BLOOMINGTON — Appearing in its 27th Big Ten Tournament Semifinal, No. 1-seeded Indiana men's soccer will welcome No. 5-seeded Michigan to Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium Wednesday (Nov. 7) night.

The victor will play the winner of No. 2-seeded Penn State and No. 6-seeded Ohio State in the Big Ten Tournament Final on Sunday.
Admission is free for Indiana University students, faculty and staff that present a valid Crimson Card.
KICKING OFF
• Indiana is the Big Ten Tournament's winningest program, both by wins (45) and number of titles (15). The Hoosiers have a 45-11-13 (.744) record in the conference tournament.
• A win would mark IU's seventh consecutive trip to the Big Ten final and No. 23 overall.
• Indiana has won seven of its last eight, averaging two goals per game in that span.
• Senior defender and captain Joey Maher was selected to the College Soccer News Team of the Week on Monday after helping the Hoosiers to a 2-1 quarterfinal victory over Wisconsin, converting a penalty and leading the back-line.
• The Hoosiers are 8-1-2 at home this season, posting four clean sheets while conceding four goals in 11 matches (0.36 goals against average).
ABOUT THE WOLVERINES
• Michigan owns a 5-5-7 record, was 2-1-5 in the Big Ten and has a 1-4-3 mark in road matches.
• The Wolverines are led by 12th-year head coach Chaka Daley, who owns a 95-85-41 record during his time in Ann Arbor and a 90-111-27 mark over 24 seasons as a head coach.
• Freshman forward Alex Waggoner leads the Wolverines in scoring with six goals. Senior midfielder Bryce Blevins has a team-high three assists as well as four goals.
SERIES HISTORY
