The 1996 University of Nebraska at Omaha volleyball team that won the NCAA Division II championship, will be honored next Wednesday, Nov. 1, at the 31st annual UNO Athletic Hall of Fame Banquet at the DoubleTree Downtown as one of the school's greatest teams.

Three former Maverick athletes who made their mark nationally will be inducted into the Hall of Fame that night. Two-time football All-American Chris Bober, career baseball games-played leader Greg Geary and track All-American Sheila Brown Geil will be the featured honorees at the banquet.

The event is open to the public at $50 per person or $500 for a table of 10. Reservations may be made by phoning the UNO Athletic Office at 554-2506. The social hour begins at 6 p.m., dinner at 7 and the program at 8.

Coach Rose Shires, who was named the national coach of the year, guided the team to a 35-2 mark. The team had first-team All-American Amy Steffel and second-team selections Tanya Cate and Erin Shafer. UNO's only losses were to North Dakota State and St. Cloud State and the Mavericks won their last 11 matches, including a five-game championship decision over Tampa.
