FARGO, N.D. – The North Dakota State soccer season came to a close on Thursday, as the Bison fell to Oral Roberts on penalty kicks in the Summit League Championship semifinals at Dacotah Field. After a scoreless 0-0 game through 110 minutes, the Bison fell 5-3 in the penalty shootout.

Oral Roberts (9-7-5) scored on all five of its penalty kick chances, with Carson Arne scoring the clinching goal after Morgan Russmann's penalty was saved in NDSU's fourth attempt.
