Michigan State women’s basketball blows out Oakland in season opener

Michigan State women’s basketball is now 1-0 to start the season after taking down Oakland on Tuesday night. The Spartans blew out Oakland, 107 to 42, to earn the win at home in the Breslin Center.

It was an egalitarian effort for MSU tonight under second year head coach Robyn Fralick, as four out of five starters finished the game in double-figures. The Spartans were led by transfer forward Grace VanSlooten, who joined the team from Oregon this offseason. VanSlooten scored 15 points to go along with nine rebounds in an impressive debut. Incumbent Spartans Theryn Hallock, Julia Ayrault, and Jocelyn Tate also scored in double figures.

Abbey Kimball and Kennedy Blair also scored ten a piece off the bench.

The Spartans will host Yale on Friday for game two of the season.
