MAVERICKS TRAVEL TO MEMPHIS The UNO Maverick men’s soccer team travels to Tennessee on Tuesday to face the Memphis Tigers at 6 p.m. Memphis is 6-3-1 after a 3-0 win over Florida International on Saturday. Prior to that, the Tigers had dropped three straight after starting 5-0-1. Nebraska Omaha is 1-6-0 and is still searching for its first goal since its season-opening 2-1 win at UMKC.

Mark Sherrod leads the Tigers with eight goals and a total of 18 points. Sherrod has four game-winning goals in the Tigers’ six wins. Liam Collins has set up six goals on the season and is second on the team in points with eight. Goalkeeper Conor Hurley has three shutouts this season. The Coaches Jason Mims enters his first season as the head coach of the UNO men’s soccer program in 2011. Mims comes to Omaha from Penn State, where he was the first assistant for the Nittany Lions in 2010. Prior to that, Mims spent nine years as an assistant coach at Creighton, helping then-head coach Bob Warming, now the head coach at Penn State, create the Bluejays’ program from the ground up. Mims helped lead Creighton to eight straight NCAA tournament appearances and six Missouri Valley Conference Championships. He was a two-time finalist for the AFLAC National Assistant Coach of the Year award, the 2008 MVC Assistant Coach of the Year and the 2008 NSCAA Central Region Assistant Coach of the Year. Mims recruited 10 All-Americans, eight conference players of the year, 21 all-region honorees and 50 all-conference picks at Creighton. He also coached club soccer for six years while in Omaha, winning the Nebraska State Cup each season and qualifying for the national tournament once. In 2007, he was an NSCAA National Youth Coach of the Year finalist and the region coach of the year. A native of Memphis, Tenn., Mims played soccer collegiately at Saint Louis University, where he was a two-time All-Conference USA selection and an NSCAA All-Midwest Region pick in 1997. Mims graduated from Saint Louis in 1999. Richie Grant is in his 13th season as the head coach of Memphis. Grant enters the match with a 113-98-18 record at Memphis. He graduated from Green Mountain College in 1993. Mavs Ready for Challenging Historic Season The 2011-12 academic year will be a year of firsts for all Nebraska Omaha athletic teams because of the Mavericks’ transition to the Division I Summit League. However, no program will experience the trials that the UNO men’s soccer program will go through. While most UNO coaches have had since March to adjust their 2011-12 schedules, men’s soccer head coach Jason Mims has had since his hiring in late April to not only put together a competitive schedule, but also build a team from the ground up, as UNO announced it was adding a men’s soccer program in March. The former Creighton and Penn State assistant worked diligently to compile a talented group of players. He also revealed a menacing 13-game schedule for the young Maverick squad that includes 12 games against Division I teams and just three home games overall. “We want to be able to test ourselves against the best opponents we can possibly play,” Mims said. “We will have to travel more and not have as many home games as we would like, but we are building for the future. This schedule gives us the best chance to be successful down the road.” For Mims and the Mavericks, the first season in school history isn’t about getting results. It’s about getting better and growing as a team. “We know what lies ahead of us,” Mims said. “There will be some growing pains along the way, but we’re going to UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA OMAHA ATHLETICS UNO MAVERICKS 2011 Record: 1-6-0 Head Coach: Jason Mims (1st Year) Alma Mater: Saint Louis, 1999 Record at UNO: 1-6-0 Conference Record: 0-0-0 Last Game: L, 0-4 at Oral Roberts (10/2/11) Website: OMavs.com UNO Mavericks (1-6-0) at Memphis Tigers (6-3-1) Tuesday, Oct. 11 • 6 p.m. • Memphis, Tenn.

Prior to that, the Tigers had dropped three straight after starting 5-0-1. Nebraska Omaha is 1-6-0 and is still searching for its first goal since its season-opening 2-1 win at UMKC.

Mavs Ready for Challenging Historic SeasonThe 2011-12 academic year will be a year of firsts for all Nebraska Omaha athletic teams because of the Mavericks’
transition to the Division I Summit League. However, no program will experience the trials that the UNO men’s soccer program will go through.
While most UNO coaches have had since March to adjust their 2011-12 schedules, men’s soccer head coach Jason Mims has had since his hiring in late April to not only put together a competitive schedule, but also build a team from the ground up, as UNO announced it was adding a men’s soccer program in March.
The former Creighton and Penn State assistant worked diligently to compile a talented group of players. He also revealed a menacing 13-game schedule for the young Maverick squad that includes 12 games against Division I teams and just three home games overall.

For Mims and the Mavericks, the first season in school history isn’t about getting results. It’s about getting better and growing as a team.

focus on getting better each and every day and see what happens.”
Local Talent Dominates First UNO RosterTwenty players have signed on to make up the first UNO squad, highlighted by 15 players from the Omaha area and
three out-of-state players with youth national team experience.In all, 11 different Nebraska high schools are represented on the first men’s soccer roster. Seventeen of the 20
players are Nebraska natives, reaching all the way across the state to Scottsbluff. Mims also locked in the Mavs’ first two international recruits in Vance Rookwood, a midfielder from Kingston, Jamaica who is in the Jamaican U-20 national team pool, and BJ Kabamba, a former Canadian youth national team captain from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Tyler Dixon, an Overland Park, Kan., native whose KCFC Rangers club team just finished third in the nation, is the lone out-of-state domestic signee in the class. Dixon was a member of the 2006 U.S. U-14 national team camp.
The Mavs’ first roster consists of 15 freshmen, four sophomores and one senior. Mims searched all over the city, state and country to find talented players with local ties to be a part of the first Maverick team.
Tough Schedule Awaits Mavs in First SeasonUNO opens the season Aug. 26 at 2010 Summit League regular-season champion UMKC and returns home two days
later for the first home game in program history against No. 24 UC Irvine on Aug. 28 at 5 p.m. The Anteaters spent most of last year ranked in the top 10 in the national polls, won the Big West regular-season championship and finished 14-3-3 with 11 shutouts. The Mavs’ historic home opener will be played at the UNO Soccer Field near the Chili Greens Sports Complex.
The Mavs’ inaugural schedule includes two teams that have won NCAA Division I national championships (Santa Clara, 1989, and SIU Edwardsville, 1979). UNO will face one 2010 NCAA Tournament qualifier (Santa Clara), and in their first four games the Mavs will play three teams that won either a conference regular season or tournament title last year (UMKC, UC Irvine and Santa Clara).
Following its first home game, UNO will play at Summit League opponent Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne on Sept. 4, then travel to California for games at 2010 NCAA Tournament qualifier Santa Clara and San Jose State, Sept. 9 and 11, respectively.
The Mavs return home on Friday, Sept. 23, for a 7 p.m., game against Mercer under the lights at Werner Park. The outfield at Werner Park will be converted into a soccer field for the Mavs’ first-ever night game.
UNO follows up with an Oct. 2 game at Summit League competitor Oral Roberts before a trip to Memphis on Oct. 11. The Mavs close out their home schedule on Friday, Oct. 14 against fellow first-year program Fort Hays State. The Tigers are the only Division II team on UNO’s schedule.
UNO closes the slate with four straight road games. On Oct. 16, UNO plays at Illinois-Chicago, then the Mavs head back to Illinois to play SIU Edwardsville on Oct. 25. UNO ends its season with a November trip to Florida. The Mavs play at Jacksonville on Nov. 4 and finish at Stetson on Nov. 5.
UMKC, Oakland Tabbed as Summit League Favorites in Preseason Poll UMKC, The Summit League’s 2010 regular-season champion, and Oakland, last season’s league tournament champion, were chosen as co-favorites for the 2011 Summit League title as selected by a voting of league coaches. Both teams collected 32 points to tie for the top spot with Oakland holding a 3-2 edge in first-place votes. UMKC finished first during 2010 Summit League play with a 4-1-1 league mark and 13 points. Oakland, who finished third in the regular season, posted consecutive tournament shutouts to win the 2010 Summit League Championship. Western Illinois finished third in the poll with 23 points, including one first-place vote, followed by Oral Roberts with 21 points and one first-place vote. Rounding out the poll was Eastern Illinois, who returns to the Summit League in 2011, and IUPUI at 15 points and IPFW, who collected nine points. Regular-season play begins on Aug. 26 with the Summit League schedule starting Sept. 23. The top four teams in the regular season standings will vie for the Summit League Men’s Soccer Championship, Nov. 11 and 13 at the Durwood Soccer Stadium and Recreational Field on the campus of UMKC. The tournament champion earns the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Men’s College Cup.
Mavericks Reclassify to Division I in 2011-12 Nebraska Omaha announced in March 2011 its plan to reclassify from NCAA Division II to Division I, beginning with the 2011-12 school year. UNO, which was previously a member of the MIAA, accepted an invitation to join the Summit League and will compete as a full-fledged member with a regular-season conference schedule in 2012-13.
