MSU also welcomes its women’s soccer campers back to campus on Sunday afternoon, as the Spartans host Camper Appreciation Day. Any campers wearing their 2022 camp t-shirt will receive complimentary admission to the game. Additionally, the first 100 fans to arrive at DeMartin Stadium will receive an exclusive MSU Soccer bag tag.
