Final: ASU 3, MSU 2, Spartans suffer heartbreaking loss on Valentine s Day
Typically they say the game is not over until the final whistle blows, but that was not the case in East Lansing for the Michigan State hockey team as they fell to the Arizona State Sun Devils 3-2 Sunday afternoon in late dramatic fashion.
Things could not have started off much worse for the Spartans, who were playing their first game in two weeks. After winning the opening draw, Arizona State carried the puck into the MSU defensive zone, fired a shot on net and then scored off a rebounded shot by senior forward Dominic Garcia just 13 seconds into the game.
