Mavs Unveil New Helmet, Schedule
Head coach Pat Behrns unveiled the 2007 schedule and new helmets for the Mavericks. The new headgear will be a deeper red, more closely matching the school's official color of crimson, and will feature a block "O" on each side.
It marks the first change in the color of the helmets since 1994 when head
coach Pat Behrns switched from black to red. The Maverick logo was removed
after the 1995 season and the helmets have been solid red over the past 11
seasons.
The 2007 schedule includes a season-opener Sept. 1 at Nebraska-Kearney and
a home opener against NCAA Division II runner-up Northwest Missouri State
at Caniglia Field on Sept. 15, the first of five home games. Those will be
the only two non-conference games on the 10-game schedule. Northwest
Missouri State's only loss in 2006 came in the national championship game,
17-14, to Grand Valley State, the second straight year the Bearcats dropped
the title game to the Lakers.
UNO will open league play against Western Washington, an affiliate member
of the North Central Conference, on Sept. 15 at Canigia Field. The other
home games include a Sept. 29 homecoming clash with Minnesota State,
Mankato; an Oct. 20 date with Minnesota Duluth and a Nov. 3 game with South
Dakota.
The Mavericks, 8-3 last year under head coach Pat Behrns, won a share of
the NCC title for a third straight season and earned a bye in the first
round of the NCAA II playoffs before bowing out to North Dakota.
