North Dakota State University’s women’s soccer squad is in the midst of a six‑game home stretch, with the latest contest arriving on August 23 when the Bison host Washington State at Dacotah Field. The match kicks off at 1 p.m. and will be streamed live on the Summit League Network, giving fans a chance to follow the action from the comfort of their homes.
Early Season Breakthroughs
Morgan Russmann found the back of the net for the first time this season against Minnesota, a tally that now stands at 18 career goals and places her sixth all‑time in the NDSU D1 era. Her strike underscores the team’s growing offensive firepower.
Payton Mulberry contributed her first career assist for the Bison in the same match, a milestone that marks the first assist by a NDSU goalkeeper since Abby Wilkinson in 2021. The play highlights the emerging chemistry between outfield players and the last line of defense.
Freshman Abby DeSena also celebrated her first collegiate point by scoring a goal against Minnesota, adding another name to the list of emerging talents in the program.
Looking Ahead to the Next Opponent
The Bison’s schedule will next see them welcome Prairie View A&M on August 27 at 6 p.m., marking the first meeting between the two programs. The game will again take place at Dacotah Field and will be part of the ongoing home series that runs through the month.
Admission to all NDSU soccer home matches remains free, with parking available in designated lots on Thursdays and Sundays. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to secure a spot and enjoy the vibrant campus atmosphere.
