SETTING THE SCENE
• Indiana begins its regular season and Big Ten wrap up this Saturday as it travels to Madison, Wisconsin to take on the Wisconsin Badgers.
• The Hoosiers are coming off a 2-0 win at Evansville and bring a three-match win streak into Madison.
• At 3-2-1 the Hoosiers are still in the thick of the Big Ten race but will have to win their remaining two games, as well as get help from some other teams.
• Wisconsin has struggled this season and is still looking for its first Big Ten win at 0-6 overall. Its last win was a 1-0 win over Milwaukee on October 22.
• Six of Wisconsin's 10 losses have been one-goal defeats.
NEWS AND NOTES
• First half goals from Femi Hollinger-Janzen held up as the Hoosiers posted a 2-0 win at Evansville Wednesday night at McCutchan Stadium.
• Freshman defender Lillard used his head to put Indiana up 1-0 in the seventh minute as he crashed the box to head home a corner kick from left back Patrick Doody. That is Lillard's fourth goal of the season. The assist is number four on the year for Doody.
• It is the ninth time this season Indiana has scored a goal within the first 26 minutes of play.
• Indiana put its first six shots of the game on frame, forcing UE goalkeeper Eric Teppen into five saves early on. Included in that tally was an angled shot from Doody that gave Teppen trouble in the 30th minute.
• The Hoosiers thought they had a second goal in the 40th minute when Michael Riedford headed home the rebound off a Hollinger-Janzen shot, but the referee's flag was up, signaling Riedford was in an offside position.
• Indiana's chances paid off in the 42nd minute when Hollinger-Janzen netted his team-leading fifth of the season, hitting the upper 90 from the left side off the pass from Matt Foldesy.
• Indiana went into the halftime break leading 2-0, including a 9-2 shot advantage with eight of its nine shots on frame.
• Evansville has a spell near the IU net with three quick corner kicks, but the Hoosiers limited the Purple Aces to zero shots off those corners before putting the pressure back on the UE net. Kyle Sparks had a chance with a header off service from Doody in the 63rd minute, but his nod was just high.
• In the 67th minute Hollinger-Janzen sent a ball toward goal off the side of his boot but angled it high for an Evansville goal kick. In the 72nd minute Foldesy had a shot off Tanner Thompson's corner kick that was cleared off the line by Evansville's Arlick Ntabana, preventing a third goal.
• Three of Evansville's five shots came in the final five minutes of the game as IU goalkeeper Colin Webb was forced to make two late saves to preserve the shutout.
• Indiana finished with a commanding 22-5 shot advantage, led by seven from Thompson. Hollinger-Janzen added four.
• A tally of 3,159 fans were at the IU-Notre Dame match on October 22 as the Hoosiers are averaging 2,622 fans per game at home.
SCOUTING THE BADGERS
• Wisconsin is 3-10-2 overall and winless in Big Ten play at 0-6.
• Mark Segbers and Tom Barlow share the team lead in goals scored with four each, accounting for half of the team's 16 goals scored.
• Segbers also has a team-best five assists.
• Opponents are out-scoring Wisconsin by a 25-16 margin, with the Badgers getting out-shot 202-143.

• Head coach John Trask is an Indiana alum and former coach for the Hoosiers. He is in his fifth season at Wisconsin. He is assisted by Keith Tiemeyer, Ian Sarachan and Stan Anderson.
SERIES HISTORY
• Indiana leads the all-time series with Wisconsin, 35-5-5.
