UNI notes: Panther women overcome latest challenge
CEDAR FALLS -- Nine managed to rise as one last weekend for a University of Northern Iowa women’s basketball team that continues to navigate past all obstacles thrown its direction.
Playing without five-year senior starter Ellie Howell, UNI (15-8, 8-3) used its depth to secure road wins over an up-and-coming Loyola team, 71-65, Friday night and Valparaiso, 64-56, Sunday.
“I continue to be extremely proud with how this team is able to overcome adversity,” UNI coach Tanya Warren said. “For us to be able to go on the road and win two without Ellie is a huge testament to this team. … We got contributions from all nine kids who were suited all weekend.”
