UNI women's basketball suffers first loss in two weeks to Southern Illinois

CARBONDALE, Ill. – A rough first quarter would doom the UNI women's basketball team on Friday as they saw their six-game win streak skid to a halt against the Southern Illinois Salukis.

The Panthers were held to their lowest quarter of scoring against Southern Illinois Friday making only four baskets in the first 10 minutes of play. The slow start and a last-second Saluki block would keep UNI from completing the comeback in the second half.

"Our slow start in the first half made it a tougher game," said Head Coach Tanya Warren of the loss.
