• Senior forward and reigning Big Ten Player of the Week Herbert Endeley has tallied six goal contributions (two goals, four assists) in Indiana's last six matches.
• A win for IU Sunday would be No. 800 in the program's illustrious history.
ABOUT THE SCARLET KNIGHTS
• Rutgers comes into the match with a 5-2-4 record and sits third in the Big Ten table with seven points (2-1-1). Its last result was a 3-2 defeat to Maryland on Tuesday.
• The Scarlet Knights are led by fourth-year head coach Jim McElderry. McElderry has compiled a 25-20-10 record at Rutgers and a 152-145-57 career record in 19 seasons as a head coach.

• IU and Rutgers met twice during the 2021 campaign, splitting the season series, 1-1. In September, IU fell 2-1 to the Scarlet Knights during an early season slump. Daniel Munie scored the opener, in the 22nd minute, but Rutgers countered with two goals in the second half.
