The University of Denver men's soccer team secured their fifth consecutive victory with a 2-1 win over Omaha, clinching a share of their 10th regular season title. Denver's first-half goals came from Oje Ofunrein, who scored twice within 39 seconds. The Pioneers will host Kansas City next weekend for the Summit League Final, aiming for another trophy and a coveted automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.

By the Numbers
  • Denver's two first-half goals occurred 39 seconds apart, marking the fifth-fastest consecutive goals in the program's Division I history.
  • Oje Ofunrein has now scored 21 career goals, making him the fifth Pioneer in the program's Division I history to reach this milestone.
Yes, But

Despite the victory, Omaha's late goal in the 89th minute highlighted Denver's vulnerability, indicating that the team may need to strengthen its defense in future matches.

State of Play
  • Denver enters the Summit League Final on a five-match winning streak, the longest of the season.
  • The Pioneers have scored 35 goals this season, the seventh-most in their Division I history.
What's Next

Looking ahead, Denver will face Kansas City in the Summit League Final, where they will compete for the championship and an automatic NCAA bid.

Bottom Line

Denver's strong offensive performance combined with their winning streak sets them up as a formidable contender for the upcoming championship, but defensive resilience will be key to their success in the final match.
