There was lots on the line over the weekend in Wildcat Country. The hockey 'Cats were in the first round of the CCHA playoffs, and the men and women's basketball teams were competing in the NCAA Divison II Great Lakes Regional Tournaments in Kentucky. Unfortunately, none of the teams will move on after being knocked out of their respective tourneys.
Mavericks oust 'Cats No.
But Nebraska-Omaha was definitely looking to make its mark. This is the first season of hockey at UNO and they wanted to let everyone know they are serious about the game. After three hard fought periods, the Mavericks got the best of the 'Cats, 2-1. UNO now faces Bowling Green, Tuesday, March 14th for a play-in game. The winner goes on to the CCHA Final Four at Joe Louis Arena March 17-18.
