11/6/2024 2:00:00 PM | Men's Soccer
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Big Ten Co-Champion and No. 6-ranked Indiana men's soccer (10-3-5, 7-1-2 B1G) enters the Big Ten Tournament as the No. 2 seed and will open its title defense in the quarterfinal round against No. 7-seeded Michigan (7-3-6, 2-3-5 B1G) Thursday (Nov. 7) at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois.
Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET. Fans unable to attend can watch the match on the B1G+ digital platform.
KICKING OFF
• Indiana has built a seven-match winning streak and 10-match unbeaten streak (8-0-2) coming into the tournament. IU has scored 32 goals in that stretch – an average of 3.2 goals per game. The Hoosiers have scored multiple goals in each game of the unbeaten run, IU's longest multi-goal stretch since 1997.
• Despite scoring seven goals in its first eight matches, Indiana has eclipsed its production from a year ago with 39 goals through 18 matches – an average of 2.17 goals per game. IU totaled 35 goals in 24 matches last season (1.46 goal per game).
• At the conclusion of regular season play, IU senior forward Tommy Mihalic is the Big Ten's co-leading scorer, recording a career-high 10 goals. Graduate forward Justin Weiss scored six goals in conference matches to lead the Big Ten.
• Indiana is the Big Ten Tournament's winningest program, both by number of wins (47) and number of titles (16). The Hoosiers have a 47-11-13 (.754) record in the conference tournament.
ABOUT THE WOLVERINES
• Michigan finished its regular season unbeaten in three games, which included a 2-0 win over No. 2 Maryland. Junior defender Nolan Miller extended U-M's season with a 90th-minute, game-tying goal in the regular season finale – the draw clinched the No. 7 and final spot in the Big Ten Tournament.
• The Wolverines are led by 13th-year head coach Chaka Daley, who has earned a 102-89-47 record and a 192-200-74 career mark in 25 seasons as a head coach.
• Michigan has scored 22 goals (1.38 average) and conceded 21 (1.31) goals in 16 matches. Veteran defenders Bryce Blevins and Jason Bucknor lead the team in scoring with five goals apiece.
SERIES HISTORY
• Indiana has dominated the all-time series with Michigan, owning a 25-4-5 record against the Wolverines. IU is undefeated in the last four meetings (2-0-2). The Hoosiers won the first nine meetings.
• IU traveled to Ann Arbor on October 15 and beat the No. 18 Wolverines 5-0, marking its largest margin of victory in the series. Four different Hoosiers scored in the contest.
• The teams met in the 2023 Big Ten Tournament Semifinal, a thrilling seven-goal shootout that sent IU to its seventh-straight conference final. Maouloune Goumballe's 87th-minute goal had the final say in Indiana's 4-3 victory.
