EVANSTON, Ill. ––– Indiana ended its time at the 2025 Big Ten Championships with five guaranteed NCAA qualifiers on Sunday afternoon at Welsh-Ryan Arena.

Jacob Moran (125), Angelo Rini (133) and DJ Washington (184) all had previously punched their ticket yesterday with Gabe Sollars (197) and Jacob Bullock (285) clinching theirs today.

Sollars and Bullock each took 9^th place in the extra brackets to determine NCAA qualification. Sollars defeated Rutgers' No. 13 PJ Casale by decision, 6-0, and Jacob Bullock topped No. 14 Gannon Rosenfeld of Wisconsin by decision, 9-5, to claim their spots at Philadelphia.

For Moran and Sollars, it was their first NCAA qualification of their career. Bullock and Rini each earned their second career trip to NCAAs, both competed at the national tournament in 2023. This was Rini's first NCAA bid as a Hoosier after previously competing for Columbia.

In addition to the five NCAA qualifications, Moran, Rini, Washington and Henry Porter each made their way onto the podium.

Moran (125) took fifth place, Rini (133) and Washington (184) got seventh and Porter (141) got eighth place.

The four placers marked back-to-back seasons with four Hoosiers on the podium, matching the best in a season under coach Angel Escobedo.

The Hoosiers finished with 33.0 points at Big Tens for the second consecutive year. The 33.0 points was good for 11^th place at the Championships, the best team finish since 2017.

Prior to competing at the NCAAs, Indiana will wait to see if they land any at-large selections for the championships. The full list of qualifiers for the tournament will be announced on Tuesday.
