The Omaha Kings and Queens professional men’s and women’s arena soccer clubs are hosting Royal Family Day this Sunday, March 1. The special Sunday doubleheader will begin with the Kings hosting the Minnesota Blizzard at 2 p.m. Following that match, the Queens will take on the Kansas Astras at 5 p.m. in their final regular season home match.

Royal Family Day is designed to celebrate the community that supports both clubs – and to recognize those who embodies its values. At halftime of each match, one family nominated by the clubs will be honored at center field. The families chosen represent resilience, strength, and “the spirit of La Familia Real.”

To celebrate the event, special in-game giveaways will take place throughout the afternoon, and each guest will receive one complimentary Royal raffle entry upon arrival. Prizes will be awarded every quarter during both games and include exclusive club merchandise, signed items and more.

Tickets start at $10 and are available on the team’s website. Each ticket is valid for both matches.

Omaha softball is 12-1 to begin the season after a 3-1 showing at the Trojan Invitational in Troy, Ala., this weekend. Omaha’s only loss came to host Troy. In the opening game of the weekend against Kennesaw State, Omaha’s pitching staff threw just the sixth perfect game for the program since 2000. Maddia Groff, Alexis Wiggins and Alyson Edwards combined for the perfect game, allowing zero hits and walks, while the Mavericks defense had no errors.

This afternoon, the Mavericks begin play in the Razorback Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark. against the host team and No. 7 Arkansas at 4 p.m. Omaha will face the Razorbacks twice, Kansas, Mid-Major No. 7 Charlotte and Mid-Major No. 22 Boise State this weekend.

Omaha hockey alumnus Jake Guentzel earned a gold medal with Team USA in its 2-1 overtime victory over Canada on Sunday. The win came 46 years to the day after the United States’ last Olympic gold medal in 1980, when it upset the Soviet Union. Guentzel became the first former Maverick to win an Olympic gold medal. He scored one goal in Milan in Team USA’s 6-3 win over Denmark in the preliminary round.

Creighton softball head coach Krista Wood picked up her 600th career win over the weekend with the Bluejays’ 4-0 win over South Dakota in the opening game of the Boerner Invitational. Creighton is currently 5-10 on the season and will take part in the Colorado Classic this weekend, facing Northern Colorado three times and Colorado State twice. Play begins on Friday at 2 p.m. against Northern Colorado.

Omaha baseball sophomore pitcher Maddox Meyer was named the Summit League Peak Pitcher of the Week, the league announced Tuesday, after striking out 10 over six scoreless innings against Arizona last Tuesday.

The Mavericks then went 2-0 in the Tony Gwynn Legacy over the weekend, defeating Western Michigan 8-7 on Friday and 9-4 on Saturday. Thursday’s game against BYU was canceled due to inclement weather.

Now 3-3 on the season, the Mavericks travel to Wichita, Kan. to face Wichita State for a four-game weekend series. The programs will play once each day from February 26 to March 1, with game one taking place at 3:05 p.m. today. Next Tuesday, March 3, Omaha travels to Lincoln for an in-state rivalry bout with Nebraska. Tuesday’s game time is still TBA.

LOVB Nebraska announced on Sunday that it is partnering with the Creighton Bluejays and Omaha Mavericks to host a spring volleyball exhibition match at Baxter Arena on March 28. The exhibition between Creighton and Omaha will take place 30 minutes after the conclusion of LOVB Nebraska’s match against LOVB Salt Lake City, beginning at 4:30 p.m.

Tonight, LOVB Nebraska will attempt to snap a five-match losing streak when it travels to LOVB Houston. First serve is at 7 p.m.

The Omaha Supernovas seven-match road winning streak, dating back to April 12, 2025, was snapped on Sunday in a loss to the San Diego Mojo. Omaha has tied its longest losing streak in franchise history, set earlier this season, at three matches. They then rattled off five straight wins in response to that slide. The Supernovas will look to get back in the win column tonight, when they host the Atlanta Vibe for Galaxy Night at the CHI Health Center. First serve is at 7 p.m.

Omaha hockey will host its annual Leap-For-A-Cure game in partnership with Methodist Hospital tomorrow, February 27, when it hosts Miami (Ohio). All proceeds from in-game donations and the online jersey auction (open now through Saturday, February 28), will benefit Leap-For-A-Cure, a nonprofit that raises awareness of brain cancer and provides education and diagnostic treatment options for brain cancer and brain trauma patients and families.
