UNI women's basketball suffers first MVC loss to Belmont

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – UNI women's basketball suffered its first Valley loss of the season in their first program matchup with the Belmont Bruins 67-61.

A quiet second quarter and a turnover in the final 90 seconds would be the Panthers downfall against the Bruins on Sunday. UNI had its lowest outing from the floor this season but dominated on the glass. Guards Maya McDermott and Emerson Green combined for almost 60% of the Panthers scoring, with 36 points between the two.

The Panthers jumped out to an early eight-point lead at the McLeod Center with two three-pointers from guard Kamryn Finley.
