BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — No. 3-ranked Indiana men's soccer (15-1-3, 7-1-2 B1G) shut out No. 7 Maryland (12-5-1, 5-4-1 B1G) Wednesday (Nov. 11) night on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium to advance to the program's 24th Big Ten Tournament Championship match.

The No. 1-seeded Hoosiers will host No. 2 seed Washington in the final Sunday (Nov. 15) at 3:30 p.m. ET. Indiana will play for its 13th Big Ten Championship Double and 17th tournament title after having already won the conference regular season title this fall.

Easton Bogard made the difference from a 47th-minute corner kick as the Hoosiers earned their ninth clean sheet of the season. Indiana outshot Maryland 18-8 and put seven shots on frame.

KEY MOMENTS
• 45' – Indiana took control of the game early, leading in shots at the half 7-3. Still, the teams went into the break even.
• 47' – GOAL! The Hoosiers broke through quickly out of the half, winning a corner kick within two minutes. Alex Barger delivered into the middle of the box, where the ball met the head of a Maryland defender and fell into the path of Bogard. Bogard got his knee around it at close range, and the shot deflected of another Terp and into goal. Indiana 1, Maryland 0
• 61' – Nolan Kinsella was denied a goal after a VAR check. Alex Barger delivered a free kick into the box and found the head of Bogard, who flicked it into Kinsella, and Kinsella diverted it into goal. After review, the referee reported that Kinsella had used his hand in the sequence.
• 68' – Indiana kept the pressure on. The Hoosiers saw two shots well-saved in the 67th, and Josh Maher headed just over the bar from another great Barger delivery.
• 72' – Minutes later, Charlie Heuer hit the far post off a counterattack.

NOTABLES
• With its third straight ranked victory and second consecutive top 10 win, Indiana improved to 5-0-1 against Top 25 opponents and 3-0-0 versus top 10 teams.
• Indiana's 15 victories and nine shutouts are the program's best marks in each category since the 2023 NCAA Quarterfinal team.
• Indiana became the second team to shut out Maryland; Northwestern kept a clean sheet against the Terps in a 4-0 win on its home field exactly two months ago on September 11.
• Indiana has won five games by a score of 1-0 and has a 7-1-0 record in games decided by one goal.
• Indiana improved to 10-7-8 in the all-time series with Maryland after two victories this season. Head coach Todd Yeagley drew even with Maryland head coach Sasho Cirovski in their head-to-head matchup, now split at 7-7-6. The Hoosiers boast a 4-1-2 advantage against Maryland in Big Ten Tournament games.
• Bogard scored his ninth goal of the season and has totaled a goal and two assists against Maryland this season. His nine goals have tripled his previous career goalscoring (three goals in first two seasons). The third-year forward eclipsed the 25-career points milestone, now sitting at 26 points from 12 goals and two assists.
• Wednesday's goal marked Bogard third in two matches after scoring his first-career brace in the first 20 minutes of the Big Ten regular season title-clinching win over Michigan State a week ago.
• Bogard's fourth game-winning goal tied Oliver Moller-Jensen for team-best. He has scored the decisive goal in three 1-0 results – against Washington (Sept. 18), at Ohio State (Oct. 20) and Wednesday night.
• Barger has assisted in consecutive matches, improving his career-best total to five.
• Wednesday's match was originally slated for a 6 p.m. ET kickoff, but two reschedulings due to weather pushed the start to 8:15 p.m.
