LUBAHN'S THOUGHTS
"After getting our first win of the season, it is really important that we stay hungry heading to Purdue. The Kampen Course is a great test of golf and we are playing against a lot of good programs. We need to carry our momentum with us because I believe we are playing well across the lineup."
THE SPARTANS
James Piot was named the Big Ten Golfer of the Week on Thursday for the second straight week … Piot claimed medalist honors for the third time in his career in leading the Spartans to the team title at the Hoosier Collegiate Invitational … The Spartans win at last week's Hoosier Invite marked the third time in five events this season that they have placed in the top three … MSU has finished in the top five in four of five tournaments this season … Piot leads MSU with a 71.0 average, followed by Andrew Walker at 72.3.
The teams are scheduled to play 36 holes on Saturday and then the final round on Sunday.
