Yes, But

North Alabama has won two of its seven Division I-era meetings with Central Arkansas, both in 2025, but lost 2-0 in Conway earlier this season. Central Arkansas is unbeaten in its last three games, though all three ended in ties.

If North Alabama advances, it will play Abilene Christian in the semifinals Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 4 p.m. The game will air on ESPN+, with live stats available through StatBroadcast.
