East Lansing, Mich. -- Juniors Isaac Howard (Hudson, Wis.) and Daniel Russell (Traverse City, Mich.) have been named the Big Ten First and Second Stars of the Week.

Howard and Russell each had a pair of multiple-point games as No. 4 Michigan State began its 2024-25 season with a road sweep at Lake Superior State (2-1 (OT), 5-1). Howard scored three goals and had a pair of assists for a five-point weekend and first star honors. Howard recorded his first ever collegiate multiple-goal game and his first back-to-back multiple point games of his career as well.

Russell had a goal and an assist in each game, and both of his goals stood as the game-winners. He had two game-winners last season for the Spartans as well.

Michigan State begins the home portion of its slate this Friday and Saturday when No. 2 Boston College comes to town for a two-game series.
