"I don't know what it is about Michigan State, but I always feel great every time we play them," Saydjari said after the game. "I have so much faith in our team when we play Michigan State and I don't know if it's because it is a Big Ten match, but something always feels right on those days."
Pioneer graduate Haley Jones made six saves in goal for No. 19 Michigan (7-4, 2-0 Big Ten), improving her personal record to 6-0. She made a key save late in the second half off a Spartan (9-2, 1-1) corner to preserve the win.
The Wolverines host No. 1-ranked Maryland at 1 p.m. Sunday.
