CEDAR FALLS — Traveling with what coach Bobbi Petersen characterizes as a road warrior mentality, Northern Iowa’s volleyball team showcased its talent with a trio of sweeps away from the McLeod Center this past week.
The Panthers held Valparaiso to .082 hitting, and freshman Kaylissa Arndorfer stepped up with lead attacker Karlie Taylor out due to injury during a Monday night victory. UNI’s players returned home from that match at 3 a.m. and were in classes five hours later.
Then on Thursday, the Panthers left for another road swing. After coming out flat during a victory at Missouri State, Petersen saw her team put everything together against Sourthern Illinois.
