 a few backflips
 </a>.   <h2>‘Cats stun No. 2 Terps </h2>Behind goals from four different players, Northwestern knocked off No. 2 Maryland 4-0 to earn the highest-ranked win of head coach Russell Payne’s tenure and the program’s first top-five victory in nearly 10 years. "That’s one of the best teams in the country we just beat, and we showed ourselves that when we play to our standards, we’re capable of anything,” said Payne after the game. Peter Riesz opened the scoring in the 14th minute for Northwestern and Italo Addimandi tacked on another before halftime, while the Wildcat defense held the Terrapins without a shot in the first half. That changed in the second half with Maryland firing 13 shots, but it was the ‘Cats’ night. Andrew Millar and Ethan Nakolo added two more tallies to put the match out of reach. <a href="https://nusports.com/news/2026/09/11/cats-stun-no-2-maryland-in-big-ten-opener-4-0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">

 </a>. <h2>Scarlet Knights take down No. 11 Bruins </h2>On Friday night, Rutgers notched its first ranked win since 2024 with a 3-1 defeat of No. 11 UCLA. The Bruins appeared to take control early when Zachary Neuls scored in the fourth minute, but the Scarlet Knights answered back 10 minutes later with Nick Collins’ equalizer. The 1-1 score lasted into the second half until <a href="https://x.com/B1GSoccer/status/2098568694506877127" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">

 Aaron Hurge put Ohio State ahead
 </a> with what seemed like the winning goal with just over four minutes to play. But Wisconsin had other plans. With eight seconds left to play, Matthew Zachemski (also number eight) <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DdK7DWvySBr/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">

The Spartans are looking to bounce back from a loss for the first time this year, after falling 3-1 to Kansas City on Friday. Meanwhile, Rutgers will host No. 16 Princeton on Tuesday evening (7 p.m. ET on B1G+).

Conference Chaos

<div class="payload-richtext">Big Ten action is officially here, with six matches on Friday kicking off an opening weekend that marks the first step in the Big Ten title race. From the battles of the undefeated to the defending NCAA champions bouncing back, there is plenty to watch with conference play rolling in. Here are Andrew McDevitt’s top storylines. <h2>1. Which Teams Will Stay Undefeated? </h2>Six programs enter conference play without a loss, all ranked in the upper half of the top 25: No. 2 Maryland, No. 3 Ohio State, No. 5 Indiana, No. 8 Wisconsin, No. 10 Michigan State, and No. 11 UCLA. Now, come conference play, which teams will keep rolling? The No. 8 Badgers face immediate tests with four consecutive matches against top-10 opponents, beginning with hosting No. 3 Ohio State in Madison on Friday. Also on September 11, No. 11 UCLA faces Rutgers in Piscataway, while both No. 2 Maryland and No. 5 Indiana go on the road for matchups against Northwestern and Michigan, respectively. With every point crucial in securing a Big Ten Tournament bid, we’ll see which rosters keep rolling through the first conference weekend.<h2>2. Washington’s Title Defense  </h2>Reigning national champion Washington holds a 3-2-1 mark entering conference play, but the Huskies are no strangers to early-season resets; in 2025, Washington started 2-2-2 before finishing the season at 16-6-2.  The preseason No. 1 team enters Big Ten play on Friday night in Seattle against Penn State. Junior midfielder Zach Ramsey leads the nation with nine goals (and he's only played five of the team’s six matches!), giving head coach Jamie Clark the offensive engine needed to guide Washington into national championship contention.<h2>3. MAC Hermann Trophy Contenders  </h2>Two years after Ohio State’s Michael Adedokun captured the MAC Hermann Trophy, the Big Ten once again boasts top individual talent. Standouts on the national radar include Maryland goalkeeper Laurin Mack — who leads the conference with 18 saves — Indiana forward Collins Oduro, UCLA midfielder Jaime Amaro, and Michigan defender Matthew Fisher. Along with those faces, there are names who have broken onto the scene already, like Washington’s Ramsey or Ohio State forward Isaiah Chisolm, who has seven goals in his first year in Columbus (second nationally). With so much individual talent, the MAC Hermann Trophy could end up in Big Ten country once again. <h2>4. UCLA Defends Conference Tournament Crown  </h2>After claiming the Big Ten Tournament title as a No. 4 seed last season, No. 11 UCLA enters conference play at 3-0-2. Led by junior defender Shakir Nixon’s team-high three goals, the Bruins face Rutgers and Michigan to open conference play before a pivotal clash with Maryland in College Park. The UCLA offense will look to keep clicking after scoring 10 goals in five matches and 2+ in three straight games. With momentum building on both ends of the pitch, the Bruins look well-positioned to defend their tournament championship. <h2>5. Pursuit of Back-to-Back National Titles  </h2>With so many national contenders, will the NCAA Champion be from the Big Ten once again? The conference hasn't crowned back-to-back national champions since Indiana in 2003–04, but it has the firepower in 2026 to change that. The Terps, Buckeyes, Hoosiers, Badgers, Spartans and Bruins lead a stacked conference with a grueling slate that will forge whichever champion emerges into a battle-tested favorite for the College Cup. Ready for kickoff?

Maryland, Ohio State, and Wisconsin Claim Men’s Soccer Weekly Awards

<div class="payload-richtext">In front of Ludwig Field’s largest crowd since 2017, No. 2 Maryland claimed its highest-ranked win in eight years, defeating No. 5 Georgetown 3-2. The Hoyas struck first in the 16th minute of the DMV rivalry clash, but Albi Ndrenika <a href="https://x.com/BigTenNetwork/status/2097107275781382516?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2097107275781382516%7Ctwgr%5E78bb2d68cfb53373729bfaa38193d69370b51293%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fumterps.com%2Fnews%2F2026%2F9%2F7%2Fmens-soccer-msoc-vs-georgetown-recap" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
 curled in a nasty shot from beyond the 18
 </a> just three minutes later to knot it at one. The Terps’ top goal scorers took over from there, with freshman Rodrigo Neri netting the go-ahead goal (27’) before Said El Eyssami buried the dagger (81’). <a href="https://umterps.com/news/2026/9/7/mens-soccer-msoc-vs-georgetown-recap" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">

 </a>. The Terps now enter Big Ten play 5-0 for the first time since 2011 with two top-10 wins under their belt. With Ohio State (No. 4), Indiana (No. 6), and Michigan State (No. 8) ranked among the best in the country, Maryland will need a few more to claim a Big Ten title. But if Monday night is any indicator, the Terps have the tools they need to contend both in the conference and on the national stage. Conference play kicks off this weekend, and we’ll have all the previews for you on Friday. <a href="https://bigten.org/msoc/schedule/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">

Terps Claim East Coast Rivalry Clash, Conference Play Next

<div class="payload-richtext">The men’s soccer slate continues to ramp up this weekend, with plenty of notable action across the conference. <h2>Prime-Time Battle: Undefeated Terrapins, Hoyas Meet in College Park </h2>No. 2 Maryland, the highest-ranked team in the Big Ten, welcomes No. 5 Georgetown to College Park looking for its second top-10 win of the season. Undefeated so far, the Terps aim to close out their early non-conference slate with another resume-building victory before heading into Big Ten play. The Terrapins have allowed just three goals behind reigning Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year Laurin Mack. But they now face a Hoyas offense led by unanimous All-Big East First Team selection Mitchell Baker, a forward who has scored three times already this season. On the other side, Said El Eyssami (two goals) and the Maryland offense will look to break a Georgetown defense that has given up just two goals in four games. <h2>Across the conference, there were notable moments this week: </h2><ul style="text-align: left;" class="list-bullet"><li

The seesaw affair saw Washington take the early lead, followed by two straight Beaver goals before the Huskies tied it back up on Egor Akulov’s second goal of the night.

Maryland men's soccer celebrates a game-winning goal

Men’s Soccer Weekend Recap

<div class="payload-richtext">The men's soccer squads have settled early in the season, and we're already seeing some textbook performances, high-stakes rivalries, and highlight-reel goals on the pitch.<h2>Offensive power pushes Washington to top-three win </h2>Last night’s performance against No. 3 Portland embodied the Huskies’ “early and often” offensive approach, as No. 11 Washington led the number three team in the nation 3-0 just 15 minutes into the contest. The Purple and Gold went on to win 4-2 to claim the pivotal Pacific Northwest victory. Since dropping their home opener, the Huskies have stormed back to notch eight goals in two games. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DcklWkbjv9w/?img_index=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">

 </a>. <h3>Contentious postseason rematch next </h3>Now, the Huskies head to Corvallis for a border-state battle against former conference foe No. 25 Oregon State. The Beavers were Washington’s first-round obstacle during the 2025 NCAA Championship run. The Huskies finished on top of a <a href="https://gohuskies.com/news/2025/11/20/mens-soccer-aman-stuns-oregon-state-in-double-ot-huskies-win-five-goal-thriller" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
 double overtime, five-goal thriller
 </a> to advance, avenging their early-season loss to Oregon State. Returning seniors Harrison Bertos and Connor Lofy both scored in the contest, with Lofy’s header tying the match in the 85th minute.  We’ll see who plays the hero in 2026. Tune in for a potential classic on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on YouTube. <h2>Maryland hosts top-10 clash</h2>After starting the season strong with wins over Pitt and New Haven, No. 4 Maryland will take on No. 9 High Point (also 2-0) at Ludwig Field. Maryland's offensive arsenal runs deep; the one-two punch of Said El Eyssami and Henry Bernstein was lethal in the Terps opener (2 goals and 2 assists, respectively), while three different players scored in their second match. With a balanced attack paired with reigning Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year Laurin Mack, Maryland is poised to make a statement early in 2026. <a href="https://umterps.com/news/2026/8/26/mens-soccer-no-4-maryland-welcomes-no-9-high-point-to-ludwig-field-for-top-10-matchup" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">

Hat Tricks, Shutouts, and Road Battles: the Men's Soccer Weekend Update

<div class="payload-richtext">College men's soccer kicks off its 2026 campaign with the Big Ten sitting firmly at the epicenter of the national title picture. UCLA’s stunner on the East Coast leads a talent-rich 11-team field heading into opening weekend. From cross-country non-conference tests to intense regional opening-day showcases, the Big Ten tests its mettle immediately on the national stage. With returning All-Big Ten performers and a deep collection of elite transfer talent taking the pitch, the 2026 season launches with competitive balance — setting the stage for a thrilling fight for conference supremacy from day one. Here’s everything you need to know with Big Ten men’s soccer officially underway. <h2>UCLA Pulls off the Road Upset</h2>The action officially kicked off on Thursday, August 20, headlined by the UCLA Bruins, who opened with a cross-country win over No. 11 Virginia. UCLA grabbed a 1-0 lead in the contest thanks to a header from junior Zach Neuls. The Cavaliers evened the match in the second half, but the tie didn’t last long. Newcomer Logan Hall came off the bench for the Bruins and netted the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DcSOF8mx28r/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">

Now, entering the 2026 season, Washington is still the team to beat, coming in at No. 1 in <a href="https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">

Not too far behind them is Maryland — who lost to Washington in the Elite Eight in 2025 — coming in at No. 7, while Indiana comes in at No. 22; Michigan also received votes. The conference also unveiled its 2026 Big Ten Players to Watch List, selected by the head coaches, headlined by six returning First-Team All-Big Ten selections from a season ago. That group is anchored by three stars from the reigning national champions — midfielders Alex Hall and Zach Ramsey alongside defender Harrison Bertos — as well as Maryland junior Laurin Mack, the reigning Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year. Also highlighting the list is Michigan State midfielder Peter Soudan, who returns following a standout 2025 Big Ten Freshman of the Year campaign. Along with the national poll, the Big Ten released <a href="https://bigten.org/msoc/article/60237/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">

Big Ten Recognizes 2025-26 Distinguished Scholar Award Recipients 

<div class="payload-richtext">PORTLAND, Ore. - As the sun set over the rolling hills of Cooper Mountain Vineyards on Saturday evening, “Big Life Series: Pacific Northwest” concluded its immersive educational experience where student-athletes from all 18 Big Ten institutions learned firsthand about the rich culture and history of the Pacific Northwest.   Over the course of less than 48 hours, over 175 student-athletes and administrators engaged in programming that included visits to Multnomah Falls, the Oregon Historical Society, the Grande Ronde Reservation, and Cooper Mountain Vineyards. The event brought together participants from all 18 Big Ten institutions, creating opportunities for learning, dialogue, and relationship-building among student-athletes from across the conference.    “Big Life Series: Pacific Northwest was a remarkable experience that allowed attendees to better understand and interact with the history, culture, landscape, and people that give the Pacific Northwest its distinct identity,” said Big Ten Chief Operating Officer Kerry Kenny. “The unique opportunity to connect student-athletes from across the country to an immersive experience outside of their traditional element is what distinguishes the Big Ten in preparing these young men and women for life after campus.”    At the Oregon Historical Society on Saturday morning, student-athletes learned about how Oregon became the state it is today, including the often-untold Black, Native American, and Japanese history that has shaped the state. Participants also toured the Yasui Family exhibit, learning about the challenges Japanese Americans faced during World War II and the advocacy efforts that helped advance civil rights in the decades that followed.    The quote on the back of the Big Life Series: Pacific Northwest T-shirt: “What is done to the least of us can be done to all of us” was from Presidential Medal of Freedom winner Minori Yasui.    “I found his bravery in speaking out about these issues incredible,” said Indiana women’s track & field sprinter Kristina Vincic. “Having a voice isn’t an easy thing and it takes time to build one. That’s something we can definitely tie in to our teams.”     After learning about Native American history at the Oregon Historical Society, participants experienced its living impact firsthand at the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Veterans Powwow. Student-athletes learned about the traditional longhouse, witnessed cultural traditions, and took part in the Grand Entry ceremony.  Often competitors on the field, student-athletes joined together to dance with members of the Grande Ronde Confederation and in honoring Veterans. For many student-athletes, it is the moment they said they will remember most about the trip.    “It was beautiful seeing the tradition unfold right before my eyes and getting involved with it,” said Penn State football student-athlete Armstrong Nnodim. “As athletes we get caught up in the competitive world, so to come here and bond with everyone from different backgrounds was amazing.”   Launched in 2022, the Big Life Series is part of the Big Ten’s commitment to providing educational and developmental opportunities beyond competition. The Pacific Northwest program represented the latest installment of the initiative, connecting student-athletes with the people, places, and histories that shape communities throughout the conference’s expanded footprint. For a full list of Big Ten student-athletes who participated in “Big Life Series: Pacific Northwest”, click <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.boostsport.ai%2Fboost-cms%2FBig%2520Life%2520Series%2520-%2520PNW%2520Particpant%2520List.pdf&data=05%7C02%7Cmbeck%40bigten.org%7Cd0617ab4c96a4bf79db008dedc36f22d%7C5c35f07cce5e4fa582baa44898424550%7C1%7C0%7C639190325738707341%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=GjLuIJk14zxzwkzs%2F2YwIayNyP0Z%2BMluB6cv5PAsGcA%3D&reserved=0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">

Big Life Series Showcases the Spirit of the Pacific Northwest

<div class="payload-richtext">ROSEMONT, Ill. - As part of the “Big Life Series: Pacific Northwest”, the Big Ten will host over 150 student-athletes, coaches and administrators from all 18 Big Ten schools in Portland, Ore. from Friday, July 10 to Sunday, July 12. The program is designed to deepen participants’ understanding of the region’s rich history, culture and communities through an immersive educational experience.   Programming will begin Friday evening with a nature walk through Multnomah Falls to showcase the region’s deep ties to nature and the history of the Pacific Northwest landscape.    On Saturday, student-athletes will visit the Oregon Historical Society and have the chance to learn about the Japanese American West Coast experience and hear firsthand from a member of the Oregon Black Pioneers. Through discussions centered on resilience, community, and historical impact, participants will gain a deeper appreciation for the individuals and stories that have shaped the Pacific Northwest.    The group will then travel to the Grand Ronde Reservation for a Veterans Powwow, which will provide an opportunity to engage with living cultural traditions and better understand the history, values and contributions of the Native American communities across the region.   The evening will conclude with a dinner at Cooper Mountain Vineyard, where student-athletes will have a hands-on discussion about the agricultural history of the region and the grape-growing operation.   The Big Life series is an immersive educational experience started in 2022 that focuses on engaging, educating, and empowering Big Ten student-athletes, coaches, and administrators. With trips to Selma, Alabama; Mount Vernon, Iowa; and Portland, Oregon attendees learn about the historical and cultural significance of the region. Since its inception, over 500 students-athletes have participated in these programs.
