The Mavericks cap off the regular season at 6-7-1 and finish 4-1-0 in Summit League play.

The lone goal of the match came by Veys, who netted his fifth of the season off an assist by Diego Gutierrez inside the box. Veys shot it past the keeper inside the box and put the ball in the right corner of the net.

Looking Ahead
Omaha has locked up a spot in The Summit League Championship, which is set to take place in Denver, Colo., Nov. 8-10.
