Michigan State women's basketball is moving on in the NCAA Tournament.
The Spartans made easy work of No. 10 seed Harvard in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday afternoon. Michigan State won by the final score of 64-50 to advance to the second round of the big dance.
Michigan State led the entire way but never really pulled away until midway through the third quarter. The Spartans carried a 24-19 lead into halftime, but pushed that to a double-digit lead to end the third quarter.
Michigan State was led in scoring by Grace VanSlooten, who finished the game with 17 points and 10 rebounds. Jocelyn Tate (13 points) and Theryn Hallock (10 points) also reached double-digits in scoring for the Spartans in the win.
This is the first NCAA Tournament win for Michigan State since 2019. Michigan State will now face No. 2 seed North Carolina State on Monday for the program's first trip to the Sweet 16 since 2009.
