Eastus’ late goal lifts UNI soccer to thrilling 3-2 victory over Omaha

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa --- UNI soccer snatched perhaps its most impressive win of the 2023 season on Sunday afternoon, downing Omaha 3-2 in a back-and-forth thriller. The Mavericks, a 2022 NCAA Tournament participant, scored two second-half goals to erase a 2-0 UNI lead before Maddie Eastus knocked in the game winning goal in the 83rd minute.

The Panthers continued their unbeaten start to the 2023 season and are now tied with the 2017 squad for the longest unbeaten streak in program history. UNI improved to 5-0-1 with Sunday's win and are guaranteed to end the weekend in first place in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC).
