Omaha Teams Wrap Up Tournament Play as Spring Sports Take Center Stage

It was a busy weekend for Omaha sports fans, with postseason hockey wrapping up and college basketball and spring athletics keeping the momentum going.

Omaha Hockey Concludes NCHC Tournament

The Omaha Mavericks closed out their run in the 2026 NCHC Tournament on Saturday, March 21. Omaha entered the quarterfinal round as the No. 8 seed and faced top-seeded North Dakota in a best-of-three series.

North Dakota advanced in the series, bringing Omaha’s postseason to a close. The tournament, held March 6 through March 21, marks the end of conference play as teams now await any potential national tournament opportunities.

March Madness Action Continues

The NCAA men’s basketball tournament moved into second-round play on March 21 and 22. Creighton advanced earlier in the tournament and remains part of the national conversation as the bracket narrows.

With games unfolding throughout the weekend, local watch parties and campus gatherings have kept the energy high across Omaha. The Sweet 16 matchups are set for later this week.

Spring Sports and Soccer Season Ahead

Spring sports are also drawing attention. Creighton softball hosted weekend games at Creighton Softball Stadium, giving fans a chance to enjoy warmer weather and collegiate competition.

Meanwhile, Union Omaha is preparing for its 2026 season at Morrison Stadium. The move to the 6,000-seat venue near 19th and California signals a new chapter for the club and adds to the growing list of major events hosted in the NoDo district.

As March winds down, Omaha’s sports calendar shows no signs of slowing. From college tournaments to pro soccer preparations, the city is firmly in spring mode.
