The seven-match tournament began with first-round matches held at campus sites, before moving to Yurcak Field in Piscataway, New Jersey for the semifinals and final.[1][2] The eight-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular-season conference play.[1] The defending tournament champion, Minnesota, did not qualify for this year's tournament. Penn State beat Michigan in the tournament championship game in overtime 2–1. Penn State is the Big Ten Tournament Champion. It was just the sixth Big Ten final to go to overtime (first since 2018).[3][4]
