Mavs to Play 6 Home Games in 2004
The University of Nebraska at Omaha will host Nebraska-Kearney on Saturday, Aug. 28, to open an 11-game 2004 football schedule announced today by coach Pat Behrns.
The Mavericks, 8-3 last season and second in the North Central Conference, will play six NCC games and five against non-conference opponents. Three of UNO's 2004 foes will be first-time opponents.
With two schools dropping out of the NCC, UNO will lose long-time opponents North Dakota State and South Dakota State. To replace those, Minnesota-Duluth will move from the Northern Sun Conference to the NCC. The Bulldogs, one of UNO's first-time opponents, will be the Mavericks' homecoming foe on Oct. 9. The other two new opponents will be Minnesota-Crookston, at home on Sept. 11, and Tiffin (Ohio) University, on the road Oct. 2.
The Mavericks will entertain Indiana University of Pennsylvania and travel to Western Washington in the other non-conference games. UNO played at Indiana last year and hosted Western Washington and both were first-time meetings.
The NCC schedule includes home games against South Dakota, Minnesota-Duluth and North Dakota and road games at Augustana, St. Cloud State and Minnesota State, Mankato.
