OMAHA, Neb. - The Nebraska Omaha men's soccer team will play 16 games, including five at home, as part of its 2012 schedule released on Thursday.
The Mavericks will play their first full Summit League schedule this year with seven games against league foes. In all, UNO will have six home dates counting an exhibition, all of which will be played at the UNO Soccer Field at 68th and Spring Streets. In the Mavs' inaugural season last year, UNO hosted just three games.
The Mavs open exhibition play on Saturday, Aug. 11 against Iowa Western CC at 2:30 p.m. After traveling to Drake for an exhibition match on Aug. 15, the Mavs will cap preseason play with a 4 p.m. match at Creighton on Sunday, Aug. 19 at Morrison Stadium. That match kicks off at 4 p.m.
UNO begins the regular season on Sunday, Aug. 26 at home against Bellevue at 5 p.m. The Mavs will then play at the Hotels at Grand Prairie Classic in Peoria, Ill. On Friday, Aug. 31, UNO opens against Mercer. On Sept. 2, the Mavs face host Bradley, who reached the 2011 NCAA Tournament Second Round.
UNO returns for their second home game against Seattle on Sunday, Sept. 9 at 5 p.m., before heading to the West Coast for games against San Diego State (Sept. 14) and UC Riverside (Sept. 16) at the UC Riverside Tournament.
The Mavs' first-ever Summit League conference game will be at defending Summit League champion and NCAA Tournament qualifier Western Illinois on Sept. 22. The following week, UNO hosts IUPUI on Saturday, Sept. 29 at 1 p.m.
The Mavs will then rotate between non-conference and conference play for the next two weeks. On Oct. 2, UNO steps out of the conference slate to visit SIU Edwardsville for the second straight year. The Mavs then host Summit League foe Eastern Illinois on Oct. 6 at 1 p.m. Two days later on Oct. 8, UNO travels to face non-conference opponent Tulsa. On Oct. 13, UNO is at Summit League member IPFW. Following that, the Mavs head to Milwaukee for a non-conference match on Oct. 16.
UNO returns to Summit League action for the final three games of the year. The Mavs visit the site of their first win in program history, at UMKC, on Oct. 20. UNO concludes its home schedule with a 12 p.m. game against Oakland on Sunday, Oct. 28. The Mavs close the season on Nov. 3 at Oral Roberts in Tulsa, Okla. UNO is not eligible for the conference tournament or postseason play until 2015-16.
"We're very excited about this challenging schedule and the chance to play a few more games at home this year," Head Coach Jason Mims said. "We had outstanding fan support last year and we hope to continue that in our second year. We're very much looking forward to our first year competing in the Summit League."
