Arkansas Razorbacks women’s soccer team has secured a 5-seed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament and will play Dartmouth in the first round on Friday, November 14 at Razorback Field. The match is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. and will be available for streaming on ESPN+.
This marks the fifth consecutive year that Arkansas will host an opening-round game of the tournament. Head coach Colby Hale has led the program to its 10th straight NCAA Tournament appearance, with a total of 12 overall since his hiring in 2012. Prior to Hale’s tenure, Arkansas had never qualified for the NCAA Tournament.
The Razorbacks concluded their regular season with a record of 9-3-4, including a 7-1-2 mark in Southeastern Conference (SEC) play. They claimed their fifth SEC regular season championship this year and had five players named to All-SEC teams. “Hale was named the league’s coach of the year.”
Dartmouth enters the tournament after winning the Ivy League Tournament and making its first NCAA appearance since 2005. The Big Green holds an all-time record of 6-10-0 in NCAA Tournament matches. “Sophomore and First Team All-Ivy selection Stephanie Lathrop leads the Big Green with nine goals and four assists.”
The winner between Arkansas and Dartmouth will advance to face either Washington or Montana, who are matched up as a 4-seed versus Montana, in next weekend’s second round.
Historically, Arkansas has compiled a record of 15 wins, seven losses, and five draws in NCAA Tournament play, reaching the Elite Eight twice—in both 2021 and 2022.
