Huskers Set for NCAA First-Round Clash Against Jackrabbits

The Nebraska soccer team, boasting an impressive 14-3-3 record, is ready to kick off its 13th NCAA Tournament appearance. The fifth-seeded Huskers are preparing to host South Dakota State this Friday at Barbara Hibner Stadium, with kickoff set for 7:05 p.m. CT.

The Huskers, who previously bested the Jackrabbits 2-1 in an exhibition match this season, look to capitalize on that victory in this crucial first-round matchup. Fans can catch the live action on ESPN+ or follow live stats on Huskers.com.

In their last outing, Nebraska’s aggressive play saw them outshoot Wisconsin 15-10, despite a semifinal exit from the Big Ten Tournament. Now, with NCAA stakes, the Huskers aim to extend their 17-12 all-time tournament record and eye another Sweet 16 berth, a stage they’ve reached eight times before.

Standing out for the Huskers is Dale, the Big Ten Forward of the Year, leading the nation with 25 goals. Alongside her, Sarah Weber and Florence Belzile bring their record-setting performances into the postseason, promising an explosive game.

The victor of this match faces the winner of the Xavier-Tennessee contest. With history and high stakes on their side, the Huskers are poised for what could be another memorable NCAA journey.
