About Omaha

Donovan Dowling's side begins conference play after a 2-1 victory at home over SIUE on Sept. 21, Omaha's first victory of the 2025 season.

Graduate student forward Theo Klein (Strasbourg, France) scored his 20th career goal, the game-winner, to propel to first all-time in goals scored at Omaha.

Fellow graduate student midfielder Yoshiki Igarashi (Tokyo, Japan) has recorded an assist in five-straight games and is among the leaders in assists in all of Division I.

Against the Cougars, the Mavs scored twice in the span of four minutes against SIUE in the opening half and didn't look back. 

Sophomore forward Maguire Perkins (Gretna, Neb.) opened the scoring with a 30th minute goal from the middle of the box, his second of the season, off a corner kick by Igarashi. With his first-half goal, Klein ties sophomore forward Bradley Takamo (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) and junior forward Italo Jenkins (Atlanta, Ga.) for the team lead in goals with two in 2025. 

The road Cougars got on the board seven minutes into the second half with a header in front of the Mavericks' keeper by Evan Howard, assisted by Evan Forestier, to cut the deficit in half for SIUE, which slipped to 1-6 after the tilt.
 

Scouting the Opponent

One of four four-win teams in the Summit League through the non-league slate, St. Thomas comes to Omaha having gone unbeaten in three straight fixtures.

St. Thomas has matched its program-best win total from last season (4-10-2) in eight games with nine games still to play.

Omaha is 4-1 all-time against St. Thomas.
