KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Champions.
The Omaha men's soccer team (11-4-3) made more history on Saturday night as it captured the program's third Summit League Tournament Championship with a 4-2 win over St. Thomas (5-9-5) in the Summit League Championship Game in Kansas City. Omaha clinched its fourth NCAA Tournament bid and has now won the Summit League Tournament twice in the last four years. Omaha also set a new program record with 11 wins, surpassing the 2017 team that won 10 matches.
Omaha clinched its automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament and will hear its name called during the NCAA Selection Show at 1 p.m. on Monday. The show can be seen on NCAA.com.
It did not take long for the best offense in program history to get going as Summit League Tournament MVP Italo Jenkins stole the ball from a Tommie and dished it off to Jeppe Runge, who fired a shot into the back of the net to put the Mavs up 1-0 in the 13th minute. St. Thomas quickly responded with a penalty kick conversion 50 seconds later to tie the match heading into halftime.
Maguire Perkins took over in the final 45 minutes as the junior from Gretna scored back-to-back unassisted goals in the 62nd and 71st minutes to give the Mavs a two-goal advantage. In the 76th minute, Brady Robins sent a deep ball that Jenkins won before flicking it to Mikey Stukenholtz, who put the Mavs up 4-1. St. Thomas got one back in the 77th minute, but the party was on for Omaha.
Perkins, Stukenholtz, Jenkins and Runge were all named to the Summit League All-Tournament Team, while Jenkins took home MVP honors.
