How to Watch No. 10 Nebraska Softball vs Omaha with Preview, Breakdown, Streaming

In what some experts say could be a Regional preview, the No. 10 Nebraska Cornhuskers are hosting the Omaha Mavericks for two games – one on Saturday and one on Sunday.

The two contests are part of a three-game series that the in-state rivals are playing, with the third game being played in Omaha later in the season.

Nebraska is coming off a two-game sweep of South Dakota State on Thursday night and a 3-1 weekend in Oklahoma that featured a two-game split with Oklahoma State before the third game was cancelled due to inclement weather.

Outlook

The Huskers should beat the Mavericks twice, but a split wouldn't be the end of the world. Maddia Groff is one of the nation's best pitchers, and losing to her wouldn't be horrible.

However, Nebraska should go 2-0 and remain in the top 10 with a clean sweep of the weekend's four games.
