Mavericks Hockey Rivalry, Dodge Street Upgrade, Robotics Wins, and Community Events - Omaha Local Pulse
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Saturday, February 14th. We kick off with sports from last night at Baxter Arena, where our Omaha Mavericks men's hockey team fell 5-2 to the number 8 Denver Pioneers in their series opener. Denver rallied with four straight goals, but we held tough early with power-play strikes from Samuel Huo and a late one from Ryan McCleary. The rematch happens tonight at 6pm, so grab tickets and cheer them on. Over in women's hoops, our Mavericks face St. Thomas today, and men's basketball hosts Denver after their big win elsewhere. Baseball kicked off with a 7-2 loss to Arizona State, but freshman catcher Brody Sexton smashed a homer in his debut. Creighton battles Villanova in conference play too.
Shifting to city hall, officials approved a new traffic plan for Dodge Street near 72nd, easing commutes with added turn lanes thatll cut delays by 20 percent starting next week, directly helping our daily drives.
Weather today brings partly cloudy skies with highs near 45 degrees and light winds, perfect for Valentines Day outings at Lauritzen Gardens or Heartland of America Park, though bundle up for morning chill. Expect the same tomorrow before a warmer front midweek.
In business news, a new coffee roastery opened on Leavenworth Street in South Omaha, creating about 15 jobs, while the old bookstore on 24th near Aksarben Village announced its closure after 20 years.
Community events ahead include the Midtown St. Valentines Market tomorrow at Slowdown, and a free family skate at Ralston Arena on Monday.
Local schools shine with Burke Highs robotics team taking second at state, and quick crime note: Omaha police arrested two in a burglary near 33rd and California yesterday, with no injuries reported, keeping our neighborhoods safer.
For a feel-good lift, listeners loved hearing how Westside High students raised $5,000 for the food bank, delivering meals to families downtown.
