COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State closes out its regular-season home schedule Friday when the Buckeyes host Northwestern at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium (7 p.m./B1G+). Before kickoff, Ohio State will honor eight members of its senior class: Andre Roberts, Will Arnesen, Jacob Maisonneuve, Isaiah Chisolm, Ryan Hannosh, Christian Baumgartner, Elijah Bishop and Marko Borkovic.
Â
The evening provides an opportunity to celebrate a group that represents perseverance, leadership and a commitment to the program. Between transfers who made immediate impacts and Buckeyes who spent multiple seasons in scarlet and gray, the class has combined for hundreds of appearances and memorable moments throughout their collegiate careers.
Â
The Buckeyes enter the match 6-6-2 overall and 1-6-1 in conference play. Ohio State has been one of the league's more productive attacking teams, scoring 26 goals while averaging 1.86 goals per match. The Buckeyes own wins over Virginia Tech, DePaul, Memphis, Northern Kentucky, Kentucky and Penn State this season.
Â
Northwestern comes to Columbus with a 5-5-4 overall record and a 2-3-3 mark in Big Ten play. The Wildcats are unbeaten in their last three matches, recording draws against Penn State, UCLA and Indiana.
Â
The matchup features one of the conference's more intriguing contrasts. Ohio State has been dangerous going forward, outshooting opponents 208-139 and averaging nearly 15 shots per match. Northwestern has relied on balance, scoring 21 goals while allowing 20 and posting four shutouts.
Â
The Buckeye attack is led by striker Isaiah Chisolm, who has scored seven goals in just five appearances. Chisolm ranks first on the team in goals and points and has produced three game-winning goals, including a hat trick against Northern Kentucky.
Â
Ohio State also gets production from Martin Wurschmidt, who has five goals, including a two-goal performance in a road win at Penn State, while Aaron Hurge has added three goals and a team-high four assists. Ryan Hannosh has contributed two goals and two assists and ranks among the team's leaders in shots.
Â
Defensively, Ohio State is anchored by goalkeeper Patrick McLaughlin, who owns a 1.11 goals-against average, a .727 save percentage and four shutouts. He recorded a season-high nine saves in last week's match at Maryland.
Â
Northwestern's offense is paced by Peter Riesz, who leads the Wildcats with four goals, three assists and 11 points while also leading the team with 33 shots. Italo Addimandi has matched Riesz with four goals, while Bryant Mayer leads Northwestern with four assists.
Â
The Wildcats have leaned heavily on goalkeeper Dominic Pereira, who has started 12 matches and carries a 1.36 goals-against average with 39 saves and four shutouts. Northwestern's defense has been especially difficult to break down recently, posting clean sheets against UCLA and Indiana while allowing just one goal over its last three matches.
Â
Among the players recognized Friday, few have made a bigger immediate impact than senior forward Chisolm. After arriving from Kentucky, Chisolm erupted for seven goals in just his first four appearances this season, scoring three game-winning goals and converting all three penalty kick opportunities. His remarkable start included a hat trick against Northern Kentucky and a two-goal performance against DePaul. Across his collegiate career, Chisolm has totaled 18 goals and 41 points in 54 matches.
Â
Another key addition has been Hannosh, who transferred from Butler and has provided consistent attacking production. Hannosh has scored two goals and added two assists this season, including a pair of assists in Ohio State's road win at Kentucky and goals against DePaul and George Mason. For his collegiate career, Hannosh has accumulated 12 goals and 13 assists in 61 matches.
Â
Christian Baumgartner has been a steady presence during his lone season as a Buckeye after a successful career at DePaul. The senior defender has started 12 matches while adding two goals and an assist. His signature moment came against Michigan State with a pair of late goals against the Spartans. Baumgartner owns 60 career appearances, eight goals and six assists.
Â
Defender Elijah Bishop brought extensive experience from Central Arkansas and has anchored the Ohio State back line throughout the year. Bishop has started all 13 matches he has played in this season and contributed an assist against Memphis. Across four collegiate seasons, he has appeared in 61 matches while making 60 starts and logging more than 5,100 career minutes.
Â
Andre Roberts concludes one of the longest Buckeye careers among this senior class. A four-year contributor, Roberts has appeared in 56 career matches and made 41 starts for Ohio State. This season, he ranks among the team leaders with four assists, while his career totals include three goals and eight assists.
Â
Will Arnesen's journey has spanned two programs and five collegiate seasons. After beginning his career at Old Dominion, Arnesen joined the Buckeyes in 2025 and has contributed valuable depth while appearing in 19 matches for Ohio State. Overall, he has played in 45 career contests with seven goals and three assists.
Â
Jacob Maisonneuve has represented the definition of persistence throughout his Buckeye career. A member of the Ohio State program since 2024, Maisonneuve has appeared in eight matches over the last two seasons and has remained an important member of the team's training environment and culture.
Â
Senior forward Marko Borkovic leaves a lasting legacy as one of the most productive attackers of recent years. In 53 career matches, Borkovic scored 15 goals and added 14 assists for 44 career points.
Â
He produced five goals and three assists in just eight appearances during the 2025 season and finished his career with five game-winning goals. His combination of creativity and finishing ability made him one of Ohio State's most dangerous offensive threats during his time in Columbus.
