Louisville, KY, October 19, 2026 —

The 9th Region girls soccer tournament bracket has been set, placing Highlands and Notre Dame in the same half of the draw. The two perennial powers could face each other in the semifinals if both advance through their earlier matches.

The bracket placement creates a possible matchup, but it does not mean the teams are certain to meet. Each would first have to advance to the semifinal round. No additional information was provided about their opening opponents or the other matchups in the draw.

The tournament dates, venues and full bracket were not included in the available information. Details about the teams’ records, previous meetings or tournament history also were not provided, so the bracket placement is the only reported development.

For now, Highlands and Notre Dame occupy the same side of the tournament draw, setting up the possibility of a semifinal meeting. Whether that matchup takes place will depend on both teams advancing through the rounds before it.
