Michigan State splits with Ohio State

By Matt Mackinder/Michigan State Beat Writer

Michigan State took the trip south to Ohio State this past weekend and while the Spartans wound up with a split, it continued to be the Will Yanakeff Show.

And Tim Buttery joined in the fun, too.

Friday night, Buttery scored his first goal of the season and it turned out to be the game-winner in MSU's 2-0 win over the Buckeyes.

Yanakeff pitched his second shutout of the season with a 32-save outing.

Derek Grant added an empty-netter with just over a minute to play.

Saturday night, Dean Chelios and Dustin Gazley had the MSU goals and Yanakeff made 35 saves in a 4-2 loss to OSU.

MSU (12-14-4, 8-12-2 CCHA) hosts Northern Michigan this weekend for two CCHA contests.
