PAPILLION, Neb. – Union Omaha today announced the signing of forward Alex Steinwascher, pending league and federation approval. Steinwascher, a 2021 Division II All-American, adds another dangerous scoring threat to the Owls’ lineup for 2023.

Steinwascher proved himself to be one of the most dynamic offensive players in NCAA Division II at the University of Indianapolis, where he began his collegiate career. The back-to-back Great Lakes Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Year and two-time First Team GLVC Conference selection recorded 14 goals and 10 assists in three seasons for the Greyhounds. He then made the jump to Division I in 2022 at Xavier University, playing in every match and adding another 3 goals to his career stat line. Most recently, Steinwascher spent time with the Milwaukee Wave out of the Major Arena Soccer League.

“Alex is a hard-working forward with a nose for goal,” Omaha Head Coach Dominic Casciato said. “He’s bought into our culture of putting the team first and impressed throughout our pre-season in both training and games. I’m delighted to add him to the group and watch him grow in his first professional season.”

“Alex is a hard-working forward,” Omaha General Manager Peter Marlette said. “I expect him to bring his teammates into the game and allow those around him to excel offensively, while also causing defenders problems himself. He had a great college career at Indianapolis and Xavier, and I’m looking forward to seeing him at this level.”

“Union Omaha has been a very welcoming place, and I’m looking forward to my time here,” Steinwascher said. “Let’s make this year a long and enjoyable season!”
