Box Score KEARNEY, Neb. - The Mavericks opened a four-game road trip today with a 5-2 win over in-state opponent Nebraska-Kearney.

Omaha is back to a game under .500 at 6-7, while the Lopers lose their third in a row to fall to 6-9.

For the first time this year, the Mavericks swept the doubles round with a trio of quick victories in which no duo ever trailed. Mikhail Korkunov and Bryan Kuntz got things started with 6-1 win in the first match, followed by Christian Trevey and Pavan Uppu with a 6-4 win and Ethan Gaubert and Caleb Peterson with a 6-3 victory.

Uppu would be the first on the board in the singles round as he bested Aaron Osmond for the second time today 6-2, 6-2. UNK would take two of the next three matches with Omaha's Gaubert picking up its one win after coming back from a 2-4 deficit in the second set and winning in tiebreakers 7-5.
