The Omaha Mavericks men's soccer team represents the University of Nebraska Omaha in NCAA Division I men's soccer competitions. The Mavericks compete in The Summit League.

History

The men's varsity soccer program began ahead of the 2011 NCAA Division I men's soccer season, where Omaha competed as an independent school. Jason Mims was the first coach of the program, who managed the team for first seven seasons of the program's existence. In 2012, Omaha joined the Summit League, where it established itself as one of the top schools in the conference. In the 2016 Summit League Men's Soccer Tournament, Omaha reached the championship, before falling to eventual College Cup finalists, Denver. The following season, the Mavericks reached the final of the 2017 Summit League Men's Soccer Tournament, where they beat Denver in the championship, earning their first ever NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament berth. There, the Mavericks were eliminated in the first round by FIU.

On March 28, 2018, head coach Jason Mims resigned to accept to an administrative position with Major League Soccer club, Real Salt Lake.[2][3] Mims was replaced by veteran manager, Bob Warming on April 2, 2018.[4]
