Last Season vs. Oral Roberts
NDSU fell in the regular season finale to Oral Roberts 1-0 after the match was delayed late in the contest due to lightning and weather.
Morgan Russmann nearly put NDSU in front in the 25th minute, as her header hit the right post before being cleared away. The Golden Eagles took the lead in the 35th minute, as Precious Edosa headed a free kick past Payton Mulberry, who got a piece of the shot but not enough to keep it out of the goal.
Chloe Birch and Tyreese Zacher had shots on target in the second half, but NDSU was unable to find an equalizer before weather stopped play in the 81st minute. After the restart, neither team had a shot.
