SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – As the third week of league play approaches, Omaha remains in control atop the standings with a perfect 6-0 record after sweeping Kansas City at home last weekend. The Mavericks will look to carry that momentum into Grand Forks, where they face North Dakota in their next conference series.
 
Game one of the doubleheader between OMA and UND is set for Sunday at 1 p.m. CT, with the series concluding Monday at 12 p.m. CT.
 
St. Thomas, tied for second in the standings at 5-1, had its series with North Dakota State rescheduled to April 14-15 due to weather. South Dakota State, also tied for second at 5-1, will now play its series against the Roos in Kansas City after it was relocated from Brookings due to weather conditions.

All league games can be streamed on the Summit League Network.
