The Wisconsin men's soccer team (11-3-3 overall, 4-2-2 Big Ten) will head to Westfield, Indiana this Friday to square off against Big Ten powerhouse Indiana (11-1-6, 3-0-5). The first time these two teams went head-to-head it was at the McClimon Soccer Complex on the Badgers' home turf.

8. Wisconsin is outshooting opponents 210-175 and 87-68 in shots on goal.
9. The Badgers clinched their chance to host with an exciting 2-1 victory over the Buckeyes. Wisconsin claimed its first 10-win season since 2013 with the recent victory against the Buckeyes.
