It determined the Big Ten Conference's automatic berth into the 2016 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship.
The top-seeded Maryland Terrapins won the Big Ten title for a third consecutive year, defeating the third-seed, Wisconsin in the championship match, 2–1.
Maryland's D. J. Reeves opened the scoring 90 seconds into the match, while Wisconsin's Tom Barlow tied the game in the 12th minute.
It was the first time since Indiana accomplished the feat in 1996, that a team won three consecutive Big Ten tournaments.
Instead, the quarterfinal matches were played at the campus sites of the higher seed, while the semifinal and championship fixtures were played at the Grand Park Sports Complex in Westfield, Indiana, about 10 miles north of downtown Indianapolis.
