‘Battle of the Sexes’ review 5 EMMETT LYNCH Sports Writer
The Northern Iowa Volleyball team is on another three-game win streak, coming off a loss to Missouri State that ended their previous seven-game win streak. This was UNI’s first 7-0 start in league play since the start of the 2014 Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) slate. The Panthers bounced back to another streak beginning in the McLeod Center against Drake University for the university’s ‘Pink Game.’ UNI swept Drake with a 3-0 win. Junior Bri Weber led the way with 21 kills and 14 digs. Weber’s 21 kills were the most for a Panther in a three-set match since 2008. Sophomore Karlie Taylor recorded her 16th straight double-figure kill match and her sixth consecutive double-double with

10 kills and 20 digs. Junior Piper Thomas added 11 kills and 22 attempts with no errors against Drake. Volleyball went on to quickly defeat the Loyola Ramblers on 80’s night in the McLeod Center in another 3-0 sweep at home. UNI is still perfect against the Ramblers in the all-time series with an updated record of 17-0. The Panthers posted a .379 hitting percentage in the matchup with 43 kills. Karlie Taylor added another double-figure kill match recording 12 kills, and Piper Thomas continued her dominance in the MVC with a .733 hitting percentage and 11 kills. The Panthers got a run for their money against the Valparaiso Crusaders in a tightly-contested match in UNI’s Purple Pride Game. See VOLLEYBALL, page 6 GABRIELLE LEITNER/Northern Iowan

Associate Professor John Wiles, the faculty advisor for SingPins, had the idea of a contemporary a cappella group. “We changed the name, GABRIELLE LEITNER/Northern Iowan came up with a logo and then Will Lubaroff, senior music education major, plays the guitar during a we started doing the pop SingPins performance. music,” Roskens said. “In the Glee club, we have donators, and went with it. that really like to sing and and they help with funds.
