It determined the Big Ten Conference's automatic berth into the 2017 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship. Maryland entered the tournament as the three-time defending champions, but were defeated in the quarterfinals by eventual champions Wisconsin.
This was the second Big Ten Tournament title for the Wisconsin Badgers. The Badgers defeated Indiana in penalty kicks in the championship game.
