 The Nebraska soccer team welcomes South Dakota State and South Dakota for a pair of exhibition matches to kick off the inaugural home season at the new Barbara Hibner Stadium for 2015.

The Huskers will take on South Dakota State on Wednesday, Aug. 12 at 7:05 p.m. to open preseason play. The Jackrabbits are fresh off of a successful 2014 season, capturing the Summit League Tournament Championship and earning a bid into the NCAA postseason.

NU will face off against South Dakota on Friday, Aug. 14 at 7:05 p.m. to round out the preseason exhibitions. The Coyotes finished the 2014 season with a 9-8-2 record under Head Coach Mandy Green.

The 2015 Husker squad includes senior duo Katie Kraeutner and Jaylyn Odermann as Head Coach John Walker begins his 22nd campaign at the head of the program. Nebraska also welcomes seven newcomers in the offseason in addition to a total of 16 returning letterwinners from 2014.

Named after former Nebraska women’s director of athletics and senior woman administrator Barbara Hibner, the new stadium features seating for about 2,500 spectators while offering stadium lights for the first time in a decade. The new complex is also home to the Sid and Hazel Dillon Tennis Complex, which contains six outdoor and 12 indoor tennis courts and coaching offices. For fans, the new facility includes concessions and restrooms, an elevated viewing deck, additional berm seating and a 1,600-square-foot kids play area scheduled to be completed with a playground and miniature soccer field in early September.

Both exhibition matches are free for fans. For additional information about the Nebraska Soccer and Tennis Complex, please consult our FAQs listed below.
