Time: 4 p.m. CT

Scouting the Tar Heels
North Carolina will remain on its home turf after a win over Santa Clara on Friday evening. Tessa Dellarose scored the game-winner with 18 seconds remaining in the match.
Series History
Minnesota and North Carolina have only faced each other once, back in 1996. The Golden Gophers lost to the Tarheels 2-0 in Madison, Wisconsin almost 30 years ago.
Last Time Out
On Friday, Minnesota came back from behind to defeat South Carolina to advance to the Sweet 16 for the third time in program history.
Sophia Boman and Sophia Romine scored the 'U's goals in the second half. Boman with the game-tying goal and Romine with the game-winner.
A Season to Remember
The No. 6 seed is another feather in head coach Erin Chastain's hat on the 2024 season. Along with the at-large bid, Chastain led her alma mater to an undefeated regular home season (7-0-2 at ELR), five student-athletes honored by the Big Ten including Forward of the Year in Khyah Harper, and grabbing two top 15 wins for the first time in program history.
National Tournament History
This season marked Minnesota's 13th appearance in the Big Dance, now holding a 11-10-1 all-time record in the NCAA Tournament. The Golden Gophers' longest runs came during the 2008 and 2010 seasons, when the Maroon and Gold reached the Sweet Sixteen, including hosting Georgetown in 2008. Minnesota has now matched that with the win ove South Carolina on Friday.
Postseason Honors
Along with Khyah Harper earning Big Ten Forward of the Year, four other Gophers earned conference recognition. Harper and Sophia Boman received First Team All-Big Ten nods while Paige Kalal was named Second Team All-Big Ten. Ashley Thurk was recognized to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team and Elizabeth Overberg capped things off with the Sportsmanship Award.
