UND vs Florida Atlantic: First-Ever Clash in Women's Soccer

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – North Dakota finally comes home, and it comes home to something new.

After a bruising swing through California that yielded a 0-1-1 record, the Fighting Hawks women’s soccer team returns to Bronson Field on Sunday for a noon kickoff against Florida Atlantic – the first meeting between the programs and a fresh marker in UND’s record book.

Two schools. Two nicknames that travel well. No history.

That changes at 12 p.m. CT.

A one-off week with weight

This isn’t just another non-conference date tucked into the middle of September. It’s UND’s only match of the week and the second-to-last outing on the 2026 non-league schedule, a standalone fixture that gives the Hawks a clear target and a clean build-up.

No quick turnaround. No split focus.

Just 90 minutes against the Owls and a chance to reset the tone of the season in front of a home crowd that hasn’t seen its team since the early stages of the campaign.

Bronson Field will stage the “series opener” in what both sides hope becomes a more regular matchup. For now, the slate between North Dakota and Florida Atlantic sits empty: series tied 0-0-0, waiting for a first chapter.
