Mavericks Unveil 2019 Men's Soccer Schedule
Jun 5, 2019 | Men's Soccer
OMAHA, Neb. – Omaha men's soccer head coach Bob Warming announced the 2019 schedule on Wednesday. The slate will be one of the most challenging the Mavericks have faced in their history.
"We have never shied away from playing top competition, and that is certainly the case this season," said Warming. "There is no better way for players and teams to improve than to play against the best. Our players will learn the value of working hard for each other and how important work ethic is to success."
The 2019 season features five opponents who ranked within the Top 50 RPI last season – St. Mary's (Calif.) (8), Denver (17), Air Force (27), Michigan (28) and Creighton (31). All but Creighton appeared in the 2018 NCAA Tournament. Â
The Mavericks will play a diverse schedule, taking on teams from the Pac 12, WAC, Missouri Valley, Big 10, Big East, Big West, Ivy League, Mountain West and West Coast Conference.
The upcoming season also will feature the first meetings between the Mavericks and Columbia, St. Mary's, San Diego State and UNLV.
The Mavericks begin the campaign with the Champions Challenge exhibition match against UCLA on Aug. 24 at Caniglia Field. Other home matches include Columbia (Sept. 6), UNLV (Sept. 9), Michigan (Sept. 13), CSUN (Sept. 27), Western Illinois (Oct. 5), Purdue Fort Wayne (Oct. 12), Bradley (Oct. 15) and Oral Roberts (Nov. 2).
The Summit League Championship will be held on Nov. 14-16 in Denver, Colo.
