KANSAS CITY, Missouri - The hero came through on Wednesday afternoon as Summit League Offensive Player of the Year Italo Jenkins scored the game-winning goal in the 81st minute to send the Omaha men's soccer team (10-4-3) to the Summit League Championship Match on Saturday afternoon. The Mavs took down Delaware (8-5-6) to earn their first-ever win over the Blue Hens.
The Mavs advance to their seventh Summit League Championship Match and will be looking to capture their third Summit League Tournament Championship. A win on Saturday would give the Mavs an automatic bid to their fourth NCAA Tournament in program history.
The score remained 0-0 for 80 minutes, but there was no doubt the Mavs were dominating the game as they outshot the Blue Hens 6-0 in the second half before Jenkins' goal.
Goalkeeper Kamy Ndione sent a perfect ball to Mikey Stukenholtz to get the rally started in the 81st minute. Stukenholtz had plenty of green grass in front of him, and in a two-on-two situation, he sent the ball to Jenkins. The Atlanta, Georgia, native made a sliding attempt and just got a foot on the ball. It bounced off the goalkeeper and into the net to give the Mavs the lead and the win.
Ndione held the Blue Hens scoreless to earn his seventh clean sheet of the season, making three saves in the final eight minutes.
Omaha will look for its second Summit League Championship in the last four seasons on Saturday. The Mavs will play either St. Thomas or Kansas City in Kansas City. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. on the Summit League Network.
