With the Big Ten Women's Soccer Tournament Presented by Allstate kicking off next week, each Big Ten squad hopes to build momentum in the final games of the regular season — and two are eyeing the final bid. 

Seeding on the Line 

Seven teams have already clinched bids in the tournament and have one last chance to improve their position in the bracket. Just one point separates No. 18 Purdue (25 points), No. 14 UCLA (25 points), and No. 6 Michigan State (24 points) behind the Buckeyes (30 points) at the top of the standings, making Friday’s contests pivotal for securing favorable first-round matchups and building confidence heading into the postseason.

Meanwhile, Michigan, Iowa, and Minnesota battle to be the last team in. The Wolverines take on rival Ohio State, who has already clinched the regular season championship. The Hawkeyes face Wisconsin in a battle of two teams who have won three consecutive matches. The Gophers travel to Champaign to play Illinois, looking to build off last week’s 4-0 victory against Oregon.
