Omaha

The Omaha Mavericks embody a bold vision, the rugged spirit of the heartland, and the pride of being Omaha's public university in Nebraska. After making a strategic and ambitious leap to NCAA Division I in 2011, the Mavericks have successfully forged a new identity, centered on competing at the highest levels in the Summit League and beyond. The university's national brand is carried by its men's ice hockey program, a powerhouse that competes in the elite National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) and electrified the college hockey world with a magical run to the 2015 Frozen Four. The Mavericks' success has expanded across the athletic department, with the baseball team earning its first NCAA Tournament bid in 2019 and a competitive men's basketball program consistently challenging for Summit League titles. The state-of-the-art Baxter Arena stands as the heart of Maverick athletics, a symbol of the university's commitment to a first-class Division I experience. The Omaha Mavericks represent a new era of collegiate sports in their city, defined by a fearless commitment to growth and the relentless pursuit of championships on the national stage.
