stramel.
Next up is a two-game set at No. 3 Boston University on Oct. 17-18, with Friday’s matchup scheduled for national TV on ESPNU.
