North Dakota Women's Soccer Hosts Florida Atlantic in Historic Match

Bronson Field gets something new on Sunday: an opponent it has never seen before.

North Dakota’s women’s soccer team returns home to Grand Forks for a noon kickoff against Florida Atlantic, a first-ever clash between the Fighting Hawks and the Owls that doubles as a key marker in UND’s non-conference calendar.

The matchup arrives on the heels of a demanding two-game swing through California, where North Dakota went 0-1-1. The results were mixed, the lessons clear. Now the response comes on home turf.

A First Chapter at Bronson Field

The series history is simple: there isn’t one. The all-time ledger reads 0-0-0, and Sunday’s matinee will write the opening line.

Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. (Noon) CT on September 13 at Bronson Field, with the game serving as UND’s only contest of the week and the second-to-last outing of the 2026 non-conference slate. One game, one chance to reset the tone before the schedule tightens.

For North Dakota, that means defending its home field while testing itself against a fresh, unfamiliar style. For Florida Atlantic, it’s a long trip north into a new environment, a different climate, and a fan base eager for a statement performance from the home side.
