CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – The 2025 Ally ACC Women’s Soccer Championship concludes with the final set for Sunday, November 9, at First Horizon Stadium at WakeMed Soccer Park, where top-seeded Stanford will meet second-seeded Notre Dame for the ACC title and the automatic bid into the 2025 NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Tournament. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET on ESPNU.

The matchup features two teams making their first appearance in the title match of the Ally ACC Women’s Soccer Championship, ensuring a first-time winner for the first time since Florida State captured its first crown in 2011. The contest also features the top two teams in the country, as Stanford and Notre Dame are currently ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in the latest United Soccer Coaches Poll. The two sides also lead all Power Four programs in total goals this season, with the Cardinal finding the back of the net 72 times compared to the Fighting Irish’s 54.

Stanford enters the final riding a conference-best 10-match winning streak after holding off fifth-seeded Virginia, 3-2, on Thursday evening for its first-ever ACC Championship victory. The Cardinal have scored at least three goals in each of their last four matches, outscoring opponents 19-7 during that span.

The Fighting Irish are led by 2025 ACC Offensive Player of the Year Izzy Engle, who leads the conference in goals with 18. Scoring the match’s opening goal on Thursday in Notre Dame’s 2-1 semifinal win over fourth-seeded Duke, Engle has now scored five goals in her last three appearances.
