MSU loses in tourney, NCAA bid in jeopardy

November 14, 2005

The MSU men's soccer team wasn't able to defend its Big Ten championship from last season as it lost to Penn State 2-0 in the semifinals of this year's Big Ten Tournament on Friday.

Penn State, which went undefeated in conference play, took the lead midway through the first period, then added another goal in the 89th minute to ice the game.

The Nittany Lions were the eventual tournament champions.

The Spartans (8-6-5) will find out if their season is over or not today when the NCAA Tournament field is selected.
