Unbeaten Indiana defeated Big Ten rival Wisconsin today by a score of 20-13. Indiana's Jake Hidalgo scored twice (putting him at 12 tries for the season) to lead the Hoosiers over the reigning conference champs as a strong defensive effort by the Badgers was not enough.
The match was touted as the biggest game of the fall in the Big 10 Rugby Conference and the teams and players did not disappoint. Indiana will now face Ohio State this weekend for the BTU championship.
