<div>For Omaha men's soccer, a stretch of three straight losses couldn't have come at a worse time.The Mavericks fell again Saturday evening, getting blanked by Summit League rival Oral Roberts.Omaha generated plenty of offensive pressure with an impressive 21 shots, but only four were on goal and were all stopped by keeper Joao Mesquita.In a tense first half, the Mavericks found themselves trailing Oral Roberts 1-0 at halftime, despite dominating most of the action. The lone goal came in the 13th minute from a surprising free kick by the Golden Eagles. Maverick goalkeeper Nathanael Sallah appeared to misjudge the trajectory, thinking the ball would go out of bounds behind the net, but instead, it sailed in uncontested.That would be Oral Roberts' only shot on goal in the first half, but it was the only one that mattered. The Mavericks, on the other hand, relentlessly pressured the ORU defense, recording nine shots and two shots on goal, but they couldn't find the back of the net.More relentless play from Omaha didn't allow it to break onto the scoring column, with Oral Roberts preserving the 1-0 lead through the full 90 minutes.After falling short in a third consecutive match, the Mavericks face a tricky road to stay in championship contention. They'll likely have to win each of their final three matches and get some help from the teams above them. That road begins next Saturday when they hit the road to face Kansas City, the team currently atop the Summit League standings.</div>
