Indiana Soccer Claims Milestone Big Ten Title
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — No. 4-ranked Indiana men's soccer (14-1-3, 7-1-2 B1G) defeated No. 9 Michigan State (10-4-3, 5-3-2 B1G) 3-2 on Wednesday (Nov. 4) night to clinch the 2026 Big Ten regular season championship. The IU soccer program has won 20 Big Ten regular season titles – 14 more than any other program – and 36 total conference championships.
Third-year players Easton Bogard (two goals) and Charlie Heuer (one goal, two assists) gave career-best performances to lead Indiana offensively. Michal Mroz made four saves – two especially difficult stops – to keep MSU's high-powered attack in check.
Washington, tied on points coming into the night, fell in its finale at UCLA, meaning that Indiana won the title outright. So, IU also earned the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament and will receive a bye before playing the winner of No. 4 seed Michigan State and No. 5 seed Maryland next Wednesday (Nov. 11) in the semifinal round. Indiana will host that quarterfinal match on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium Sunday (Nov. 8) and retain hosting priority throughout the conference tournament.
Indiana completed the conference regular season with 23 points, seven victories, four ranked victories, five clean sheets, 15 goals and seven goals allowed.
Head coach Todd Yeagley has led the IU program to seven Big Ten regular season titles – second only to his father, Jerry Yeagley (10) – and 12 total conference championships. In Big Ten play, the younger Yeagley is the winningest head coach all-time, expanding his record to 83 wins.
"We love these moments," Yeagley said. "They're hard, they're not easy. We've won a lot of them, but every one is special. I'm as excited today as I was playing in my first in 1991 […] They don't get old. You just want more."
KEY MOMENTS
• 22' – As Indiana piled on chances in the early going, Wes Carnevale struck the post with a right-footed shot as he beat both the keeper and an MSU defender to a loose ball in the box.
• 28' – GOAL! Indiana found its breakthrough moment as Heuer played Bogard through on the left side of the box. Bogard cut to his right foot and passed to the back post, past a defender and the keeper. Indiana 1, Michigan State 0
• 31' – GOAL! Heuer and Bogard connected again as the former forced a save with a shot from distance, and the latter clean it up on the rebound. Indiana 2, Michigan State 0
• 47' – GOAL! On the counter, Adu-Gyamfi slipped a pass through two defenders to Heuer at the top of the box. Heuer took a touch and powered a shot through the keeper. Indiana 2, Michigan State 1
• 49' – GOAL! Michigan State's Leo Conneh beat his marker to the end-line and crossed into the box. Andrew Darakdjian met it with his head and directed it into goal. Indiana 3, Michigan State 1
• 55' – GOAL! Mroz made the initial save on a Darakdjian shot, but the rebound fell to Richie Ludwig at the back post, and the Spartans made it a one-goal game once again. Indiana 3, Michigan State 2
• 70' – Mroz made a pair of diving saves in the 62nd and 70th minutes, as Indiana clung to its one-goal advantage in the late stages.
• 73' – From a counterattack, Oliver Moller-Jensen somehow got a shot off with four defenders closing in on him at the top of the box. And it was a quality attempt, but his shot dipped too late and clanged off the top corner of the post.
NOTABLES
• Indiana held Big Ten opponents to seven goals, marking the conference's best defensive record of the 11-team era (since 2024).
• Indiana improved to 4-0-1 against ranked opponents with wins against No. 16 Washington, No. 4 Maryland, at No. 17 UCLA, against No. 9 Michigan State and a draw at No. 12 Wisconsin.
• With 3,178 fans in attendance Wednesday night, Indiana improved its single-season record attendance to 40,426 and eclipsed 40,000 fans for the first time in program history. Indiana's previous single-season standard of 36,735 from last season was set in the same amount of matches (12).
• Indiana improved to 11-0-1 at home this season. The Hoosiers have outscored opponents 31-7 on their home patch.
• Bogard scored his first-career brace and improved his season goal total to eight while reaching double-digit career scoring with his 10th and 11th goals.
• Heuer surpassed the 25-career points milestone with four on the night, contributing to all three goals and now sits at 27 career points. His three goal contributions marked a career high.
• Adu-Gyamfi's assist to the winning marked the first of his career. He now has one goal and one assist to mark his "freshman" season.
• Indiana improved to 46-10-5 in the all-time series against Michigan State and has not lost at home to the Spartans since 2014 (5-0-2 since).
UP NEXT
The No. 1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament, Indiana will await the winner of No. 4 Michigan State and No. 5 Maryland in the semifinal round of the conference tournament next Wednesday (Nov. 11). The Hoosiers will host on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium throughout the Big Ten tourney.
