LOS ANGELES — Indiana men's soccer (13-1-3, 6-1-2 B1G) remains tied atop the Big Ten Conference table going into Wednesday's final match after Oliver Moller-Jensen led the Hoosiers to a 3-1 win at No. 17 UCLA Friday (Oct. 30) night.

Moller-Jensen took part in all three Hoosier goals, assisting Charlie Heuer's opener before bagging his fourth brace of the season. The third-year forward put the match away with a long-distance chip from nearer to midfield than goal.

So, the Hoosiers sit in the driver's seat ahead of Big Ten decision day. With 20 points, Indiana sits tied for first with Washington – a team it beat earlier in the slate. A win guarantees at least a share of its 20th Big Ten regular season championship as well as the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament, though a myriad scenarios remain open on the way to another conference title.

IU will host Michigan State – currently three points short of the Hoosiers – in Wednesday's ultimate match on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET, and fans can purchase tickets here.

KEY MOMENTS
• 17' – GOAL! The opening goal sequence began with IU defender Nick McHenry running down a Bruin at midfield and dispossessing him. The ball came to Wes Carnevale, who passed to Moller-Jensen on the right wing. Moller-Jensen dribbled into the box, backed down a defender and passed across the six-yard box to Heuer, who slid in front of his marker and put it in. Indiana 1, UCLA 0
• 32' – GOAL! As he attempted to score a rebounded shot, Moller-Jensen was pushed from behind in the box and won a penalty kick. Moller-Jensen stepped to the spot, sent the keeper the wrong way and finished into the right side of the goal to double IU's lead. Indiana 2, UCLA 0
• 34' – GOAL! UCLA responded minutes later from a free throw, as the ball came to Adrian Aguilar in the box. The Bruin midfielder wriggled in the box and fired a left-footed finish through the Hoosier defense. Indiana 2, UCLA 1
• 63' – Indiana goalkeeper Michal Mroz added to his catalogue of great saves in preserving the one-goal lead. Josh Maher ended up on the floor from a 50-50 challenge, giving the UCLA forward a one-on-one chance with Mroz. Mroz got off his line well and made a sliding clearance as the Bruin took his shot.
• 72' – GOAL! Off a UCLA sub and throw-in, Moller-Jensen quickly dispossessed the Bruins in their own half. Moller-Jensen tried to play Easton Bogard ahead of him, but the ball went through as he kept running. So, Moller-Jensen played himself through. With the keeper way off his line, the Hoosier forward fired a long chip from the right side of the field, and the ball sailed over the keeper and tucked into the far side of goal. Indiana 3, UCLA 1
