BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — No. 13 national seed Indiana men's soccer (11-4-6, 3-1-4 B1G) will host the Marshall Thundering Herd (11-3-4, 4-1-3 SBC) Sunday (Nov. 27) night in the NCAA Tournament Third Round. Kickoff is set from 6:30 p.m. ET on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium.
Tickets are available to purchase here. IU students that show their Crimson Card may attend the match for free.
Fans can also stream the match via the ESPN+ digital platform.
SETTING THE SCENE
• Indiana is making its eighth consecutive NCAA Tournament Third Round appearance, the longest active streak in NCAA DI men's soccer.
• The match is guaranteed to be IU's final home match of the 2022 season. IU is 8-1-3 at Bill Armstrong Stadium, earning six clean sheets on its home ground.
• Sunday's contest is a rematch of the 2020 NCAA College Cup final. The Thundering Herd denied IU's ninth star with a 98th minute golden goal that clinched their program's first-ever national championship. It was the first-ever meeting between the programs.
• The winner of Sunday's match will advance to play the winner of No. 5-seeded Stanford and No. 12 UNC Greensboro. That corresponding match will be played at 8 p.m. ET, and the winner will host the quarterfinal contest.
• Though un-seeded, Marshall comes in ranked as highly as No. 8 by Top Drawer Soccer. Indiana owns a 5-1-3 season record against ranked opponents.
• First-team All-Big Ten honoree and redshirt senior Ryan Wittenbrink leads IU in goals (9), assists (8) and points (26) and has provided a goal contribution in each of his last six matches played (three goals, three assists), including the game-winning goal against Saint Louis in the NCAA Tournament Second Round.
ABOUT THE THUNDERING HERD
• Marshall comes into the match with a 11-3-4 record and a 4-1-3 mark in Sun Belt Conference play. The Thundering Herd toppled No. 4 national seed Virginia in the second round via penalty kicks.
• The Thundering Herd are led by sixth-year head coach Chris Grassie, who has compiled a 56-28-13 record at Marshall and a 155-48-21 career record over 12 seasons as a head coach.
• Four Marshall student-athletes have tallied double-digit points this season, led by freshman forward Matthew Bell's 24. Bell also leads the team in scoring, with 10 goals. Junior forward Adam Aoumaich owns a team-best nine assists.
SERIES HISTORY
• Indiana and Marshall have met just once: the 2020 NCAA College Cup final. A scoreless tie was broken in the 98th minute when Marshall's Jamil Roberts scored a golden goal to clinch its first NCAA Championship while denying IU's ninth.
• Nine current Hoosiers appeared in that match; Brett Bebej, Herbert Endeley, Maouloune Goumballe, Joey Maher, Daniel Munie, Nyk Sessock all started, and Nate Ward, Ryan Wittenbrink and Ben Yeagley all came off the bench.
