The Greenville Triumph will battle it out at home versus the Union Omaha team with playoff spots on the line as the season draws to a close. Saturday’s opponent, Union Omaha, has been on the rise in form and in the table, moving into the second seed heading into Saturday. The Nebraska side looks for its sixth consecutive win this weekend to break the league record previously set by Lansing Igniter’s winning streak. The Owls have a threatening offense, tallying 13 goals in the past five matches. Despite a looming attacking presence, Omaha also conceded six goals during that time.

We start back to action, and Union has had three great shots on goal but returning Goalie Jarred Mazzola has made some great saves to keep Greenville in the game.
31' – Omaha moves ahead just before the hydration break.

The Triumph give up another goal and go down 2-0 but are able to get a goal with minutes left in the game at Paladin stadium, but it would not be enough as they go down 2-1. The Triumph are still in the playoff hunt, but will need to finish strong to make it in.
91' – Labovitz cuts the Omaha lead, 1-2 with minutes left to play!
