Indiana Edges Ohio State to Win Big Ten

IU center/wing Peyton Wall was named conference MVP.

"I’m honored to be awarded this prestigious award," said Wall. "I want to thank my coaches Luke and Nick for helping not only me but our team to be the best we can be. I really want to thank the backline for stepping up when two of our players went and played for the US 7s team."

Indiana Head Coach Luke Gross was named Coach of the Year after joining the program this fall.
