No. 2 Michigan State hockey continued to extend its lead in the Big Ten with a near sweep of No. 4 Minnesota this past weekend.

Michigan State freshman guard Jase Richardson turned in a game-high eight assists in the No. 7 Spartans' 73-51 vanquishing of Minnesota on Tuesday. The mark was also his new career high in the category.

The Michigan State guard stood flat-footed while holding the follow through of a snapped right wrist as a high-arching 3-pointer dropped through the net. Just 24 seconds later, he knocked down another in front of the Minnesota bench. Next time down the floor, Holloman pulled from the other side of the arc with the same result.
