• IU is 3-3-1 against ranked opponents this season.
• Redshirt senior Ryan Wittenbrink has scored go-ahead goals in back-to-back matches and has tallied three goal contributions in his last three games played (two goals, one assist).

ABOUT THE TERRAPINS
• Maryland comes into the match with a 10-2-5 record and a 4-0-4 mark in Big Ten Conference play. Its last result was a 1-0 win over Northwestern in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal.• The Terrapins are led by 30th-year head coach Sasho Cirovski, who has compiled a 424-162-64 record at Maryland and a 450-175-71 career record over 32 seasons as a head coach.
• Six Terps have tallied at least 10 points this season, led by senior midfielder Malcolm Johnston's 15. Johnston is also tied for the team-high in goals with junior forward Stefan Copetti, with each player tallying five scores.

SERIES HISTORY

• Wednesday will mark the fifth Big Ten Tournament meeting between the Hoosiers and Terps, with IU advancing in three of those instances.
• IU and Maryland have met in the final match of the regular season each of the last three campaigns, going 1-1-1 in those matchups. This season, IU led 1-0 from a 25th minute goal and
held the Terrapins scoreless into the 87th minute before they equalized. In that moment, the Hoosiers flipped from the Big Ten Co-Champions to the No. 4 seed in the tournament as the
match ended in a 1-1 draw.

I'm going to watch the soccer game.  I'm excited!  Go Hoosiers!

A bye and top 16 is in play but only if IU is victorious next two games and wins conference tourney (I don't think tying and advancing in PK's will be enough in either game). The RPI is 23 and two road wins over Maryland and either OSU or Rutgers will be enough to get that number into the top 16 as needed.

Rutgers has taken a 1-0 lead over O$U with 20 min. left in the first half. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,956]

Rutgers maintains a 1-0 lead over O$U at the break.  Physical match and tempers are short.  Each team with a player assessed a yellow card.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,956]

O$U ties it up 6 min. into the 2nd half.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,956]

Rutgers takes a 2-1 lead.

#2 seed Rutgers defeats #3 seed Ohio State 2-1.

IU match is underway.  It's 46 degrees at College Park with no wind or rain.

[Hovadipo 52,939]

That’s a horrific no-call. I don’t care that it’s 10 minutes into the game.

Joey Maher off an assist from Jack Wagoner and we have a 2-0 lead.

[Banksyrules 4,231]

Could easily be 4-0

[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,956]

Strong first half for our Hoosiers.  We had 5 shots, 4 of which were on goal and 5 corners.  Defensively we limited MD to 2 shots, neither on goal and no corners.

 

[LIHoosier 24,997]

I missed the goals and went back to watch. Before the goals were scored, were all the MD fans yelling out their IQ's???

YESSS AND YESS AND YESSS

[Dave from Dayton 2,581]

Watched the entire first half.  Maryland started with crisp passes but IU soon took command.  IU's offense is sweet.  Maryland tries long shot setups but they don't work with IU's defense.  It has been really interesting considering Maryland is the one seed and at home.
