Can't believe we didn't have this thread yet.

But Wisconsin upsets PSU in women's soccer, handing the Nittany Lions their first loss of the season, opening the door for MSU and Nebraska, who both won today, to share the conference title.

MSU going to have to pony up to keep their coach.  He was hired after the team went winless in 2020, and has now won back to back Big Ten titles in 2022 and 2023

With a win tonight against a bad OSU team, MSU nearly locks up a double mens/womens Big Ten championship, but OSU completely dominated the first 20 minutes, and finally pushed one across.  A tie does nothing for MSU, so they are essentially down 2.  OSU, who is in 8th out of 9 Big Ten team, just here to play spoiler, and doing so

Wow, 2-0 OSU.  MSU hasn't lost a game all season

MSU ties it up, just to give up a 3rd goal and lose 3-2.

Shitty way to lose your first game of the season, with a Big Ten title on the line against a bottom feeder

Shitty way to lose your first game of the season, with a Big Ten title on the line against a bottom feeder

And Indiana lost, so a win would have clinched a Big Ten title

Now we need Michigan to beat Northwestern, Wisconsin to beat Penn State, and Rutgers to tie or beat Indiana

That picture makes me feel old.  Coach Walker looked like a kid when I was in school.  I interviewed him a couple times.

The ladies have done all the heavy lifting in the Fall sports so far. 





The soccer match ended in a scoreless draw, and the VB match is going on right now.

The Iowa women’s soccer team pulled off a stunning upset in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament, beating top-seeded No. 12 Michigan State, 2-1, on Sunday in East Lansing, Michigan.

Iowa narrowly qualified for this year’s Big Ten tournament after finishing eighth in the conference. But seeds did not matter come game time, the Hawkeyes adjusting well after a disappointing 3-0 loss to the Spartans on Oct. 22.
