• The Hoosiers have won a conference-leading 17 regular season Big Ten championships.
• Indiana has won the last five trophies handed out by the Big Ten (3 regular season, 2 tournament), meaning 25-of-30 (83.3%) of the roster has never lost a B1G trophy during their collegiate career.
NEWS AND NOTES

• In the program's last 44 Big Ten regular season matches Indiana holds a record of 33-2-9.
• Redshirt senior defender Spencer Glass suffered a season-ending injury (tibia) against No. 11 Michigan.

• Redshirt sophomore forward Ryan Wittenbrink earned his first-career conference accolade when he was named Big Ten Co-Offensive Player of the Week after scoring the golden goal against the Wolverines on March 27.
LAST TIME OUT
• Indiana's last match, scheduled for April 4 against Maryland, was canceled on the recommendation of its medical staff, Maryland made the decision to not play the game due to lack of healthy players available to compete, unrelated to COVID-19 positives.
• The decision was supported by Indiana and the Big Ten Conference.
• Indiana took down No. 11 Michigan the last time the team took the pitch (March 27) behind a golden goal from redshirt sophomore forward Ryan Wittenbrink.
SCOUTING THE WILDCATS
• The Northwestern Wildcats wrapped up the season with the eighth seed and a record of 2-7-1 to earn a first round date with the Hoosiers.
• Sophomore forward Ugo Achara Jr. second in the Big Ten Conference in goals scored (5), game-winning goals (2), and total points (11). He leads the Wildcats in shots (20) and shots on goal (9).
