Sarah Ehlers has been riding horses for 12 years. As a student at UNO, she’s kept her love for the sport alive with UNO’s Equestrian club.

Intense, tiring and rewarding are the three words that junior Stew Buckley would use to describe being part of UNO’s Ultimate Frisbee club. Founded nearly 10 years ago, the Ultimate Frisbee club has been flying high ever since.

Club sports at UNO

Through Campus Rec, UNO students have the opportunity to participate in more than a dozen intramural sports. At HPER and around campus, students form leagues to play flag football, basketball, floor hockey, volleyball and other sports.

The women’s tennis team achieved a team goal by defeating a fellow Division I team on Monday then followed it up with victories in two of their final three matches.

In the second to last weekend of competition, the UNO women’s track team didn’t show any signs of slowing down. Two days of competition at the Doane Relays earned the Mavs one meet record that was just shy of a school record, six event wins and eight personal bests.

Two weeks after UNO ended North Dakota State’s 16-game winning streak, the Mavs have yet to find their own winning ways and have lost eight of their last nine.  In the middle of a stretch that includes 15 games on the road, the Mavs lost games last week 8-4 and 1-0 to Minnesota, then 4-1, 4-3 and 5-4 in 11 innings to future Summit League opponent Oakland.

One of the goals for head coach Mike Saniuk and the UNO tennis teams in 2012 was to get a win over a fellow Division I team.  As the week began at Western Illinois, that goal was quickly slipping away.

When Head Coach Dean Blais looks down his bench next season, a familiar face in Omaha hockey will no longer be by his side.  Assistant Head Coach Mike Hastings, who spent 15 seasons with the Omaha Lancers and the last three with UNO, was named the head coach of the Minnesota State-Mankato hockey team last Saturday.

In 2012, the women’s golf team had only done as well as a ninth place finish at the IPFW Spring Classic on April 2.  For most of the season, UNO finished tournaments outside the top 10.

Men’s tennis went from peaks to valleys in midweek action, sweeping Concordia 7-0 then facing defeat by the same margin in a 7-0 loss to Creighton.  Wednesday the Mavs rolled, winning all singles and doubles matches en route to the sweep of Concordia.  Less than 24 hours later the tables were turned, and it was Creighton getting the clean sweep against UNO.
