Men's soccer team falls to Buckeyes in penalty kicks, loses Big Ten Championship game

Ohio State won 5-4, earning the automatic NCAA Tournament bid that came with the win.\nIU must now wait for an at-large bid to the tournament. \nDespite several open looks, neither team was able to put the ball in the back of the net during regulation and overtime. This is the second time the Buckeyes and the Hoosiers have drawn 0-0 this season. \nPlease see tomorrow’s IDS for complete coverage of Sunday’s Big Ten Championship game.
