Indiana Welcomes Buckeyes to Bill Armstrong

BLOOMINGTON — Coming off back-to-back victories, Indiana men's soccer (5-3-4, 1-1-2 B1G) will look to keep its momentum going on Sunday (Oct. 15), hosting Ohio State (3-4-5, 1-2-1 B1G) in Big Ten Conference play on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

Fans can stream the match on the Big Ten Plus digital platform. Kickoff is set for noon ET.

Sunday features a double dose of soccer as the Indiana women's team will face Michigan at 3 p.m. ET. Both programs will also be hosting "Bark at The Bill," allowing fans to enjoy the match with their dogs.
