Those who cannot find relief from ailments using traditional methods now have another choice with a new business that specializes in alternative healing: TLC Connection.

The business, owned by Laurie Creery, was expanding so much at its previous location at Thunder Ridge Mall that it has now moved to a new location on Clay Street.

TLC Connection celebrated their grand opening at this new location on Friday, Nov. 11.

The new location will include Creery’s Lotus Boutique, a gift shop that will feature items for sale such as Young Living essential oils and diffusers.

There will also be a room for workshops, a meditation room and a room where Creery performs therapeutic healing services.

Creery has received a grant that allows her to treat eight to 16 college-age students per month at no cost to them.

If demand is high, Creery said she is willing to work with students even if numbers exceed.

UNI wrestling has officially begun its regular season after starting their home opener with two wins. In the West Gym on Nov. 11, the Panthers came out on

top against the University of Nebraska-Kearney (UNK), 43-0, followed by Utah Valley with a final effort of 24-12.

In their 43-0 victory against UNK, Jay Schwarm got the night going for UNI after he pinned Vlad Kazakov just seconds over the one minute mark. Wrestling at 149 lbs,

Max Thomsen then pinned Walker Johnson two and a half minutes into the match.

Those were the only two falls UNI had against UNK, but the Panthers continued to show their dominance throughout the night.

For the average 18-19 year old, college can be quite a struggle at times.

But for Jordan Allen, the juggling act is drastically different.

Allen is a freshman digital media journalism major who is f ighting Stage 4 Non-Hodgkins Buritt ’s Lymphoma.

She was diagnosed in September.

Non-Hodgkins Burkitt’s Lymphoma is a type of cancer that starts in the B-cells, or immune cells, and quickly spreads. It becomes dangerous if left untreated.

Allen wanted to become involved in many organizations but struggled due to the limits of her body.

Despite her battle with lymphoma, Allen keeps a positive mentality.

“Being positive about it is all that you can really do,” Allen said. “Yeah, I could sit here and be sad and cry about it every day, but I’m living, right? That’s what matters. I have my sad moments and it’s okay because I need them; I need to cope one way or the other.”

Allen discussed how even though many think she is always positive, she has times where she struggles with the circumstances she has been given.

However, Allen said that her message to others is that though bad things can happen to you, living through it with positivity is important.

Even with the lymphoma disrupting her UNI experience, Allen has found strength in her family and those in her dorm hall.

vent. The listening sessions also provided an opportunity for Clinton supporters and Trump supporters to come together, discuss their differences and begin moving forward.

“Our goal was to open a place in the minds and the hearts of everyone who participated, no matter how they voted, no matter their political affiliation, to hear the other side – to engage, honestly, in deep listening to understand a point of view different than their own,” Interim President Jim Wohlpart said.

The sessions, led by Interim Vice President for Student Affairs Jan Hanish, took place Wednesday, Thursday and Friday on campus. The Northern Iowan

attended Friday’s session in the Presidential Room in the Maucker Union. There were about 30 in attendance, with students and faculty coming and going throughout the session. Both Clinton and Trump supporters were in attendance.

“Fortunately, we were in fact able to create this open space of democracy, where many different perspectives were respectfully shared and where individuals had the opportunity to learn and grow,” Wolhpart said. “We heard from students, staff and faculty afterwards that we needed to do more of this kind of healing work on our campus so that we can come together as one community.”

In the days following the election, there were a num-

“I want students to know that they have a place to go,” Creery said. “And whether they come to me once a month for life coaching, or they want to go back into the meditation studio other times and just sit and have peace and quiet because everything is so busy around them, this is a safe haven.

“TLC Connection is not for tender loving care even though that’s what’s here.

It’s for Troy my husband, Laurie myself, and Chris my son,” Creery said. “It all started because of my family.

I want people to know that there are people out there that truly do understand and that want to help.”

Creery was inspired to start up the business when her son was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

“The reason that I actually got into this […] was that my son was physically assaulted on the University of Iowa campus four years ago in January,” Creery said.

“It changed his life forever, and it changed my husband

and I’s life forever.”

Creery’s son was diagnosed with PTSD, high anxiety and depression and suffered from low self-esteem due to the trauma he experienced from the assault. He took a semester off of school and moved back home to Cedar Falls.

“Basically, doctors wanted to put him on medications – sleeping pills, anxiety pills, depression pills – and that was making him lethargic,” Creery said. “And he just really couldn’t function.”

Creery said she began to research alternative medicine for mental health issues and came across Young Living essential oils. She purchased 10 different oils for her son and a diffuser to see if it would help.

“Little by little they started to make a big difference,” Creery said.

After that, Creery began to research holistic medicine, a form of healing that concerns the entire person in mind, body and spirit.

The first type of holistic medicine Creery explored was Reiki. Creery became certified as a Reiki master teacher. Reiki is a Japanese

technique that promotes healing, peace and relief from pain and anxiety. Reiki helps to restore the natural f low of the body, mind and spirit by releasing negative energy or blockages that cause pain.

“So, because it had such an effect on people because it replenishes with positive energy – it allows the body to relax, rejuvenate, restore – I thought […] ‘I’m going to work on my son with this,’” Creery said. “I did Reiki on him too, because his mind is always racing with the anxiety. That started to show some positive side effects.”

Creery continued to get trained in multiple services, becoming certified in five more techniques through a program that Young Living oils offers.

The services that TLC Connection offers include: Angel Reading, Animal Reiki, Aromatherapy, Chakra Balancing, Emotional Release Technique, Life Coaching, Raindrop Technique, Reiki Energy Healing, Spiritual One-on- One Guidance, ThetaHealing and Vita Flex Technique.

Some students across campus, particularly those who supported Hillary Clinton during the presidential election, are still coming to terms with Donald Trump’s upset victory. Social media lit up late Tuesday night in both celebration and despair as it became obvious Trump would capture the presidency.

Northern Iowa Democrats President Jack Ave simply put, “I have no words,” on his Facebook page after Trump’s victory.

ber of alleged discriminatory incidents on campus that were reported on social media.

Wohlpart addressed these incidents, saying, “We do not tolerate this kind of interaction at the University of Northern Iowa, as it demeans and diminishes other human beings and, as a result, our entire campus community.

“It is everyone’s role to speak out when they witness this type of interaction and to let individuals know that this is not who we are as Panthers. When incidents such as these occur, we all become something less. We should be striving, in all that we do, to be more, to be better, to dream big about our future and to come together to make that dream come

true,” Wohlpart said.

Clinton and Trump also began the efforts to bind the wounds in the aftermath of the election. Trump stated during his victory speech, “Now it’s time for America to bind the wounds of division; we have to get together. To all Republicans and Democrats and Independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people.”

Clinton followed up Wednesday morning during her concession speech, saying, “Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and a chance to lead.”

Trump will remain president-elect until Jan. 20, when he will be inaugurated into office.

Shakespeare plays co-authored SYDNEY KUNZ Staff Writer

Elizabethan playwright Christopher Marlowe, author of Doctor Faustus has recently been given credit as a co-author of William Shakespeare’s Henry VI plays in Oxford University Press’s new edition of Shakespeare’s work, which is being released this month.

Marlowe has long been suspected to have been involved in the writing for the three Henry VI plays.

However, Marlowe has not been given credit for his inf luence on the work until now.

The expected edition of Shakespeare’s works has been researched by academics with modern computerized tools that suggest that Shakespeare collaborated with other authors much more often than previously speculated.

Jesse Swan, professor of English and coordinator of LAC2A humanities, said he is excited about this news for what it means for the future.

“It is extremely exciting, not least for advancing the ways we think about evidence and reality,” Swan said. “The real news here promotes the use of various Digital Humanities techniques to explore how we can know humans across

time and space.”

Swan also noted that this is likely just the beginning of continued computerized research involving Shakespeare’s works.

It is extremely exciting, not least for advancing the ways we think about evidence and reality.

Jesse Swan

Professor of English

“They will continue to be explored for all kinds of inf luences, including authorial,” Swan said. “What seems interesting to me is the potential to use our new Digital Humanities techniques to reveal inf luences on the texts that we haven’t been able to appreciate without these techniques – inf luences such as those of individual actors or those of individual printing presses.”

Swan said that the idea of Shakespeare working with other authors for many of his works is nothing new.

“It has been well known for a long time that Shakespeare collaborated and that the texts we call Shakespeare’s have been shaped by many people and interests,” Swan said. “What’s new here is that

the interests of digital representation, manipulation, knowledge and pleasure are being applied. One effect of this is to make ‘Shakespeare’ even more important and central in the story we tell of our lives and our existence.”

While this idea may be nothing new, the credit being given to Marlowe in the New Oxford Shakespeare collection has brought the topic to new light among Shakespeare and Marlowe fans alike.

Richard Vanderwall, assistant professor of English, stressed how common it was for writers to collaborate during Shakespeare’s lifetime.

“The research will never be able to be fully proven because there is no ‘Official’ to decide this,” Vanderwall said. “The fact of the matter is all the writers of the time collaborated. It is highly probable that Shakespeare could be credited with co-authorship of others’ works as well. This was a rough and tumble profession; actors were considered to be criminals, and they lived in the worst district of London.

The fact that they would steal from each other or help each other here and there is very probable.”

While the past may always be shadowed in mystery when it comes to who

Christopher Marlowe has received co-authorship credit for three Henry VI plays that were previously credited solely to William Shakespeare.

should be given credit for various pieces of literature, Vanderwall said that this is not the heart of the matter.

“Many books a year get published about Shakespeare, and a lot have made claims in them about Shakespeare not being ‘Shakespeare,’ so to speak, because of these ‘outside inf luences,’ but the main

thing to take away from this is that it does not change the work itself,” Vanderwall said. “The Henry plays are still those plays that have been enjoyed for many, many years, and the root of this is that no matter who wrote what, the art is still art and will continue to inf luence readers.”

resources, and reporting milestones.”

The f irst supporting goal of the plan, “Diversity and Inclusion,” aims to “provide a campus culture that ref lects and values the evolving diversity of society and promotes inclusion,” according to the document.

The plan calls for UNI to attract and retain diverse students, faculty and staff; to build relationships with underrepresented populations in the Cedar Valley, in Iowa and across the world; and to deliver programs, services and events to educate and celebrate diversity on campus.

Wohlpart cited several steps UNI has recently taken to increase diversity, including the hiring of a chief diversity officer in May of this year, UNI’s Diversity Advisory Committee and various diversity events hosted on campus.

The second supporting goal, “Campus Vitality,”

seeks to “enhance resource and facility development to provide an enriched campus life experience which is both environmentally friendly and f iscally responsible.”

Wohlpart said that UNI was becoming more energy efficient and was working to become even more so in the future.

Other issues that this second supporting goal seeks to achieve include campus well-being of students, faculty and staff, infrastructure maintenance, improving UNI’s revenue streams and improving the quality of university services.

The final supporting goal emphasized Community Engagement. The plan calls on UNI to “create opportunities for students, faculty and staff to build external relationships that enhance local and global learning experiences and contribute to the cultural and economic vitality of the Cedar Valley and Iowa.”

Board of Regents approves UNI strategic plan JOSH DAUSENER Staff Writer

On October 20, the Board of Regents approved the University of Northern Iowa Strategic Plan 20172022. The document lays out a new roadmap for UNI, including the university’s vision, mission and values.

Also in the document is the unifying goal “Student Success,” which is tied together by three supporting goals: Diversity and Inclusion, Campus Vitality and Community Engagement.

“It is a new vision for the institution, and the vision says that in five years, here is where we want to be,” Wohlpart said.

The plan can be found in an email sent by UNI Interim President Jim Wohlpart to students on Oct. 21.

“Most strategic plans end up on the shelf. At the end of the year, you pull it down,

you check some boxes and say, ‘Did we live up to it?’”

Wohlpart said. “My interest with the strategic plan is to make it something we’re all living on a regular basis.

We’re all turning to it and saying, ‘Hey, we’re going to put resources here because it’s in our strategic plan.’”

Wohlpart laid out his vision to ensure the new plan was a living document to students in the email sent on Oct. 21. The e-mail announced the creation of a Strategic Plan Implementation team.

Individuals not to blame for Trump

Donald Trump, a volatile, fear-mongering, prejudiced, self-proclaimed sexual predator, billionaire manchild is the president-elect of the United States. And people are very angry for good reason. How do we respond to situations like this? Well, it appears that we must first place blame somewhere.

In the wake of a threatening and confusing time in this country, I hope that your post-election frustration is appropriately concentrated.

To be frank, it’s immature and naïve to place blame on individuals for the election results. Do not blame those that voted third-party or those that didn’t vote at all. Don’t even blame Donald Trump himself.

Individual people did not secure his victory and you must immediately stop perpetuating this idea, as it is false and unproductive.

American institutions did this. All efforts to resist this election should be directed at the systems that

guaranteed this win.

To ensure something like this never happens again, here is a list of institutions that should be blamed and consequently challenged in the face of this disturbing election: the Democratic

about the direction of their party. Prevailing opinion was that in order to have a better chance in 2016, the GOP would have to move toward the middle of the political spectrum to attract more minority voters.

How’d that work out?

Radicalization catapulted the Republicans into power in Washington. A party once seen as being on the

brink of dissolution will likely govern with limited opposition for the next four years. Cries for a moderate agenda fell on deaf ears and the Republicans begin a new term with far right policies operating as the foundation of the GOP’s party platform.

Democrats cannot make the same mistake. It will be tempting to swing far to the edge of the political spectrum. It would be a simple response to fight fire with fire. If the Democratic Party is going to progress, it must stay true to core principles.

One cannot help but repeat Michelle Obama’s “when they go low, we go high” phrase that speaks to the nature of American liberalism. Inclusivity, rationality and compassion are tenets that cannot be sacrificed in a response to a Trump presidency.

This is not an invitation to sit quietly in the face of social intolerance. Instead, it’s a commitment to core ideals to create a lasting

xenophobia.

The fears that Trump has played on would not have garnered so much support had it not been for the deeply-rooted systems of belief that underserve and

discriminate against marginalized populations.

Displaced frustration is a tool used by powerful institutions to ensure their status is not challenged.

An agenda that encourages people to punch down protects the interests of those in power by confining anger and aggression within groups oppressed people, intensifying the effects of their oppression.

Donald Trump’s entire campaign was fueled by displaced anger. Instead of blaming corporate greed and growing wealth inequality for the stagnating wages and frustration that uneducated white men experience, Trump blames people of color, he blames immigrants and Muslim Americans.

Regardless of what side of the political aisle you’re on, blaming individuals is an easy narrative to adopt and use in explaining the intense anger that others feel. I challenge you to instead critically assess systems that work to perpetuate social inequality and work to the demise of democracy.

This way, when we stop trying to pin blame on each other, perhaps we could begin to organize for the purpose of eradicating these systems.

The Republicans sacrificed a part of their own identity with the election of Donald Trump. Adopting far right policies may have paid off in the short-term.

And yes, it hurts to see fear drive our country. But in posterity, the move may be counter-productive and unsustainable. It is necessary for Democrats to

remember the values of the party and maintain them despite suffering a major setback.

Painful losses sometimes prompt massive change within political parties, but this should not be the aim for Democrats. Do not fall into the same trap that ensnared the GOP. Instead, the party should regroup, retool and refocus: learn from past mistakes and build toward future success.

Make them afraid. Make them fear that their old ways of hatred are not welcome in a democracy. Make them fear the land of the free, because freedom must come first and foremost from equality.

Do not run. We are all afraid right now, and we are not the ones who should be.

Protest, but do not raise arms. Break down barriers as they are built. Let them know that hate is not welcome here. And help them see that they do not have to hate.

‘Trippy Panthers’ form Psychedelic Club at UNI SARAH RITONDALE Staff Writer

A brand-new club is creating potential controversies on campus. NISG recently approved the addition of a Psychedelic club to UNI’s many student organizations.

The club’s objective is to take away the negative stereotypes on psychedelic drugs and, according

to junior social science teaching major, Katherine Rinken “educate students on the benefits of psychedelics.”

“It is already a club on numerous college campuses across the nation and we are just trying to start a branch here” Rinken said.

Clubs involving cannabis, psychedelics and other drugs are common amongst university campuses.

One such example is the Cannabis Club at Iowa State University. According to the Des Moines Register, the students “sued school officials after the university’s trademark lincensing office forbade a pro-marijuana group using the Cy [school] logo on t-shirts.”

The students asked a judge to declare that Iowa State violated students’ freedom of speech by banning the school’s logo on the shirts.

According to the club’s Facebook page, “Psychedelic club is a grass-roots organization dedicated to eliminating the negative stigma surrounding psychedelic substances. Our approach is professional in naturewe wish to represent psychedelics on a level that is easily understood by the public.”

Freshman deciding major, Haley Bunnell, sees the positives and negatives of the club.

“I feel like [a] positive would be getting people involved in a club who may not normally join clubs,” Bunnell said. “However [...] I don’t want to promote the use of drugs in

any way.”

Jace Michels, junior anthropology major and founder of the club, discussed how learning about the topic impacted him.

“The knowledge that comes with learning about psychedelics has changed my life for the better,” Michels said. “I know it will help so many other people.”

Some students remain cautious.

“I feel like educating students on psychedelic drugs would be like promoting the use of it. I just don’t see the benefits in using drugs like LSD” said Peyton Obermier, freshman interior design major.

Michels stresses that the club’s goal is not to promote drugs.

“It is extremely important to know that this club does not promote drug usage or give means to accessing drugs,” Michels said. “This is an educational club [... and will] be run by the members who choose to contribute,” Michels said.

The club was officially approved on Oct. 26.

Though Rinken said that there isn’t a set meeting time yet, more information on the Psychedelic club can be found by contacting Jace Michels at michejab@uni.edu, visiting their Facebook page “UNI Psychedelic Club” or visiting their Twitter page at @ TrippyPanthers.

“I’m planting a seed that I hope will continute to grow many years into the future,” Michels said.

to not overthink it because it can cause you to become overwhelmed.

“You have to look in the mirror, smile, and think, ‘today is another day,’ and be grateful for the chance of continuing forward,” Allen said.

Besides her family, others have reached out to Allen, providing support and visiting her.

“I’ve had people visit me from everywhere and people reach out to me from all sides of this world,” Allen said. “I think that’s truly amazing how people from Canada and Seattle and Italy and California are all rooting for me when they don’t even know me.”

Allen is hoping to get on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. Currently, the show has not been in contact with her, but she is remaining patient.

There are several ways you can help Allen get on Ellen, including voting for her to appear on the show at http://www.ellentv.com/ be-on-the-show/ and by tweeting #Allen4Ellen on Twitter.

“Doctor Strange” is Marvel’s best origin so far JOSHUA ROUSE Film Critic

“Doctor Strange,” the newest edition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), tells the story of acclaimed and successful neurosurgeon Stephen Strange. Miraculously performing near impossible surgeries, he accrues much fame, arrogance and wealth throughout his life, until an accident causes irreparable damage to his hands.

He becomes desperate to fully recover from his injuries.

The doctor’s efforts lead him to the temple of the Ancient One, who teaches him the ways of the hidden world of magic and alternate dimensions. But Strange’s lessons are cut short when an evil sorcerer, Kaecillius, seeks to unite the world with the Dark Dimension. Now with little time to master his new found power, Dr. Strange is the only thing standing between the world’s destruction and its salvation.

Directing 4/5 Scott Derrickson was on familiar ground with “Doctor Strange” given his history within supernatural horror films.

It’s interdimensional lore and “out there” setting fit in with Derrickson’s skills in the director’s chair.

Another point that was welcoming about “Doctor Strange” is that, like 2014’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” it is a good entry point for newcomers to the MCU. The movie is able to carve its own name and be a standalone film by itself without beating the audience over the head with reminders that this movie connects to the other Marvel films. While there are a couple nods and Easter eggs that point to the connected universe, these clues are subtle and tactful.

Effects 5/5 The visual effects are a definite highlight of this film.

Not only do they make every fight scene eye-popping with constantly moving scenery and gorgeously rendered magic effects, they also add to the story itself.

While many other movies use CGI and green screen to pad the action or to fill it with scenery sets designers can’t build, the effects in “Doctor Strange” add to the story and give the world of the movie a depth that makes it all the more engaging. This is definitely one to see in the theaters.

Writing 4/5 By now, the MCU has had six origin story films setting up individual heroes that make up a majority of the Avengers team.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

“Doctor Strange,” the newest edition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was released on Nov. 4th. The film has earned a 90 percent critic score and a 91 percent user score on Rotten Tomatoes.

“Doctor Strange” is certainly the most mature and best written of them all. I would even go so far as to say it is the best Marvel movie so far.

The pacing of the plot was incredibly satisfying. We got to know Stephen Strange before the accident and continued to learn about him until the end of the film. While Kaecillius unfortunately fell into the growing pile of “one off ” Marvel movie villains, there was a dramatic depth to him and his motivations that made him more memorable than other villains.

The Ancient One and Strange’s sidekick, Mordo, are complex characters that we continue to learn about as the film goes on, clearly showing maturity and depth to the characters and themes that I wish was in more Marvel films.

Just like the other movies in

the Marvel franchise, there is a steady line of humor throughout the entire film. Unfortunately, most jokes are off-putting and disrupt the engagingly dramatic mood that was set up only moments before. While some do strike comedic gold, most of the quips and jokes feel forced and shoved in to keep up that Marvel brand of character banter that is in all their other films.

Acting 4/5 Just as Robert Downey Jr. is the face of Tony Stark, Benedict Cumberbatch fits perfectly as Doctor Stephen Strange.

Cumberbatch brings a refined talent to the role that shows how much effort he is putting into the character, as well as how much fun he is having with his portrayal of The Sorcerer Supreme.

Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One is amazingly com-

mitted to the role and brings a seriousness and energy that is extremely engaging. Chiwetel Ejiofor keeps up just fine with Cumberbatch and Swinton. The trio gives a fine performance when on-screen together and Ejiofor and Cumberbatch make an excellent pair.

Mads Mikkelsen is dedicated as the ideal-driven Kaecillius.

Mikkelsen’s conviction in the role and the character’s motivations make him a memorable villain.

Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer has decent interactions with Strange as his love interest, although the feelings between them are more evident and believable earlier in the film than later.

Overall Though following the familiar origin story formula, “Doctor Strange” brings spectacular new sights and a much needed dramatic depth to the old recipe.

With another new face joining the ever-growing ranks of the MCU, “Doctor Strange” is certainly a refreshing take on the comic book movie genre.

As with all Marvel movies, make sure to stay all the way until the end of the credits to see both extra scenes.

UNI finishes home season strong BRENNAN WHISLER

Sports Writer

The UNI volleyball played at home for the last time this regular season.

The two matches saw them record their 20th and 21st win on the season. They finished 11-2 at McLeod this season.

UNI started off strong by sweeping Loyola. The last time these two teams faced off, UNI won in five sets by set scores of 25-9, 25-16 and 25-16.

The Panthers then swept the Bradley Braves on Saturday’s Senior Night by set scores of 25-11, 25-19 and 25-17.

The first set against Loyola was arguably the smoothest set of the season for UNI. They started off the set down 3-1, but managed to pull off a 10-0 run and that set the pace for what the rest of the match would be like.

They finished the set off with a 5-0 run. The second set was back and forth until UNI reeled off seven straight points to double up the Ramblers 20-10.

Despite having the same score as the second set, the

third had some major differences.

It was a very back and forth set, which saw multiple lead changes not just ties. UNI went on an eight-point run to help put Loyola away. Once UNI got to game point, Loyola got tough and forced multiple match points until a service error ended the match.

No one player dominated this match, and only three players even reached double digits in a stat category. The one statistical standout was sophomore Kendyl Sorge, who led the team in digs with 16. She also scored four of the nine aces for the Panthers.

The first set against Bradley seemed to flow directly from Friday as UNI had two different 6-0 runs, including the one used to end the set.

The second set saw the Panthers use a few miniruns to go up 13-6. From there, the two teams traded points, with neither team stringing together more than two in a row.

Bradley started the third with five straight points only to have UNI 8-1 rally

to take the lead.

They then rattled off another run of six to get some separation.

Fittingly enough, the final three points saw arguably the two best seniors on the team score.

A kill by Kayla Haneline, followed by an ace by Amie Held, would result in Held finishing off the Braves with another kill. Sorge become one of 16 Panthers to reach 1,000 digs — she had 19 on the night.

In their match agaist Bradley, Seniors Held, Haneline, Lindsey Schulz, Ashlee Sinnott and Jaidyn Blanchfield all made great contributions. Sinnott had two assists and eight digs.

Blanchfield had three kills, one dig and an assist.

Schulz had six kills, two digs and four blocks — three of which were solo blocks. Haneline was strong with eight kills, six digs, helped on three blocks and an assist.

Held got her 30th career double-double with 15 kills and 13 digs and an ace.

The season finale will be Saturday at Indiana State.

UNI also plays Illinois State Friday.

OPINION

Women’s soccer season recap KEVIN DEITRICK Sports Writer

Another year of women’s soccer hits the books as they wrapped up their only postseason game with a 1-0 loss to Loyola. It was a hard-fought season, filled with many ups and downs.

The team finished third in the conference behind Evansville and Illinois State.

The Panthers end the season in the top half of the conference in shots and goals. Sarah Brandt finished fifth in shots, and tied for fourth in goals.

Maddie Lesjak was another great surprise at goalie, finishing with 50 total saves, allowing 12 total goals and obtaining a record of 6-4-1. Lesjak took over for senior Whitney Blunt, who started the first seven games, allowing 15 goals, while saving 28 shots and finished with a record of 2-4-1.

There were a lot of positives

ERIC PFOHL/Northern Iowan

Sydney Hayden (3) dribbles the ball up field and looks to score. Hayden recorded two goals this season and UNI finished third in the MVC.

for the team to hang their hats on. A slow start resulted in a 1-3-1 record after their first five games but then the Panthers kicked it in gear. Over their next seven games, UNI won

six of them, outscoring their opponents 17-5.

The team’s obvious downfall would be their lack of success on the road. UNI was 1-6-2 playing away from home, being

outscored 4-22.

The team’s most impressive win would be remembered as their road victory against Kansas State. This was team’s only road win, and K-State’s only home loss. The game featured a solid outing by Lesjak, who totaled three saves and allowed one goal. Hannah Mcdevitt scored her second goal of the year, and Mary Brandt scored the other goal, her first of the season.

Arguably the team’s toughest loss of the season took place on Sep. 11 when the Panthers traveled to Charleston to take on the Eastern Illinois Panthers. Eastern Illinois finished the season 5-13, and 4-5 at home. EIU was outscored by a combined 10 goals to 30.

Even though UNI struggled on the road, this was a very winnable game.

Lesjak had an outstanding season. As a sophomore she took over for senior Blunt and

had a very solid year. Most notably, during a stretch of three games in September, Lesjak notched three shutouts in a row. In fact, the following three games she only allowed one goal total.

With several seniors graduating, the Panthers were needing a leader; enter Brandt.

Brandt solidified herself as the team’s offensive motor.

Which is why I believe she is the team’s MVP. Brant led the team in goals: (6) points, (6) shots, (44) as well as shots on goal (22).

This season has been filled with ups and downs, positives and negatives. This is a team on the rise under coach Christopher Logan.

The Panthers were a very fun team to watch this year, and have made their school proud.

Look for continued improvement next year, plan on UNI being on top of that conference in 2017.

FOOTBALL

UNI triumphant over no. 19 Western Illinois RYAN NELSON

Sports Writer

The UNI Panther football team was victorious over nationally-ranked Missouri Valley Football Conference rival Western Illinois on Saturday, 30-23. The win

bumps UNI up to 5-5 overall, and 4-3 in conference play. UNI was able to hold the Leathernecks to just 96 rushing yards on the day.

UNI scored consistently throughout the game in each quarter. They were led offensively by Eli Dunne’s

209 passing yards, and 92 rushing yards by Michael Malloy.

UNI scored on the opening drive with a consistent drive of the field, capped by a twoyard run by Malloy. The second quarter saw another long drive by the Panther offense,

and the Panthers took a 13-3 lead at halftime.

In the third, both teams traded blows. In the fourth quarter, the teams both traded more blows, but UNI ultimately slammed the door on the Leathernecks.

Defensively, UNI was

led by Duncan Ferch’s 11 tackles. Karter Schult also chipped in three sacks to add to his nation-leading statistic.

UNI will close out the season next weekend for Senior Day in the UNI-Dome when they face South Dakota State.

Isaiah Patton (right) squares up against UNK’s Richie Miranda (left). Patton beat Miranda by decision with a final score of 8-2.

They won every match in their first contest and did not allow anyone on UNK to score more than six points.

Josh Alber built up almost two and a half minutes of riding time in the first period against UNK. He then proceeded to earn a 15-1 major decision for his first match of

the night. In their contest against Utah Valley, Alber got the first points of the night for UNI after he beat Jarod Maynes with a final score of 20-11.

After Thomsen’s fall in his first match, he followed with three minutes of riding time and earned himself a major decision, 15-5.

157 lbs Bryce Steiert represented UNI for the first time this season. A 7-4 decision against Raider

Lofthouse would result in a 14-3 UNI lead, just five matches into the dual.

After a strong start to the regular season, UNI will compete in the Harold Nichols Cyclone Opener.

Their next home meet will feature sixth ranked Virginia Tech on Nov. 18 in the West Gym. following the dual, UNI wrestlers will be signing autographs for any excited fans.
