Omaha fell 25-23 in the opening set and 25-18 in the second. Sparks were flying in the third frame as Omaha went toe-to-toe with Wyoming with the Mavericks surviving five set points, punctuated by Amanda Hardt and Ivy Leuck connecting for a kill to even the score at 25 and more importantly, keeping Omaha in the hunt.
