Buckeyes head to Maryland to face the No. 11 Terrapins Saturday

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State (6-5-2, 1-5-1) and No. 4 Indiana (12-1-2, 5-1-0) tussled Tuesday in a defense battle the Hoosiers claimed with a 1-0 win at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium (Att: 1,915).

Indiana scored the lone goal in a physical, defensive first half. The Hoosiers got on the board in the 41' when Easton Bogard headed in a cross delivered by Nolan Kinsella from the right side.
Ohio State had its best chance in the 18' when Christian Baumgartner shot twice around a pass from Victor Labite. Joel Demian started the play with a corner kick that Baumgartner headed wide. Labite gathered the rebound and fed Baumgartner again before Indiana's goalkeeper Michal Mroz made the point-blank save.
The Buckeyes had another quality chance in the 37' when Josué Youta went down in the box with former Buckeye Nick McHenry making contact but not enough to warrant a PK.
Patrick McLaughlin got the start for the Buckeyes in goal. He is 11-7-4 in 22 career starts. He reached 50 careers saves in the match with two against the Hoosiers.
Ryan Hannosh reached 100 (102) career shots with three Tuesday.
