OXFORD, Ohio – Omaha can finally look forward to playing on home ice.

The No. 18 Mavericks (17-13) wrapped up a three-week road swing in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference Saturday with a 4-2 loss to Miami (6-20-2) at Cady Arena in their regular-season road finale.

Omaha, which has played only one home series since early December, will have its final six games at home against nationally-ranked opponents as it tries to move up from sixth in the league standings.

Miami, meanwhile, closed to within three points of seventh by recording its first sweep of the season.

The RedHawks got a goal from PJ Fletcher 34 seconds into the game and led for most of Saturday's finale. The Mavericks scored twice on eight power-play chances and outshot Miami 11-8 in the final period as they attempted to pull even.

Miami's Chase Gresock was awarded a goal with 11 seconds remaining after he was tripped by Omaha's Brandon Scanlin while streaking toward an empty net. The Mavericks had an extra attacker on the ice.

"There are no excuses right now," Omaha coach Mike Gabinet said. "We've had a tough road trip, but nobody's going to feel sorry for [us]. We have to look internally and keep finding ways to grow and get better."

Jonny Tychonick pulled the Mavericks even 12:13 into the first when his blast from the point with a man advantage found the net. Cameron Berg scored Omaha's second power-play goal – his team's fifth of the weekend – 8:21 into the second after Miami built a 3-1 advantage after getting a fortunate bounce.

After Grescock had put the RedHawks in front at the first intermission, Ryan Savage scored when a RedHawk shot ricocheted off Tychonick's skate and came right to him. It ended up as the game-winner.

Miami finished with a 31-27 advantage in shots on goal, even though Omaha's 80 total shots attempted nearly doubled that of the RedHawks (43).

"I believe in our team. I believe in the guys in our locker room," Gabinet said. "It was a tough weekend here.

"We have to look in the mirror and find ways to get better here, regardless of the travel situation or how long we've been on the road for. We have to continue to look for ways to improve, both individually and collectively."
