Prairie View A&M will meet the University of North Dakota for the second time when the Panthers visit Grand Forks on Sunday, August 30, scheduled for 12 PM at Bronson Field. The early-season contest gives Prairie View A&M a chance to reverse last year's narrow result after North Dakota won the programs' first meeting 1-0.
The Panthers enter the rematch with a few leading players. Ashanti Hall scored Prairie View A&M's first goal of the season Thursday against North Dakota STate, providing an early breakthrough for the attack. Analisse Cheema leads the team in shots, and her ability to continue finding space and testing the North Dakota defense could be central to the Panthers' approach.
Prairie View A&M also brings an active goalkeeping group into Sunday's contest with two goalkeepers, Nenah Jackson and Natalie Grajeda. Nenah Jackson leds the Panthers with 21 saves, while Natalie Grajeda made her first start on Thursday and collected six saves. That production gives the Panthers a foundation at the back as they prepare for another potentially tight match against North Dakota, this time seeking the finishing touch needed to change the outcome.
The game will be available online through live stats and live streaming.
