The start time for Arkansas' soccer game at Notre Dame on Sunday has been changed.
First touch is now scheduled for 3 p.m. Central at Alumni Stadium in South Bend, Ind., two hours later than originally planned. The game will be televised by ACC Network.
The change in start time was due to a lengthy travel delay for the Razorbacks on Saturday.
Arkansas (2-0) is ranked 10th and Notre Dame (2-0-1) is ranked 12th in this week's United Soccer Coaches Poll. It is the first of three road games for the Razorbacks at a ranked ACC team over the span of 12 days. Arkansas is scheduled to play at No. 3 North Carolina next Sunday and at No. 19 Clemson on Sept. 7.
Sunday's game will be the second between Arkansas and Notre Dame. The Razorbacks eliminated the Fighting Irish with a 3-2 victory in the third round of the 2021 NCAA Tournament in Fayetteville.
Notre Dame was ranked third in the preseason. The Fighting Irish played Milwaukee to a 2-2 tie in the season opener before victories of 3-0 over Ball State and 4-1 over Butler.
Arkansas has defeated Arkansas State 6-0 and Oregon 4-0.
