A House Divided

Photograph was taken at Potbelly Sandwich Shop located at 42477 Ford Road, in Canton. 

     When you grow up in the State of Michigan you typically become a fan of either the University of Michigan Wolverines, or the Michigan State University Spartans.  A house divided refers to a home, or a family that includes fans of both teams.  You can usually throw out the team records when interstate rivals come together.  Many fans, and alumni find more satisfaction when the other team loses, then they do when their team wins.  The University of Michigan football team will host Michigan State University on Saturday, November 16th, 2019 (TBA).
     The Mitten State also features several other interstate collegiate rivalries including Central Michigan University vs. Western Michigan University, Grand Valley State University vs. Saginaw Valley State University, and Hillsdale College vs. Northwood University.  New rivalries will develop as several local colleges, and universities continue to expand their athletic programs to include the sport of football.

SVSU 8 - LTU 0

On Friday night, Saginaw Valley State University (in red) defeated Lawrence Tech University (in white) 8-0.

     Both teams played evenly through a scoreless first period on Friday night, but things began to change after the first intermission.  Lawrence Tech has struggled so far this season, and not even a raucous student body section at the Southfield Ice Arena would factor into the one sided affair. Saginaw Valley State scored five unanswered goals in the second period to take control of the game, and the Blue Devils of Lawrence Tech found it difficult to respond.  #18 Guy Soulliere opened up the scoring just two minutes into the second period, and Saginaw Valley State lead 1-0.  #6 Adam Leibinger added a goal about five minutes later, and the route was on. The Saginaw Valley State Cardinals scored three more goals in the third period to pick up the 8-0 shutout victory over Lawrence Tech.  #13 Brandon Pirtle, and #15 Tyler Myers were among several players to score for Saginaw Valley State.
     The Saginaw Valley State University hockey team competes in Division 3 of the ACHA (American Collegiate Hockey Association), and currently sit in the middle of the MCHC (Michigan Collegiate Hockey Conference) standings with 18 points, and a 9-13 overall record.  There are 27 teams competing in the North Conference this season.  Click on the link below for more information about the Saginaw Valley State University hockey team.
     Lawrence Tech University also competes in Division 3 of the ACHA, and are currently placed towards the bottom of the MCHC (Michigan Collegiate Hockey Conference) standings with 5 points, and a 2-16 overall record.  Click on the links below for more information about Lawrence Tech hockey, or the ACHA.  Be sure to check out exclusive photos from Friday nights ACHA showdown.  You can always leave a comment, and you can email the Mitten State Sports Report directly at mittenstatesportsreport@rocketmail.com  Click on past months to check out all of the Mitten State Sports Report's archived material!
