About Omaha

Last time out, Omaha played to a 1-1 draw with (RV) Colorado State Friday at Caniglia Field to close out non-conference play.
In the 19th minute, junior defender Jasmyn Brown (Wichita, Kan.) finished off a corner kick from junior defender Grace Bartlam (Rosemount, Minn.) to log her first career goal and put Tim Walters' side on the board early in the opening half. The score was Brown's first collegiate goal, and the fourth Bartlam assist of the 2025 campaign.

In the 71st minute, junior defender Emma Hampton (Urbandale, Iowa) fired a shot on frame, though Colorado State goalkeeper Gray Willson made the save. With two minutes remaining, Mia Casey netted the equalizer for the Rams after a rocket off the boot of Kacie Laurie ricocheted off the crossbar an found its way through traffic.

Senior goalkeeper Charlotte Huggard (Plymouth, Mich.) appeared in her sixth match of the season, recording six saves on nine shots faced.
