Spartans upset Buckeyes

Michigan State rebounded from its worst loss this season by treating every rebound like a treasure.

The Spartans stunned No. 17 Ohio State 60-53 Sunday and had a 44-35 edge on the boards, including a season-high 22 offensive rebounds -- 15 more than they managed in Friday's loss at home to Minnesota.

"We were disappointed that we didn't compete in the last game," Michigan State coach Suzy Merchant said. "We were like five individuals out there. So we talked about playing as a team and competing as a team.

"Only good things happen when you buy into playing that hard."

Allyssa DeHaan had 18 points and Kalisha Keane 17 to lead the Spartans (9-5, 1-1 Big Ten). The Buckeyes fell to 9-3 overall and 0-1 in the Big Ten.
