Four teams from the Big Ten conference competed in the single elimination event.[1] The seeds were based upon the teams' regular season conference record with Penn State winning the head-to-head tie breaker over Ohio State to earn the #4 seed and final spot in the field.[2] In the final, Maryland beat Rutgers 14–8.[3] [4]
