COLUMBUS, Ohio — No. 4-ranked Indiana men's soccer (12-1-2, 5-1-1 B1G) captured a Big Ten road victory Tuesday (Oct. 20) night, beating Ohio State (6-5-2, 1-5-1) 1-0 at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

Easton Bogard buried his sixth goal of the season in the 41st minute, the decisive goal in Indiana's clean sheet performance.

With the win, Indiana earned three points in the Big Ten table to move back into a tie for first with 16 total points. Michigan State has the same record in league play and will come to Bloomington on the last night of the regular season, November 4.

KEY MOMENTS
• 19' – Indiana goalkeeper Michal Mroz was called to action early, diving to his left to make a save from an Ohio State corner.
• 41' – GOAL! A great team goal gave Indiana the lead right before the half. Collins Oduro received the ball on the left wing, cut inside a drove along the top of the box, played a 1-2 with Bogard and dished to Kinsella on the right wing. Kinsella took a touch and delivered a cross to Bogard, who headed it down and into the side netting. Indiana 1, Ohio State 0
• 52' – Ohio State was inches away from tying the match right out of the half, as Ryan Hannosh hit the back post with a shot from distance.
• 85' – Collins Oduro collected the ball around midfield, sped past a Buckeye through the Buckeye half and into the box and put an inside-of-the-foot pass to the back post, where Oliver Moller-Jensen was just late to make contact.

NOTABLES
• Indiana captain and defender Alex Barger made his milestone 75th career appearance, which leads all active Hoosiers. Co-captain and fellow defender Josh Maher and forward Stephane Njike each made their 50th career appearance.
• Bogard's goal marked his sixth of the season, doubling his previous career-high from a year ago.
• Tuesday's result marked Indiana's 50th win in the all-time series with Ohio State (50-6-5), its highest win total against any program. IU is unbeaten in its last four meetings (3-0-1) with OSU, though the win marked its first in Columbus since 2018.
• Indiana earned its sixth clean sheet of the season, improving its Big Ten-leading season goals against average to 0.53.
