No. 6 Michigan State to Host Minnesota in Nationally Televised B1G Tournament Quarterfinal
10/23/2022 8:03:00 PM | Women's Soccer
EAST LANSING, Mich. – Big Ten champion and top-seeded No. 6 Michigan State women's soccer will be featured on Big Ten Network for the third time in 2022, as the Spartans play host to the eighth-seeded Minnesota Golden Gophers in their Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal matchup from DeMartin Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 30. Kick time between MSU and Minnesota is set for 4 p.m.
Â
The Big Ten Conference announced the full tournament field and bracket for the 2022 Big Ten Women's Soccer Tournament on Sunday night, with quarterfinal games hosted on campus sites and both the semifinals and finals hosted at Lower.com Field in Columbus, Ohio, the home of Major League Soccer's Columbus Crew.
Â
All quarterfinal games are set for Sunday, Oct. 30, with semifinals scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 3, at 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. The league's championship game is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 6, at 2 p.m. Michigan State's matchup against Minnesota, as well as the semifinals and finals of the tournament will be broadcast to a national television audience via Big Ten Network and streamed through the Fox Sports App.
Â
The Spartans completed their first undefeated Big Ten Conference season in program history, clinching their first official league title with 28 points following a 9-0-1 B1G campaign. MSU defeated No. 17 Ohio State on Thursday, Oct. 20, to secure its first B1G title, and followed that performance with a thrilling 1-0 victory over No. 14 Rutgers earlier Sunday afternoon at DeMartin Stadium. Michigan State is the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament for the second time in program history, having previously earned that spot in 1994 after finishing with the conference's best regular season record (from 1994-96, the Big Ten women's soccer title was awarded to the winner of the tournament, rather than the highest finisher in the regular season).
Â
Michigan State, which is seeking its first Big Ten Tournament title, will be facing a Minnesota side that has won three Big Ten Tournament championships in program history, most recently in 2018. Michigan State and Minnesota did not face one another during the 2022 regular season, with their most recent meeting coming on Sept. 26, 2021 (won by MSU, 2-1, at DeMartin Stadium).
Â
This year's Big Ten Tournament champion will earn the conference's automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament.
