Stanford’s next women’s soccer match puts two top-10 teams on the same field and gives South Bay viewers a Friday-afternoon appointment.

No. 7 Stanford visits No. 2 North Carolina on Oct. 23 in Chapel Hill. Kickoff is 3 p.m. PDT, with ACC Network carrying the match, according to Stanford’s Oct. 21 preview and team schedule.

The programs have repeatedly played close games: Stanford says seven of their last nine meetings were level after 90 minutes. The Cardinal has won four of the last five meetings but is 1–2–1 in games at North Carolina.

For Saratoga supporters who would rather attend than watch from home, Stanford returns to Cagan Stadium on Thursday, Oct. 29, to face NC State at 7 p.m. PDT. That home match will stream on ACC Network Extra.
