CEDAR FALLS — The biggest challenges also come with the biggest rewards for the streaking University of Northern Iowa volleyball team.
The Panthers, 17-7 overall, 8-3 in Missouri Valley Conference play and winners of seven straight after weekend victories over Evansville and Southern Illinois, head into the toughest road trip of their league season with matches at MVC co-leaders Wichita State Friday and Missouri State Saturday.
UNI is just one loss behind those two teams in the standings, which means the Panthers could make a big move in the league race with a pair of victories.
