EAST LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - No. 1 Michigan State hockey took down rival No. 10 Michigan, 4-1, at Munn Arena in East Lansing Saturday night. Michigan State’s win ensured the rivals split a home-and-home series this weekend after Michigan won 3-2 in overtime Friday. The teams combined for 21 penalties in a chippy, heated rivalry game.

Michigan is coming off a series split at Notre Dame last week and is 3-5 in its last eight games after posting a 7-1 record in November, including a sweep at Boston University. The Wolverines are led in scoring by freshman forward Michael Hage, who has 11 goals and 13 assists, as one of eight players with double-figure points.

Charlie Stramel was at the podium answering a question during a postgame press conference and couldn’t hold back a big yawn. It was late and the Michigan State forward had reason to be tired after playing 60 minutes of physical hockey in a 4-1 win against rival Michigan on Saturday night.
