An Exciting Event at the Best Price, Free


The crowd was electric. The band blasted the Spartan fight song. The cheerleaders led the crowd. Every Spartan score was greeted with thunderous applause. This was an MSU women’s volleyball game versus number 7 inthe nation, Illinois.



After MSU Men’s basketball thorough drubbing of Texas Southern me and some friends decided to head over and check out the marquee volleyball game. Free to MSU students volleyball was something I had yet to experience in my three years here. I learned something; I should’ve come sooner.

The only volleyball I knew was simple beach volleyball on-campus so excuse my lack of knowledge of the sport. I’ve really never watched any high-level volleyball game but I was immediately enthralled with the fast paced game. The intricate strategy of bringing multiple spikers in different weaves, the need for pinpoint accurate sets, and the toughness to go and dig a spike out of the ground all contributed to an entertaining battle between two elite teams. Of course after a hard fought game, the great Spartans emerged victorious.

For a detailed recap I recommend checking out this link. For a free night at an exciting event I recommend checking out MSU vs Northwestern tomorrow night, 7:00 at the Jenison Field House. I know I will be.
