BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Friday (Oct. 23) night's three concurrent Big Ten men's soccer matches all ended in a draw, meaning Indiana men's soccer (12-1-3, 5-1-2 B1G) remains in control of its destiny concerning the conference regular season title as well Big Ten Tournament seeding following a 0-0 result with Northwestern (5-5-4, 2-3-3 B1G) on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium.
In addition to IU's tie, Michigan State and Washington – its fellow top three teams – played to a 1-1 result. Further down the table, Michigan spoiled Rutgers run of form with three unanswered goals in a 3-3 draw. So, the teams in contention are content leave a handful of drama for the final week-and-a-half of the regular season.
KEY MOMENTS
• 24' – Northwestern's Peter Riesz had the first real chance of the match, his shot from distance banging off the right post.
• 51' – Indiana came out of the half firing. Oliver Moller-Jensen saw a shot from a corner hover over the goal-line, but the Northwestern keeper reacted just in time to keep it from going over. Moments later, he sent a laser bound for goal, but a Northwestern defender was the only one in the way and did enough to deflect the chance.
• 62' – Indiana earned a free kick about 28 yards out, and Nick McHenry's curling attempt forced a diving save at the far post.
• 85' – The Hoosiers kept piling on chances late in the match, none perhaps closer than a Kinsella header off the bar with five minutes to play. Indiana earned, and created chances with, 14 corner kicks, but a stubborn Northwestern defense didn't break on the night.
NOTABLES
• With a crowd of 2,821 Friday night, Indiana eclipsed its previous single-season attendance record. IU men's soccer has welcomed 37,248 fans and counting to Bill Armstrong Stadium, marking its third season attendance record in four years. Indiana has at least one home game remaining to grow the record.
• Friday's result snapped Indiana's 10-match home winning streak to start the season, though the Hoosiers remain unbeaten through 11 matches at the Bill (10-0-1).
• Indiana earned its eighth clean sheet of the season and improved its Big Ten-leading goals against average to 0.50.
• Indiana moved to 37-5-8 in the all-time series with Northwestern, as Friday marked the 50th meeting between the programs.
UP NEXT
Indiana has two games left in the Big Ten regular season title race: away at UCLA next Friday (Oct. 30) and the regular season finale at home against current conference co-leader Michigan State that following Tuesday (Nov. 4).
