ROSEMONT, Ill. – With the conclusion of today’s conference matches, the field is set for the 2022 Big Ten Men’s Soccer Tournament. The eight-team, single-elimination tournament will run Friday, Nov. 4, through Sunday, Nov. 13, at campus sites.
The Maryland Terrapins secured their third Big Ten Conference Championship with a 1-1 draw on Sunday at Indiana, as Stefan Copetti’s 87th minute marker secured the top seed in the tournament.
Maryland (4-0-4 Big Ten) will welcome No. 8 seed Northwestern (1-5-2) to College Park, Maryland, in the tournament’s first quarterfinal, while fourth-seeded Indiana (3-1-4) will host No. 5 seed Penn State (3-2-3) in the second of Friday’s four quarterfinal fixtures.
