CARBONDALE, Ill. – The UNI volleyball team overcame travel issues and a resilient effort by the homestanding Southern Illinois Salukis as the Panthers finished the week with a 3-2 victory Saturday at Davies Gym. The Panthers won with set scores of 25-18, 25-17, 15-25, 23-25, and 15-11.
UNI's scheduled trip for Friday night from Springfield, Missouri to Carbondale, Illinois was cancelled due to circumstances beyond its control, and the Panthers needed to make a long day-of drive to the match which was delayed from 5 pm to 7 pm to allow UNI enough time to arrive and warm up for the contest.
