The Mavericks return home after a three-week absence to host North Central Conference rival North Dakota Friday at 4 p.m. at the UNO Soccer Field, 68th and Spring Streets.
UNO is 2-4 on the season overall and 1-1 in the NCC and will be facing a team that has been its toughest opponent in the conference. While the Mavericks lead the overall series, 10-4, the advantage is just 5-4 over the past nine meetings.
North Dakota, 5-2 overall and 0-1 in the NCC, owns 3 of the Mavericks' 10 all-time league losses. Prior to this season, UND is the only team to hand UNO a league loss from 2002-2005. UNO has won three straight vs. the Fighting Sioux, all by shutouts.
The Mavericks are coming off a 3-0 setback at Minnesota State, Mankato on Sunday. That followed UNO's NCC-opening 1-0 win at Minnesota Duluth last Saturday. Casey Bigsby scored her first goal of the year and seventh of her career and goalkeeper Ellen Petersen earned her first shutout of the season for the Mavericks.
