The 2022 Big Ten Conference men's soccer season was the 31st season of college soccer play for the Big Ten Conference and part of the 2022 NCAA Division I men's soccer season. This was the Big Ten's tenth season with 14 teams. The Maryland Terrapins were the Big Ten Champions.[1]
Previous season
[edit]Penn State were the Big Ten regular season champions, earning their first Big Ten regular season title since 2013. The Nittany Lions also completed the double by winning the 2021 Big Ten Men's Soccer tournament, making it their first tournament title since 2005. The Nittany Lions earned the conference's automatic berth into the 2021 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer tournament.
Besides Penn State, Big Ten runners-up and third place finishers, Maryland and Indiana, respectively, earned at-large berths into the NCAA tournament. Penn State and Indiana earned national seeds, with Penn State earning the 12th overall seed, while Indiana earned the 15th overall seed. Maryland was eliminated in the opening round by LIU. Indiana reached the third round (Sweet Sixteen) before losing to eventual national runners-up, Washington. Penn State was eliminated by Hofstra by a record 2–8 scoreline.
Two Big Ten players were selected with the first two picks of the 2022 MLS SuperDraft. Maryland's Ben Bender, was selected by expansion club, Charlotte FC with the first overall draft pick.[2][3] Indiana goalkeeper, Roman Celentano, was selected second overall by FC Cincinnati. Additionally, Farai Mutatu, Brett St. Martin, and Daniel Bloyou were drafted.
