OMAHA, Neb. – Omaha volleyball kicks off the 2025 campaign with a pair of home matches against Milwaukee on Friday at 7 p.m. CT and Saturday at 3 p.m. CT.
Â
The Mavericks and Panthers have only met once in Omaha's 55 years of volleyball. The Mavs beat Milwaukee 3-1 (19-25, 25-21, 26-24, 25-21) on Sep. 14, 2018, in a neutral site match.
Â
Omaha was picked to finish fourth in the Summit League. South Dakota State was the favorite to win the league with South Dakota picked second and St. Thomas third.
Â
Last season, Milwaukee went 20-12 overall and 15-3 in conference play. The Panthers postseason run ended in the Horizon League semifinals with a 3-1 loss to Cleveland State.
Â
Omaha returns nine to the team led by seniors Kali Jurgensmeier, a 2024 All-Summit League first team selection, and Morgan DeBow who recorded 38 kills and 12 digs in 2024. Jurgensmeirer was named a player to watch by the conference alongside Emily Huss.
Â
Head coach Matt Buttermore added seven newcomers in the off season with five freshmen and two transfers.
Â
Buttermore enters his seventh season at the helm of the Mavs with a record of 87-55 during his years in Omaha. He is the longest tenured Division I head volleyball coach in the state of Nebraska. He is joined by second year assistant Kyle Breitbarth and first year assistant and Omaha newcomer Ashley Petak.
