10/28/2024 3:02:00 PM | Men's Soccer
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — An undefeated October means renewed Big Ten regular season title hopes for No. 19-ranked Indiana men's soccer (8-3-5, 6-1-2 B1G), which will host Northwestern (8-6-1, 2-5-1 B1G) in its conference finale Tuesday (Oct. 29) night on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium.
Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET, and tickets are on sale here. Fans unable to attend can watch the match on the Big Ten Network.
The first 250 fans in attendance will receive a free IU men's soccer eight-star winter beanie.
KICKING OFF
• Indiana has built a five-match winning streak and eight-match unbeaten streak (6-0-2) coming into Tuesday's matchup. The Hoosiers have scored multiple goals in each game of the unbeaten run, IU's such multi-goal stretch since 1997.
• IU can clinch at least a share of the championship with a win and an Ohio State tie or loss.
• Graduate forward Justin Weiss, who transferred to IU after graduating from Northwestern, has scored four goals in three matches. Junior defender Quinton Elliot and senior forward Samuel Sarver have each tallied four G/A in three games.
ABOUT THE WILDCATS
• Despite sitting at No. 10 in the conference table, Northwestern still has a chance to reach the Big Ten Tournament. The Wildcats have totaled seven points with two games left to play.
• The Wildcats are led by fourth-year head coach Russell Payne, who has compiled a 27-28-12 record during his time in Evanston and a 96-113-43 mark over 15 seasons as a head coach.
• Twelve different Wildcats have scored for Northwestern this season and 19 different players have earned a point.
SERIES HISTORY
• Indiana has dominated the all-time series with Northwestern, winning 36 of the 47 matches played. The Hoosiers won the first 20 meetings between 1983-2003.
• IU has won 10 of the last 12 matchups in the series but fell to the Wildcats 1-0 in Evanston a year ago.
• The Hoosiers have suffered just one home defeat against Northwestern, coming in 2004. Since then, Indiana is 9-0-3 at Bill Armstrong Stadium.
