The Minnesota Aurora, Minnesota’s Pre- Professional Women’s soccer team, are heading into the playoffs after an undefeated regular season! The community-owned and women-lead team finished their first ever season with more points than any of the more than 40 teams in the USL W-League. The Aurora will take on the Indy Eleven from Indianapolis at 7 p.m. tonight at their home field – TCO Stadium in Eagan.
