UNI organizations Clery Report reveals 2010 help build house for crime statistics for UNI Extreme Makeover AJ CASSIDY

Staff Writer

The number of crimes at the University of Northern Iowa remained fairly consistent from 2009 to 2010, as seen in the 2010 Clery Report statistics released on Sept. 28. The report tracks a wide variety of crimes, including violent crimes, sex offenses, hate crimes, robberies, burglaries and drug, liquor and weapons law violations. “When you take a look at the totals, we are down in some areas; we are up in some areas; we’ve remained fairly consistent,” said Dave Zarifis, UNI Director of Public Safety. “I’ve always made the comment that UNI is a very safe campus, but we’re not crime-free.” The Clery Act mandates an annual crime report for any institution at which

Black Male Leaders Union wins Pride Cry

TEHRENE FIRMAN Home Edition,” loves getEditorial Staff

It was just weeks ago that the University of Northern Iowa held a pep rally to get the Cedar Valley excited about “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” coming to the area. Now, after a week of volunteers donning their signature blue shirts and white hard hats worked 24 hours a day to complete the project, the West Union, Iowa, family is settled into their new home. According to the show’s officials, Audrey Gibbs, a legally blind widow in Fayette County, and her six children, were in dire need of a new place to live, as their farmhouse “didn’t work for the family” with its caving ceiling and toilet that didn’t function. Ty Pennington, the host of “Extreme Makeover:

Pennington is able to share that passion everywhere he goes as he travels across the nation, but was especially excited to come to Iowa and start the project, saying he “couldn’t wait.” “There’s a reason it’s called the heartland,” said Pennington. “Midwesterners have a lot of heart and that’s what brings them out in record See EXTREME MAKEOVER, page 7

that happen, but I feel safe here,” Schwendinger said. Despite the low number of reports of violent crimes, Zarifis stressed the importance that the statistics are merely statistics and not necessarily a definitive account of crimes that occur. “I’m not naïve enough to think that there are things that happen that don’t get reported — even with the amount of sexual assaults (reported) that there aren’t more that DAVE ZARIFIS occur.” For Zarifis, it would not be a shock to see an increase in the reporting. Instead, he feels it would be a welcome change. “Less than one in 10 victims report, so when that number goes up, we should not be alarmed,” Zarifis said. “We should say, ‘OK, what is it that we’re doing that is eliciting that support? What’s going right that allows victims to feel safe in reporting?’” Chris Apling, a senior political science major, is encouraged by the efforts of public safety officials at UNI. “I think they’re taking steps in the right direction,” Apling said. “I think there is still a lot to be done in terms of safety, but I’m glad they’re taking those steps.” But despite those efforts, Apling would like to see more proactive policy and

communication from the Department of Public Safety. “Instead of giving us last year’s results, maybe give us more updates on current crime rates,” Apling said. Zarifis emphasized the importance of students using the Public Safety resources at their disposal. For example, the Public Safety website contains a crime log, which reports all current arrests. UNI also presents a Uniform Crime Report to the FBI each year. According to Zarifis, the UCR and Clery reports are similar, but differ in terms of presentation. The Clery report includes all anonymous reports, areas outside campus jurisdiction and lumps crimes into broader categories. The UCR breaks out the statistics into more specific crimes, but only contains data from arrests made by campus police.

The pollution solution

s a society, our ability to overconsume has become an addiction. We have somehow rationalized, or been trained to rationalize, our own environmental ignorance. It’s as they say, “the first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one.” So, America: we have a problem. Today, you can’t walk anywhere without seeing recycling bins and solar-powered trash compactors. The only problem I have with the receptacles is the fact that they are no more than a monument of self-righteousness, tactfully delaying the inevitable. Ignorance of the truth helps recycling give us that false sense of accomplishment. The idea behind recycling is a fanciful fib: Once upon a time, the world had too much trash, so the people used magic to make it disappear and they lived happily ever after. Oftentimes, people neglect to put much weight behind the two words that come before recycle: reduce and reuse. For those of you unfamiliar with the principle of Occam’s

razor, it states, “Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily,” or, the simplest explanation is most likely the correct one. So it appears the only cure for our addiction to overconsumption is to actually reduce the amount we consume. Mindblowing, I know. There is a common misconception that “technology” is synonymous with “better,” while technology simply means it is a new process. As we all know, “new” doesn’t necessarily mean “better.” A group of English textile workers in the 19th century called the Luddites understood the negative implications of technology. The Luddites would destroy new mechanized looms because it threatened not only their jobs but their livelihood as well. We have started to see a trend in society such that those who have the means to consume more have a higher social status, and to reuse something is frowned upon. From such a young age, we are told that if we want to be accepted, we need to have all new clothes, the coolest shoes and anything else our peers have. These ideas were socially

NATE KONRARDY konrardy@uni.edu

reinforced to the point that most people have no idea where their seemingly inherent belief comes from. There needs to be a change in the social acceptability of innovation and technology. We should be quicker to encourage, or at the very least be more hesitant to criticize, those who are willing to reuse and who do so creatively. Many of us live with the mentality that ignoring a problem is the best way to get someone else to fix it. There are always going to be negative consequences to the things that we do, but that is no reason to ignore them. In fact, it is all the more reason to educate ourselves so we can make an informed decision. I’m not suggesting we take up our torches and pitchforks like the Luddites, but I am saying it is crucial for us to critically examine our interest in the environment and what we are willing to invest to revive it. In the words of Captain Planet himself, “The power is yours.”

GUEST COLUMN October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it is really disappointing to see so much pink this and that, but so little action. Sure, public expression of support for victims is extremely worthwhile, and action to prevent breast cancer is even more worthwhile. The current culture and marketing surrounding cancer is nearly entirely “fight for a cure,” “fund the cure” and a lot of focus on the individual, with such sayings as “you do this (self-exam)” and “you be careful,” but almost nothing on identifying known causes and eliminating them from our economy. I am grateful for all the research that goes on for better treatment, but wouldn’t it be better if the known and suspected causes were eliminated to begin with? Renowned biologist Sandra Steingraber’s book “Living Downstream” is a detailed look at cancer and the environment and a must-read. She takes a detailed look at her entire life growing up in central Illinois and what all was happening there, leading to her bladder cancer at age 21. She cites a 2007 study by the American Cancer Society where 216 chemicals known to cause breast cancer in animals were documented. Of these, 73 are found in food and consumer products, 35 are air pollutants and 29 of them are produced in the United States in large amounts every year. In 2008, the conclusion of a consensus statement, signed by many cancer researchers and community advocates, submitted to the president’s cancer panel, read: “The most direct way to prevent cancer is to stop putting cancercausing agents into our indoor and outdoor environments in the first place.” Wow, we have a lot of work to do, and pink talking will not take us very far unless supported by actual action. Let’s look around, identify what we can actually do to start with and show we are competent to get some simple things done. Let’s start with lawn chemicals. Cosmetic use of lawn chemicals is banned in Canada and in all K-12 schools in the state of New York. If UNI has a chapter of “Colleges Against Cancer,” let’s act on that commitment and do the simplest possible thing: show that gold dandelions and purple violets are the true and natural Panther lawn, and these “weeds” will not hurt you. We could do it easily and liberate students, staff and visitors from unnecessary exposure to relatives of Agent Orange, which are part of common lawn weed killers. Once we have shown we can do that, then we can start with schools and parks, and move on. Food and other consumer items next. Not too long ago, when confronted with troubles of lead, we did not just say, “Well, parents should be careful or do a selfexam.” We banned lead from key parts of our commerce and we are all better for it. Let’s get busy. Those interested can contact me so that we can get something tangible going.

EDITORIAL CARTOON

LETTER TO THE EDITOR There is a problem with this “choice” Last week I read an article on CNN entitled “Stupid voters enable broken government.” The article, by LZ Granderson, is an interesting one, although I disapprove of some of the points he makes. One clear argument he pushes throughout the article can summarized in one of his simple phrases, “Let’s face it. A lot of us are just plain stupid.” He is referring to America’s poor decisions regarding politics. His chastising article was intermingled within other political pieces about the rise of the Republicans due to the public disgust in the Democrats, and, as always, the low approval rate of Congress. Granderson’s idea is to encourage voters to pay more attention to the politicians and know what type of people they are. It is to the public’s benefit that we make better decisions. This is a wonderfully impossible idea by Granderson.

PAGE 5

He fails because there is no better decision to be made. In many races across the country there is statistically a 50 percent chance either a Republican or a Democrat will be elected. Republicans and Democrats run in races uncontested by other parties, and if there is a contest, the candidate has such meager support that they rarely factor into the final ballot decisions. I voted last year in the state election; I chose my candidates by which one I would prefer. I did not actually like them. All students on campus at UNI should be voting next fall, but what is the point of voting for someone you do not approve of ? My advice: take a look at the other parties. UNI has a Libertarian club; there are socialist organizations around campus also. Find the party you like and stop making forced decisions at the ballot box.

rhetoric from sociologists and anarchists. We are jaded to the point of misdirection. Take, for instance, a common argument against socialism: the lack of motivation — resulting from the equal dispersal of wealth — for anyone to have jobs requiring higher education. The argument claims that no one would have a reason to pursue the difficult occupations. Such a claim simply shows how misguided we have become. So many believe that a job can only be had for its salary. The thought of someone obtaining employ-

ment for intellectual fulfillment or internal satisfaction is completely foreign. For money is the only motivation in this country. All economic systems have their issues, but I can’t help but feel like ours is turning our country into something it shouldn’t be. We are overflowing with greed and stained by the privatization of business. The good of man falls secondary to our bank statements, and altruism is the exception rather than the norm. In our world, it is all about dollars and cents. Which, unfortunately for most, makes no sense.

‘Carne Viva’ based on Postville factory raid RACHEL ZIDON Staff Writer

Since the May 2008 immigration raid at the Agriprocessors meat packing plant in Postville, Iowa, University of Northern Iowa Spanish professor Jennifer Cooley has been paying close attention to Postville’s untold stories. For the last three years, Cooley has traveled to Postville, often once a week, as well as to Guatemala to interview eight women who worked at Agriprocessors during the raid. With the help of communications professor Karen Mitchell, Cooley has written “Carne Viva in Postville: Stories of Madres and Monarchs,” a play based on these interviews. The play will be performed in UNI’s Interpreters Theatre (Lang 040) at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 13, 15, 20, 21 and 22. The eight women Cooley’s interviews focused on came together in the aftermath of the raid to form a weaving cooperative to support their families, using the traditional patterns and techniques of the Mayan culture. Cooley said that she conducted the interviews and wrote the play “intent on telling a side of the

story that hadn’t been told.” Freshman Danielle Brunson is a cast member of “Carne Viva in Postville” and said she originally got involved with the show for “the opportunity to do some college theatre.” Bruson said that learning more about Postville and the people affected by the raid made the play much more personal. “After going through the audition and having the directors tell us more about the purpose of the show and that the script was based on true stories, I wanted to do the show to help share a side of the immigration issue that is often not heard,” said Bruson. Graduate student and cast member Nicholas Chizek said the play will give UNI students “a chance for self-reflection into their own thoughts on the controversial issue (and) to view a different culture’s response to what happened, not just the American viewpoint.” Mitchell, who helped write and stage “Carne Viva in Postville,” agreed that the play will help students think about their views on immigration. “I believe that if you want to understand an issue, you need to hear firsthand from the people who are most

directly affected. We can’t do that in performance, but we can come close,” said Mitchell. “These are stories that have not been heard ... (these are) stories they wouldn’t hear on the news. These aren’t sound bites.” “Carne Viva,” which can be literally translated as “living meat,” references the lives of the immigrants who worked at the Agriprocessors plant on several levels. Cooley said that on one level, the title is “a direct reference to the fact that they worked in a slaughterhouse” and on another, it serves as “a reference that people were treated like pieces of meat.” Cooley noted that when U.S. officials came in to conduct the raid on the plant, along with automatic rifles, some were armed with cattle prods. The title also refers to women being looked at like pieces of meat, in reference to sexual abuse that took place in the plant, a topic the play will discuss. “Carne viva” can also be translated as “open wound,” which, as Cooley explained, “is a really good metaphor for how long it takes to recover from something this traumatic.” Cooley said that learning

about Postville is especially important for UNI students, since the raids took place less than a hundred miles away from Cedar Falls. “This is part of our daily life ... our lives can be so intertwined with people who are from other countries,” said Cooley. Cast member and senior Allison Krois also noted Postville’s impact on Iowa.

“What happened in Postville was a horrific event. Not only did this raid impact the workers at the plant, it impacted an entire community,right here in Iowa,” said Krois. “Regardless of your view on immigration, I believe this play offers an opportunity to see a perspective not always seen by the public.”

MOVIE REVIEW

‘What’s Your Number?’ is definition of rom-com EMILY HEYER Film Critic

After a stressful week of school or work, going to the movies for a relaxing comedic experience is just what any self-proclaimed doctor would order. One of the best things about today’s romantic comedies is that we know what to expect – and we can sit back and enjoy the show, not feeling guilty about the popcorn with extra butter because our abs are getting a workout from all the laughing. This week’s “What’s Your Number?” is such a romantic comedy. The movie stars comedic powerhouse Anna Faris – who made all those “Scary Movies” funny – as Ally Darling, a recently unemployed woman who marches to the beat of her own crazy little drum. Ally, right before a wedding shower for her younger sister (Ari Graynor), reads in article that says most women have an

average of 10 lovers before finding ‘The One.’ Ally, sitting pretty at 19 – well, after one too many shots with the ex-boss, 20 – decides she needs to make a change. Gathering inspiration from her sister, who rekindled a romance with a high school sweetheart at their high school reunion, Ally decides to look up all her exes and see if they, like wine and her sister’s fiancé, have gotten better with age. To do so, Ally enlists the help of her Casanova neighbor, Colin, played by our very own “Captain America,” Chris Evans. Colin agrees to help Ally if she will help him continue his playboy ways and scare off the women he brings home in the morning. It soon becomes clear that these two characters, the quirky and cute Ally and the dashing Lothario Colin, are “meant to be,” and the rest of the film is just a funny and wacky road to them figuring

it out. On that road, we revisit Ally’s exes, each more enjoyable than the last. Among the favorites are a zit-riddled, puppeteering Andy Samberg playing Ally’s first (and if you can manage to watch that scene without singing the uplifting anthem “I Just Had Sex” made famous by Samberg’s The Lonely Island and Akon, give yourself a high five). When we find out Gerry Perry (what a great name) has lost the zits but not lost his puppets, Ally quickly moves on. We meet Simon, the Brit played beautifully by Martin Freeman (“Sherlock”). He brings a balance of dry wit to Faris’ comedic bombshell that’s a welcome reprieve for the short time we see him. Perhaps the best “revisit” is in the form of Disgusting Donald. Ally sees Donald over and over, and with the number of exes Ally has, it’s nice to see the consis-

tently awkward encounters with this ex, especially since Disgusting Donald is played by Faris’ real-life husband, Chris Pratt, of “Parks and Recreation” fame. While all these characters are the pretty pieces of paper floating around, Faris and Evans become the glue

It’s just enough to make you go “aww” without leaving the movies sick from all the sweetness.

”

that hold the whole picture together. Their relationship grows into a natural friendship, perhaps the first that Ally has ever had in her life. As Colin starts to realize Ally is the one for him, the “aww” moments come more often, making it the perfect amount

of sappy for any rom-com. Faris and Evans play off each other’s strengths, Faris as the boisterous comedic star and Evan as the quiet superhero behind her, poking and prodding to hit all the best moments. Best moments, besides their stairwell “debriefs” of the night’s “ex-quest,” also come in the form of a great game of strip basketball. Throughout the film, Evans’ character seems to always have a lack of clothing – it’s enough to make you throw in the towel (so really, congratulations to Papa Stark for getting our “Captain America” all those muscles). Although the movie is a great new rom-com and a perfect distraction from a busy week, the premise of the entire film might make some people stop and take a look at our society.

Steve Egger, associate professor of industrial technology, could not have been more impressed with the work the students put into last week. “(They got involved at a) professional level, not just with hammering nails and lifting things – these people actually got involved with the planning process, safety, productivity, ect.,” said Egger. “So it’s like I always say – ‘a dynamic experience.’” Brendan Miller, a senior construction management major and president of the Construction Management club, thought getting involved with “Extreme Makeover” was “a great experience – especially from the construction standpoint alone.” “There’s a much bigger picture overall – volunteer-

ing your time for the family – but it was really good from our end just because we’re wanting to go into the construction industry,” said Miller. “It was really nice to see the level of production that we were able to do and get an overall feel of how to build a house in one week, which is really unheard of.” The members of the UNI Construction Management program not only helped with the labor, working some 14-hour days, but were part of the safety aspect of the project as well, preventing hazards on the worksite. Although Larson Construction made sure there was a safe working environment for everyone involved overall, the students took over and worked throughout the night when Larson’s safety director wasn’t around. “I think Larson deserves a big ‘thank you’ because they really took our Construction Management program students under their wing and let them be involved on a more special or intimate level,” said Ben Ashburn, an indus-

trial technology instructor who also volunteered at the build. The experience volunteering was not only a way for the students to get hands-on experience with what they’re learning every day in the classroom, but a way to serve their community as well. “It was great to be a part of (the build) to actually help the family,” said Tim Bratvold, a senior construction management major and secretary of the Construction Management club. “We’re glad to be able to use the skills that we’ve learned throughout our college career and give back to a family and actually help them.” “These guys are the real deal,” said Ashburn. “They just don’t do calculations in the classroom – they go out and do it.” The Construction Management students weren’t the only UNI organization to get involved. The interior design program at UNI, which emphasizes “health, safety and welfare through design, as well as designing for those who need quality and safe design but may not be able to afford it,” were also involved with the “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” project. “When I found out that ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ would be coming to our area, I knew that this would be an excellent opportunity for our students to learn while helping a deserving family,” said Jillissa Moorman, assistant professor of interior design and interior designer. Moorman said that a large majority of the interior design majors have volunteered the past week, helping at all different stages of the process. They had

so many students volunteering Monday, Oct. 10, that the interior design classes did not meet in their regular classroom setting. “Helping individuals through design and architecture is so important and our program really emphasizes this,” said Moorman. “A big part that I am stressing is that even after the show is gone, there will still be other families and individuals who need safe, quality design and our students can still have the opportunity to help deserving individuals because they are the future of design.” After all of the hours that each volunteer puts in, the moment of revealing the house to the family finally takes place. “We’ve seen the house and so has the crowd – the bus is moved into place late on reveal day so the crowd has seen the house already,” said Pennington. “The only people who haven’t are the family and that’s what’s so exciting. It’s their new home and no matter what it looks like, we know that living in it will give them peace of mind and oftentimes safety and protection. Isn’t that what we all want – a safe place to live?” At the end of the day, it’s seeing the family’s faces that is a big aspect of what makes the week so awesome for Pennington, as he always watches their faces as the bus moves, “(locking in) on the one who I think will be the most surprised.” The “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” team has hit the road to change another family’s life, but not before providing dozens of individuals with the opportunity to serve a family in need, and providing that family a new home.

The No. 12-ranked University of Northern Iowa volleyball team swept Bradley University 3-0 by scores of 25-22, 25-11 and 25-18 Friday evening in the McLeod Center.

nine of her own. Setter Bre Payton dished out 30 assists in the match to help the Panthers get the win. UNI looked a little sluggish in the first set, and neither team could pull away from the other until the very end. “I felt we were a little impatient to start with. They (UNI) were forcing a lot of things,” said UNI head coach Bobbi Petersen. “You want to start strong every time.” There were seven ties See VOLLEYBALL, page 9

Panthers rout Minnesota, 48-0 TAYLOR SEVERIN Sports Writer

On Saturday of Homecoming weekend, the University of Northern Iowa women’s rugby team did not disappoint as they continued their undefeated season by routing the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers 48-0. The UNI defense was the driving force of the victory, which says a lot considering the team scored 48 points. The defense was resilient, playing 17 straight minutes without surrendering a single score. “Most teams would have cracked and at least given up a tri, but man I was proud of the way they battled and just played off each other. It

was pretty impressive and defense is something we have been focusing on, so I was very proud,” said UNI head coach Steve Murra. While the defense was strong, UNI played just as well on the other side of the ball. Mariah Hinton seemed to just have that extra step on the outside to create some room for her and her teammates to score. Hinton had two scores for 10 points and a couple of big runs down the sideline. “The game plan was to punch it inside with our forwards, and then burn them out with our backs,” said Hinton. UNI did just that and they had complete control See RUGBY, page 9

SOCCER

UNI soccer beats CSU-Bakersfield, 3-1 ALEX MILLER Sports Writer

After falling short against Illinois State University last Tuesday, the University of Northern Iowa women’s soccer team came back to defeat the California State University-Bakersfield 3-1 on home turf. According to Panther head coach James Price, the Panthers “protected home field” and managed to break through with a win. UNI (5-7-2, 1-2-0 MVC) started the game off slowly, allowing Bakerfield’s Leilani Skinner to get a goal in the 11th minute following an assist by Jessica Fogeltanz. However, 10 minutes later, the Panthers were on the board after an own goal by the Roadrunners. Heading into halftime, the game was tied at one goal apiece. Early in the second half, UNI goalie Lauren Potzman prevented the Roadrunners (2-9-1) from getting the goahead goal, and just as the ball rolled towards the net, UNI’s Kelsey Dodler cleared it to keep the game at 1-1. Shortly thereafter, Dodler threaded a pass to Claire Clark, who sidestepped the keeper and finished with a shot into the back of the net. With a 2-1 lead, the Panthers continued to push, preventing the Roadrunners from com-

kicker Tyler Sievertsen connected on a 48-yard field goal attempt with 3:12 remaining in the first quarter. The Panthers would take the lead for good at 10-3 when redshirt freshman running back David Johnson found the endzone from five yards out with 13:58 remaining in the second quarter. Johnson was just eight yards shy of his third consecutive 100 yard rushing game, carrying the ball 20 times for 92 yards and one touchdown. Sycamore running back Shakir Bell, who entered the game with the most rushing yards in the Football Championship Subdivision, compiled 145 yards on 14

ing back. Following the second goal, the Panthers tallied another in the 74th minute off a cross by Missy Journot straight to the head of Allie Brees, putting UNI up 3-1. Overall, the Panthers shot six-of-seven, whereas Cal State Bakersfield shot eight-of-15. “I was pleased with the second goal, and obviously the third goal, (it) made it safer for us,” said Price. Though she allowed one goal, Potzman also had seven saves throughout the game. Roadrunner keeper Kym Gause had four saves while

also allowing three goals. CSU-Bakersfield’s physical presence was most notable on the pitch, but it was unable to solidify them with a draw. Overall, the Roadrunners had 11 fouls compared to UNI’s seven. Also, UNI managed five corners, whereas the Roadrunners only took one. UNI also defeated conference foe Indiana State Uuniversity 2-0 Sunday afternoon. The Panthers return to action Oct. 15 when they host the University of Evansville at 2 p.m.

carries in the first half before leaving with a concussion. “(Bell) got dinged up … I think it was a helmet-to-helmet (hit), but I couldn’t really tell. We held him out (of the second half),” said Miles. “I believe he could have played, but I will never jeopardize one of my players’ health for anything.” Indiana State would find the endzone just before half time, but the missed extra point by Little kept the score at 10-9 in favor of UNI heading into the locker room. Sievertsen would add a 37-yard field goal with 10:35 remaining in the third quarter to extend the UNI lead to 13-9. The game would not feature another score until Rennie connected with Sinkfield late in the fourth

quarter. Rennie completed 10 of his 14 pass attempts for 142 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. He also carried the ball 17 times for 93 yards. Senior linebackers L.J. Fort and Jordan Smith led the UNI defensive effort with 12 tackles and 10 tackles, respectively. Fort and Smith each forced a turnover in the game, with Fort forcing a fumble and Smith intercepting a pass. Senior defensive lineman Ben Boothby recorded seven tackles and two sacks for UNI. The Panthers will return to action Saturday when they travel to Brookings, S.D., to face the South Dakota State University Jackrabbits (2-4, 1-2 MVFC). The game will be televised on ESPN3.com. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.

in the set and the Panthers found themselves down 17-16 at one point. It would remain close until a 5-1 UNI run gave the Panthers a 24-20 lead. The Braves closed the gap to 24-22, but a service error on Bradley’s Annie Cave would give the first set to UNI 25-22. UNI had all of the momentum in the second set and recorded a .682 attack percentage. “I thought we offensively got back in our rhythm,” said Petersen. “I think we just started relaxing and playing our game.” UNI recorded two separate 6-0 runs late in the set to help record a 25-11 victory and to take a 2-0 lead in the match.

over the Gophers, following the trend of the past several years. The last time UNI lost to Minnesota was in 2001. With 30-mph winds Saturday morning, a majority of the Panthers’ scores came earlier in the match while they were playing with the wind at their backs. “We knew coming in that we needed to score right away

The Panthers were able to close out Bradley in the third set behind another 6-0 run that pushed the lead to 22-12. The Panthers would take the set 25-18 and the match 3-0. “(We) got a little more on the patient side. I thought Bre (Payton) was able to distribute the ball a little bit better,” said Coach Petersen. During Friday night’s match, Payton notched her 700th career kill as a Panther and became the only current player in Division I women’s volleyball to have a stat line consisting of 4,000 career assists, 1000 career digs and 700 career kills. The Panthers will attempt to extend their Missouri Valley Conference winning streak to 44 when they travel to Des Moines Friday night to take on the Drake University Bulldogs. with the wind, and then play defense in the second half,” said Murra. Both Murra and Hinton agreed that winning on Homecoming weekend made the victory even more special. The Panthers improved to 5-0 (2-0 Midwest League) on the season and will try to keep their winning streak going when they travel to Eastern Illinois University on Oct. 22.
