The Omaha Mavericks women's basketball team, also called the Nebraska–Omaha Mavericks,[n 1] represents the University of Nebraska Omaha in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. The Mavericks compete in The Summit League and play in the new on-campus Baxter Arena, built prior to the 2015–16 season.[3] The Mavericks are now eligible for the NCAA tournament, NIT, or Summit League Tournament, having completed the school's four-year transition from Division II to Division I, which began in the 2011–12 season.[3]
During the 2021 Summit League women's basketball tournament the Mavericks, seeded eighth, beat number one seed and nationally ranked 22nd, South Dakota State Jackrabbits 52–40.[4] In the Semifinals they beat Western Illinois 69–55[5] to reach the Summit League Championship for the first time in school history.[6] The Mavericks would end up losing to the South Dakota Coyotes and the Coyotes would earn the spot in the NCAA Tournament.[7]
