The Mavericks enter the weekend looking to secure their first victory over a nationally ranked opponent of the 2026-27 campaign. Omaha has already faced two ranked opponents this year, opening the season against then-No. 15 Augustana before traveling to then-No. 3 Denver for its first NCHC road series.
Omaha looks to carry momentum into Oxford after collecting five of six possible conference points against then-(RV) St. Cloud State on Nov. 6-7, earning a shootout victory Friday before securing a 5-3 win Saturday.
The Mavericks opened the weekend with a 2-2 overtime tie Friday in front of 6,449 fans on a historic night that featured the first jersey retirement in Omaha Hockey history, honoring Stanley Cup champion and Olympic gold medalist Jake Guentzel.Â
Freshman goaltender William Lacelle (Gatineau, Quebec, Canada) recorded 42 saves, while Gavin Hodnett (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) netted his first collegiate goal and Ryan McCleary (Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada) scored his first of the season.
Following a scoreless overtime period, freshman Logan Wormald (Langley, British Columbia, Canada) delivered the decisive goal in the fifth round of the shootout, securing two additional NCHC points for Omaha.
The Mavericks followed Friday's performance with a 5-3 victory Saturday, scoring twice in the final 3:53 to break a 3-3 tie. Assistant captain Maxime Pellerin (Victoriaville, Quebec, Canada)Â netted the game-winning power-play goal at 16:07 of the third period before Sean Tschigerl (Whitecourt, Alberta, Canada) sealed the win with an empty-net tally.
Tschigerl finished with two goals, while McCleary and Hodnett each found the back of the net for the second consecutive night. Assistant captain Luke Woodworth (Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, Canada) recorded three assists, Pellerin added a goal and an assist, and Lacelle finished with 23 saves.
Hodnett earned NCHC Rookie of the Week honors for his performance, the conference announced Tuesday, Nov. 10.
The five-point weekend marked Omaha's first NCHC victory of the season and improved the Mavericks to 3-4-1 overall.
Omaha now turns its attention to a nationally ranked Miami (Ohio) squad that moved into the No. 17 spot in both the USCHO polls Monday, Nov. 9. The RedHawks enter the series following a road split against then-No. 6/7 Minnesota Duluth, including a 3-2 victory Friday.
No. 17 Miami (Ohio) enters the weekend with a 7-3-0 overall record and returns to the national rankings after receiving votes in the polls the previous week.
Following the road series, Omaha returns to Kemp Ice at Baxter Arena for a two-game NCHC matchup against Western Michigan on Nov. 20-21. Both puck drops are scheduled for 7 p.m. CT, streaming on NCHCtv.
