Men’s soccer moves on to championship game in Big Ten Tournament

The IU men’s soccer team managed to pull out a 1-0 victory over host team Michigan State at the Big Ten Tournament Friday, and will face No. 2-seed Ohio State on Sunday at 2 p.m.\nAfter out-shooting the Spartans 10-3 in the first half, freshman Neil Wilmarth managed to get a head on the ball with about 32 minutes remaining in the game off a cross in the box from senior Charley Traylor. The ball shot into the lower left corner of the goal for the only score of the game. \nThe Spartans also had several opportunities to score, and managed to get the ball into the goal once but the goal was not counted as IU goalkeeper Chay Cain was roughed during the play. \nSunday’s game will be a rematch of last season’s Big Ten Tournament championship game. Last season, the Hoosiers defeated Ohio State 1-0 to claim their 11th Big Ten Championship. At their last regular season meeting, the Hoosiers were forced to end in a 0-0 tie with the Buckeyes.
