<\/a>-Captain\/President<\/p>\n-4th<\/sup> Season with the Team<\/p>\n -From Milwaukee, WI<\/p>\n -Hospitality Business<\/p>\n -Former Midwest Dodgeball Player of the Week<\/p>\n -2013 All-Star<\/p>\n -2013 All-NCDA First Team<\/p>\n -Average Joes\u2019 Podcast Co-Host<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mike Van Ermen is one of the bigger stars in the league, and the leader of the Spartans. He\u2019s a solid catcher, but a great transition killer and has a tremendous power arm . His play at Nationals 2013 helped garner him All-NCDA honors as a Junior.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ANDY LIEBLICH #20<\/p>\n -3rd<\/sup> Season with the Team<\/p>\n -From Milford, MI<\/p>\n -Computer Science<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Andy is entering his first season in a leadership position, but his fiery play should spark State to victory. He\u2019s the best catcher on the team, and has improved his throw to the point where he\u2019s deadly on his crosses.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n IAN CHILDS #19<\/p>\n -7th<\/sup> Year with the Team<\/p>\n -From East Lansing, MI<\/p>\n -Communications\/Public Relations<\/p>\n -Former NCDA Baller of the Month<\/p>\n -2011 All-Star<\/p>\n -2013 All-NCDA Second Team<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ian has been one of the most important Spartans in the history of the program, and he helped MSU get to the National Title Game last season. He has one of the strongest arms on the team, and is possibly the most dangerous crosser in the league. He\u2019s also a vocal leader, and can cover his teammates extremely well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TIM BURKEY #7<\/p>\n -From Drummond Island, MI<\/p>\n -Zoology<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tim came into his own last season, as he was a crucial part of many of MSU\u2019s victories. He was always a great blocker, but he added in a good counter into his repertoire, making him an offensive threat to go along with his defensive prowess.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NICOLE HALBEISEN #2<\/p>\n -From Lowell, MI<\/p>\n -Applied Engineering<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nicole is another player who stepped their game up last season, and also took a little bit of a leadership role. She\u2019s deadly with her sneak attack throw, is incredibly hard to hit, and is fearless.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ERIC PAUL #9<\/p>\n -From Okemos, MI<\/p>\n -Civil Engineering<\/p>\n -2011, 2012, and 2013 All-Star<\/p>\n -2012 All-NCDA First Team<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Injuries shortened Eric\u2019s season last year, but he\u2019s still one of the best players in MSU history. He\u2019s got an extremely accurate and fast throw, is one of the better catchers in the league, and has some speed to his game. He can be a game changer for the Spartans in 2013-2014.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n JAKE BILLHORN #88<\/p>\n -From Chicago, IL<\/p>\n -Zoology\/Finance<\/p>\n -Vice President<\/p>\n \u00a0Jake has more energy than most of the Spartans do combined, and he is extremely competitive. He\u2019s turning into a good catcher and has made a great impact on the Spartans over his tenure with the team.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n KYLE TOTZKE #43<\/p>\n -From Bridgman, MI<\/p>\n -Horticulture<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kyle has one goal in mind when throwing a dodgeball- headshots. He has a strong arm, and works great as a teammate. He\u2019s also one of the loosest Spartans out there, and can definitely help State out when it comes to getting some wins.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CHARLIE WILSHIRE #3<\/p>\n -From Bloomfield Hills, MI<\/p>\n -Supply Chain Management<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Charlie was one of the heroes of the Nationals 2013 run that the Spartans went on, as he threw ball after ball to eliminate opponents or beat the shot clock. He doesn\u2019t have the strongest arm, but he\u2019s still a lethal player on the court offensively.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ALEX KROHN #15<\/p>\n -From Riverview, MI<\/p>\n -Human Biology<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alex got his first taste of big time dodgeball at the 2013 Michigan Dodgeball Cup, where he played well. He has a good cross, can dodge, and can make timely catches.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n JOHN LUZENSKI #12<\/p>\n -From Milford, MI<\/p>\n -Chemical Engineering<\/p>\n <\/p>\n John is possibly the most clutch player on the Spartans. Time after time he makes a huge catch, a big kill, or a big block. He\u2019s one of the better all-around players on MSU, and he\u2019s a guy that can keep MSU in points.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MIKE VAN ERMEN #6 -Captain\/President -4th Season with the Team -From Milwaukee, WI -Hospitality Business -Former Midwest Dodgeball Player of the Week -2013 All-Star -2013 All-NCDA First Team -Average Joes\u2019 Podcast Co-Host Mike Van Ermen is one of the … Continue reading <\/a>-Assistant Captain<\/p>\n<\/a>-Former Captain<\/p>\n<\/a>-6th<\/sup> Season with the Team<\/p>\n<\/a>-5th<\/sup> Season with the Team<\/p>\n<\/a>-5th<\/sup> Season with the Team<\/p>\n<\/a>-4th<\/sup> Season with the Team<\/p>\n<\/a>-3rd<\/sup> Season with the Team<\/p>\n<\/a>-4th<\/sup> Season with the Team<\/p>\n<\/a>-3rd<\/sup> Season with the Team<\/p>\n<\/a>-3rd<\/sup> Season with the Spartans<\/p>\n
