* MSU's 11 Big Ten victories are fourth most in a single season in Spartan history. MSU finished 13-5 in 1990-91, 12-4 in 1996-97 and 12-6 in 1987-88.

* MSU won its sixth straight Big Ten game, which ties the school record that had been accomplished five previous times.

* MSU now has a 9-2 road record this season. The school record for road victories in a season is 10 set by last year's team (10-4).

* MSU hit a season-high nine 3-point baskets. The previous season high was eight vs. Connecticut.

* Liz Shimek scored 13 points, becoming the 16th MSU player and the fourth this season to reach 1,000 career points. Only two other teams are known to have had four players reach the 1,000-point mark in the same season - Georgia during the 1995-96 season and St. Joseph's last season.

* Shimek also just missed a double-double, grabbing a game-high nine rebounds. She added four assists, two steals and a blocked shot.

She had eight points, eight rebounds and three steals to push her career totals to 1,056 points, 525 rebounds, 505 assists and 307 steals. The other three players to reach the milestones are Ohio State's Yvette Angel, Purdue's Katie Douglass and Wisconsin's Tamara Moore.
