DENVER, Colo. - The Mavericks played Denver Saturday morning in their second conference outing of the season. The Pioneers took a 7-0 win to hand Omaha the loss. The Mavericks fall to 8-11 (0-2) on the year.

"Tough day today. Though, compared to the last two matches we played, we were able to compete and battle with Denver," said head coach Adam Summitt. "Denver is a talented team, but we had many opportunities to close games out and just couldn't convert. It's a step forward for us at this moment. We look forward to getting another match on Wednesday."

The Pioneers took an early 1-0 edge after capturing the doubles points with wins at No. 2 and 1 to start the match. Madison Gallegos and Ines Absisan battled at the No. 1 line, but ultimately fell 6-3 to Britt Pursell and Camille Anderson.

Denver swept the singles match-ups to clinch a 7-0 win. Gallegos put up a fight for Omaha in No. 1 singles. Riedmiller took the first set, 6-3. Gallegos nearly forced a third set, but Riedmiller came away 7-5 in the second.

Omaha returns to action with a home match vs. South Dakota on Wednesday, April 7. It's set to start at 3 p.m.
