Mavericks Shutout Drake to Remain Undefeated

OMAHA, Neb. - After getting rained out on Thursday, the Mavericks returned home for the first time in two weeks and promptly shutout Drake 2-0 today. This is the third time in five matches this year Omaha has not allowed a goal.

Omaha remains undefeated at 3-0-2, while the Bulldogs are still looking for their first win as they drop to 0-4-2.

How it Happened 

  • Omaha wasted no time getting started as Marissa Gohr took a pass from Alyssa Kellar and sent it just above the outstretched arms of Drake's keeper in the second minute of the match to make it 1-0.
  • 30 minutes later, Grace Crockett took a corner and through traffic managed to find Cece Behrens in front of the net where she knocked in the header for her first goal of the season to grow the lead to two.
  • The Mavericks defense took care of the rest as they limited the Bulldogs to just nine shots, including just four in the second half. In the 83rd minute, Drake got its best scoring opportunity of the night as Eve Blakey fired one to the side of the goal, only for Maja Baun to preserve the shutout with an incredible diving play.

Inside the Box 

  • Gohr's goal at 1:38 was the fastest goal Omaha has scored this season. She also joins Kellar as the second Maverick this season to reach two goals. The two lead the team with seven and five points, respectively.
  • With only nine shots allowed, this marks the third time this season Omaha has held an opponent under 10 shots. Likewise, for the fourth time this season, the Mavericks have allowed less than five shots on goal with only four today.
  • For the fourth time this season, Mia Reedtz Rehde Olesen and Baun split time in goal. In those four matches they have allowed just one total goal while making 12 saves.
  • Grace Ostergaard and Regan Zimmers once again led the defense as the duo each logged 90 minutes. Out of a possible 950 combined minutes, the two have totaled 946 minutes through the first five matches this season.

The Mavericks only have one match next week as they host Portland State for a Friday night match at 6 p.m.
