The ceremony featured various speakers, a playing of the National Anthem by trumpet and a National Roll Call, during which the names of veterans and current armed forces members

censure.” Allen, in a statement released on Oct. 24 addressing the grievance against DeSoto, said he “strongly disagree(d) with the decision made by the professor in this case.” “We have been working with the student involved from the beginning, and continue to work with him to help ensure that he won’t be penalized for serving his country…” Allen continued, referring to the fact that Roethler filed the grievance after he missed an exam due to an out-of-state National Guard drill. In his letter, Fichtenbaum wrote that as the university’s procedures eventually established, “Professor DeSoto neither altered Mr. Roethler’s grade nor took any other action that was either harmful
to Mr. Roethler or in violation of university policies.” Fichtenbaum, referencing a Nov. 2 article in the Northern Iowan, also said DeSoto has received multiples threats, something Roethler said he did not want when he filed the grievance —he only wanted to see a policy created. Fichtenbaum also said DeSoto’s car was vandalized. According to Fichtenbaum, Allen’s actions were retaliatory against DeSoto for her public criticism and resistance to many university actions. “I am known as an outspoken critic of the UNI administration,” DeSoto said in a Nov. 2 Northern Iowan article. “I fear that your rash action in condemning Professor Desoto and your failure to retract your public statements once the full story had been established have not only endangered Professor DeSoto

personally, but have had a chilling effect on academic freedom and free expression at UNI generally,” Fichtenbaum wrote to Allen in his letter. Fichtenbaum said a “principle tenet of academic freedom is the faculty’s right to independently evaluate student performance within the context of policies and procedures established through a process of shared governance.” “Your unfortunate decision to ignore your university’s own procedures and to pass judgment in the press has made a mockery of due process at UNI,” Fichtenbaum continued in his letter to Allen. Fichtenbaum called upon Allen to “issue a public retraction” of his initial statement and to “employ the university’s public relations staff to restore Professor DeSoto’s good name and UNI’s reputation.” He also said Allen should personally reimburse DeSoto for the damages done to her vehicle and that he holds Allen personally responsible. Power said he hopes the Iowa Board of Regents “takes actions to ensure shared governance for faculty, to ensure due process for faculty and students and to remedy the wrongs that have occurred in the past year.”

were called and a moment of reflection took place. A reception for the new Military and Veteran Student Services Center followed the ceremony. The center is temporarily located in 102 East Bartlett. Maj. Kristy Rose, an ROTC instructor, said she has noticed a change in the way citizens have treated military personnel since she first enlisted in 1998. “When I first got in, I don’t recall anybody ever thanking me for my service,” Rose said. “I don’t remember anybody ever going out of their way to have veterans’ events outside of veterans’ organizations. “What I remember is when I came back from Iraq in 2004, suddenly it was like the whole world was different,” Rose continued. “It wasn’t because civilians suddenly recognized my uniform as different — it was that the perception of the United States military was changing, and support was growing for people in uniform … I remember being absolutely stunned by the number of people who would approach me on the street and say, ‘Thank you for your service,’ or would offer to buy me a meal or would open a door for me. It became more of a celebration on Veterans Day to recognize service members where I didn’t feel like that existed the first five years I

was in the service.” Sean Stricker, a junior psychology major who is enrolled in the ROTC program, said Veterans Day has meant a lot to him from the time he was a kid. “I had a grandpa who was a Marine and my dad was in the Navy,” Stricker said. “It’s always been a lot to me to remember the people that gave so much for us to be able to live free and speak of what we want. “It’s changed for me since I joined the Army because now it’s less about everyone else and thinking about me being included into that group of people,” Stricker continued. “Sometimes I still don’t feel worthy because so many more men have done such braver things than I have in my short Army career. I hope one day that when I’m old and gray I can stand equal with my dad and my grandpa and everyone else who gave their life for America.”

During the panel, faculty members asked veterans about their experience at UNI and how they could enhance the learning of veterans returning from duty. Faculty also asked how elementary students should be exposed to the experiences of veterans. Gibbons advised that teaching majors should “be aware of what students you have,” as there is often a drop in grades when a parent is deployed. Benson said professors at UNI have been very accommodating of the needs of veteran students. He spoke about his experience involving an improvised explosive device that caused him to become deaf in his left ear. He said professors made arrangements to allow him to sit toward the back of the classroom where he feels most comfortable and on the side of the classroom from which he can hear. He was also allowed to skip viewing certain videos in his classes containing graphic content from Iraq

and Afghanistan. However, Myers said there was “still room for improvement” in UNI’s veteran relations. She said that while the university intends to provide needed services to veterans, it is “not sure how.” Myers specifically mentioned the university’s awkward implementation of the requirements of the GI Bill, which allows returning veterans to receive credits toward their tuition at colleges and universities. McKay agreed with Myers, saying that while the university is “uncertain of how to approach (providing services to veterans),” it is doing a “phenomenal job.” When the question was asked of how veteran students could best handle the transition from service to college enrollment, several panel members advised taking downtime.
“If I had taken six months off, I think I’d have been more prepared for some of the things that happened to me,” Benson said. Hind reminded veterans to actively seek all the benefits available to them. “I had a GI Bill that expired,” Hind said, talking about his decision to immediately return to the work force after coming home from Vietnam. He said he regretted that decision. “If it’s out there, use it,” Hind said. One faculty member had advice for the returning veterans on how to cut the distance between military and non-military students at UNI. “Non-veteran students really hold (veterans) in awe,” the faculty member said. “When you see that distance, see how you can reach through that distance.”

Are we set on ‘easy’? ANTHONY MITCHELL ayomitch @uni.edu

President Barack Obama celebrates his reelection on Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012, in Chicago, Ill.
Don’t get comfortable The election is finally over, but the work is not done. After countless hours of organizing, volunteering and getting out the vote, President Barack Obama has been reelected. Same-sex marriage is legal in two more states, and has been protected from being banned by two other states’ constitutions. Bruce Braley, Jeff Danielson and Bob Kressig have all been reelected, and Justice David Wiggins retained. Democratic control of the Iowa and U.S. senates has been maintained. Activists have worked tirelessly to elect progressive candidates up and down the ballot with various levels of success. In
DAVID POPE poped @uni.edu
many ways, this election was a victory for progressives. But the work is not done. Basking in the relief of victory should not cause us to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the actions of this government. I know you are tired of the constant calls, the political emails, the barrage of ads on your television, your radio, your Facebook and YouTube. I know you are sick of people like me with clipboards standing outside of University of Northern
Iowa buildings and asking you if you are registered to vote here in Cedar Falls. I know, for those of you who are more active, that you are exhausted from all of the hours of canvassing, phone banking, registering voters, reposting political information online and motivating your friends. Believe me when I say that I am sick of all of this too. I am also exhausted, even though I did less work than many activists on this campus. But now is not the time to disengage, convinced that all is well in our communities. The work is not done. Think back to the elections of 2010. During that election season many of us
worked to elect Democratic, progressive candidates and we saw defeat at state and national levels. The failure was painful, but we found our motivation renewed. Oftentimes a victory is more dangerous than a defeat, because we take solace in the fact that we won. We think our work is over, and we disengage from an issue that has surely been, in our minds, resolved. We’ve been appeased; we get comfortable – and set ourselves up for greater failures. Don’t get comfortable. The work is not done. A Democratic victory is a relief, but it is far from the end of the struggles < See ELECTION, page 5
What really changes (a reflection on the effect of the election) Elections are over. The deluge of vitriolic commercials has ended, people are rejoicing or mourning the outcome and everyone looks to see what change will come. Whatever changes do come will be changes that reflect what is temporary and not those things that stay the same. The results of this election changes the holders of some titles and offices while others retain the titles and offices they already held. The results reflect the beliefs of American citizens, the changes in social values and culture. (Sadly, most people will forget how elated, depressed or apathetic they are about the election results by Presidents Day.) In the end, nothing truly important changes because of the elections. People are still born and they still die (at least the last time I checked). People still pursue virtues and vices, or apathy. Politics, religion and sex are still practiced and are still the root subject of numerous arguments, discussions, alliances and divisions. In the Bible, the author of
EMILY O’LOUGHLIN emolou@uni.edu
Ecclesiastes expresses the point poignantly when writing, “Is there anything of which one can say, ‘Look! This is something new’? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time” (Eccl. 1:10, NIV). The election results will not drastically change the existence of government or war, the consumerist economy or strong individual beliefs. That is up to Americans as individuals, as any lasting largescale change in society is dependent on whether individuals in America choose to accept or reject a belief, a principle or a practice. (Although it is also strongly impacted by those who have created unthinking masses and manipulated them.) The election of this or that official does not mean that the individual
is the Antichrist and the end of the world is upon us. Throughout history, so many predictions have been made about the end of the world and (later) so many people have been accused of being the Antichrist that continuing to try to pin the date on a calendar or assign the blame to a single entity is comical. The elections will have an effect on our lives, and the results will change parts of our society. What should be emphasized is how each of us affects our own life by the decisions we make and the relationships we experience. The changes of the election are superficial. The way people experience life has changed drastically since the beginning of time, and the way we experience life will continue to change. Determine for yourself what is most important and what does not change. Emily O’Loughlin is a senior in

As a retro gamer, my mind has been blown twice in the last couple of weeks. First, I purchased a Sega Genesis and was swept away by both nostalgia and complete frustration (more on that later). Second, Disney’s “Wreck-It Ralph” hit theaters and I had been waiting for this movie for a long time. I’m happy to report it did not disappoint. My mini-review: Go check it out on the big screen; it’s worth the cash. Anyway, gaming has become one of the biggest entertainment industries in the United States, meaning it has to market to larger and larger audiences. As I’ve gone back in time on a few systems, I’ve realized how easy we’ve had it lately. Video games are easier in the 2010s. Now, for those of you who rock the Legendary/Hardcore/Expert/ etc. levels, this is no knock on you. There will always be options for a challenge. However, think about how many mainstream games have no set difficulty. Most open-world games do, anyway. There are always checkpoints in every mission, autosaves and unlimited lives to guide your way. My question then, is: Does the mainstream impact of easy games make us soft as consumers? Really, it’s a matter of perspective. You fire up Nintendo or Sega games from back in the day with three lives and usually no continues. That’s just the way it was back then. You keep practicing and practicing until one day you get that perfect run and the sweet taste of success is yours. Does all of this really matter, regardless if we’re gamers or not? The parallel to gaming and the whole set difficulty can apply to other areas. As technology continues to improve, we continue to be the most technologically privileged generation. So in saying that, it’s good to go back sometimes and appreciate how hard things were back in the day, so to speak. Is that a big stretch, sure, but when the heck was I going to be able to spin retro gaming into a column? If you have access to an old system, figure out a way to get it working and relive some glory days. Not to mention, you’ll learn pretty dang quick how hard games were when we were growing up. Take that same appreciation, apply it to all of life’s little things and what you get is a little thing called perspective. We can all use a bit of perspective every now and then. Game on, folks.

ELECTION continued from page 4
we face as a nation. This is a pivotal time for a number of issues, and we must not rest now that the election is past, thinking our work done and our country safe. The U.S. has shown signs of heading toward a police state with legislation such as the Patriot Act under George W. Bush and Barack Obama’s signing of the National Defense Authorization Act, which allows the federal government to indefinitely detain U.S. citizens without just cause or trial. U.S. drone strikes in the Middle East are killing more civilians than combatants, which has gone largely unnoticed due to the U.S. government’s convenient labeling of any military-age male person as a combatant, even if no evidence exists suggesting their combatant status (truthout. org). The Keystone Pipeline looms as a threat that would wreak havoc on our entire environment and poison U.S. water reserves in its path. War hawks in this government have been increasing their rhetoric about Iran, advocating for war. Some on the Far Right would like nothing more than to see the hard-foughtfor rights of women, people of color and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender folks scaled back or stripped away completely. The disparity of the rich and the poor is growing ever wider, and corporate influence on our government runs rampant. The rights of working people to collectively bargain, earn a living wage and get an education are being eroded. Now is the time for action, not rest. The work is not done. It is our duty and our right to vote and organize for the
election of our chosen candidates. But that alone will not ensure our rights, protect our environment or keep our government – under either party’s control – in check. We must not sit idly now, content that our country and our world will move in the right direction because of progressive electoral victories. Electing Democratic candidates is encouraging, but our vote must not be the only way in which we make ourselves heard. We must use our voices: write our representatives letters, send them emails, visit their offices and speak with them when they appear near us so they know how we expect them to vote on important issues. We must mobilize: speak out, protest, boycott and stand against things like the Keystone Pipeline and war. We must educate: talk with each other, start a conversation, hold teach-ins, workshops and class presentations informing each other about the experiences of oppressed groups, about immigration, the environment and other issues at hand. We must organize: rally ourselves around issues from the local – like establishing an LGBT center here at UNI and ensuring that UNI gets properly funded — to the state level by keeping marriage rights from coming to a vote. We must also work on the national level by blocking the Keystone Pipeline and creating empowered communities. Victory is sweet, but misleading. Don’t get comfortable and disengage. Press our advantage and stay active. Because the work is not done.

MOVIE REVIEW
Students, staff show support for veterans with ribbon tying event FRANCOIS DUHAMEL/Courtesy Columbia Pictures/MCT ERIN KEISER/Northern Iowan
LINH TA News Writer
From the Redeker Center to University Book and Supply, yellow ribbons popped up across the University of Northern Iowa campus last week, thanks to the help of 50 UNI students and staff who attended a ribbon-tying event on Nov. 8. “I think (this event) is extremely important for UNI, especially now that a lot of veterans are coming back and starting to go back into school,” said Leah Wafful, student veteran intern and organizer of the event. Wafful hopes the ribbons will bring awareness about the student veterans
and staff on campus and the importance of Veterans Day, which was Nov. 11. Individuals met outside Maucker Union, where Wafful split them up into five groups, handed out ribbons and scissors and sent the groups to different areas across campus. Though it was chilly outside, each group tied ribbons around trees and placed U.S. flags in front of the Campanile. Krista Pelzer, a junior leisure, youth and human services major, came to the event to show her support for veterans and those serving in the military. “I think it’s important to recognize diversity in everything people are involved in, including honoring our
STYLE
veterans,” Pelzer said. Trisha Hinke, a junior biomedical major, also came to the event to show her support. “We just want to help give the soldiers the support they need and recognize them for all the hard work they’re doing,” Hinke said. According to Wafful, the ribbon tying event first started three or four years ago by student veterans on campus and has since turned into an annual tradition — one she hopes will continue. “It’s important to show our appreciation and to make UNI seem like a comfortable atmosphere where students can come and learn and build relationships,” Wafful said.

STYLE & BEAUTY The “glamour” side of Grit ‘n’ Glam is easy to understand. Sequins, glitz, bright colors and immediately recognizable forms of beauty all constitute this “glam” perspective. Glamour is Hollywood; it is fun, fabulous and chic. We can all use some glamour in our lives, whether it’s dressing in flashy formalwear for a fancy event or wearing a statement piece of bling-y jewelry. But glamour is also uncontroversial, even obvious. It can lack edge or uniqueness. There are more obviously recognizable forms of beauty that tend to domi-
nate others. The conventionally masculine guy over the androgynous one. The conventionally pretty girl over the quirky one. The hot pink patent leather over the olive-green suede. The athlete over the artist. The smaller over the larger. The glam over the grit. They are all beautiful, but some get much more credit for their beauty than others. Grit is about embracing the unconventional, the edgy, the strange or unique. It is about looking at something that is rough around the edges and recognizing the beauty that is there specifically because of the lack of clean-cut “perfection.”
In every aspect of life, looking for the hidden or less immediately recognizable beauty helps us gain a deeper picture and appreciation of the world around us. I recently shaved my head, which was a departure for me. A shaved head isn’t glamorous. It isn’t “pretty,” but it embodies grit. There is something interesting, something deserving of a second look about it. Sometimes, by completely rejecting conventional ideas of beauty and attractiveness, we discover or create new aesthetic niches. I encourage all of you to < See GRIT, page 7
Daniel Craig stars as James Bond in “Skyfall.”
‘Skyfall’ brings humanity, humor back to Bond ALEX TOFT Movie Critic
“Skyfall” asks the viewer to think about James Bond in a way that isn’t often required for a Bond film – as an actual person. As the 50th anniversary film, “Skyfall” is both a celebration of what made the franchise so much fun in the ‘60s and ‘70s and an examination of the very idea of Bond, a Cold War thug who may not fit into today’s conflicts. It’s a film about Bond as much as it is a Bond film. The close examination of the characters, combined with the continuity nods and a long absent sense of humor, makes “Skyfall” the best Bond film since, well, perhaps ever. One of the recurring themes of the film is that sometimes the old ways are the best ways, but “Skyfall” takes time to tear apart the old structures of the Bond universe and lay bare how brutal they are. The film begins with Bond (Daniel Craig) pretending to be dead after getting shot in the line of duty by a fellow agent while trying to recover a hard drive full of the names and locations of British 00 Agents embedded in terrorist organizations around the world. He’s comfortable drinking himself to death on a tropical island until he learns that in his absence, the government agency MI6 has been compromised and M (Judy Dench), the head of the bureau (and somewhat of a maternal figure to Bond), is about to get sacked, and his sense of duty brings him begrudg-
ingly back to England and to M’s side. The relationship between Bond and M is at the heart of the film. Both are cast as relics in a new war they may not be prepared to fight, and they are constantly a step behind the villain, an agent M chose to abandon in the field who has come back for revenge. M’s role in creating Bond and the former agent, Silva (played creepily and expertly by Javier Bardem), makes the conflict oddly intimate. Bardem’s Silva has an almost oedipal fascination with M, which further highlights the brokenness of creating 00 Agents, recruited as orphans and trained at an early age to be ruthless and devoted killers. In opposition to Silva’s inhuman ability to remain one step ahead of MI6 is Bond’s humanity, which is crafted in detail that is rarely seen in Bond continuity. Craig’s Bond in “Skyfall” is not a Bond at the top of his game. He is recovering from multiple gunshot wounds, which have destroyed his marksmanship and left him weakened, forcing him to rely on his cunning rather than his brute force. We also see Bond as sort of nostalgic, as he tries to confront his past while fighting for his future. He seems disappointed when the new Q (Ben Whishaw) gives him two “gadgets” amounting to a gun only Bond can fire and a radio tracker. “What were you expecting?” Q asks. “An exploding pen? We don’t do that < See ‘SKYFALL’, page 7

anymore.” And the third act of the film sees Bond literally retreating into his past – to his ancestral Scottish Manor. The film is full of great continuity nods like these, which help to imbue the film with a sense of humor and awareness that hasn’t been present in the previous Craig Bond films. The film features some amazing set pieces, located in Istanbul, Shanghai and Scotland. Roger Deakins, cinematographer extraordinaire, shoots the film beautifully. Especially amazing is a short scene of Bond standing on a boat surrounded by lights as he is ferried into a casino and the mountains of Scotland presiding over the third act of the film.

and frenetic rooftop chases as he does the more tender moments between Bond and M. The success of the film as a stand-alone movie is only part of what makes it so fantastic. The other part is that, as the 50th anniversary of the James Bond franchise, it pleases the old fans and excites the new. Sam Mendes has created a film that is both retrospective and introspective. He celebrates the franchise and reconciles the new Bond with the old. It’s clear that the film was crafted with love for the history and excitement that the Bond film “Casino Royale,” the first in which Craig played Bond, brought back to the franchise. “Skyfall” is the most pure and honest Bond film, but it’s also the most artful and mature.

Junior guard Matt Morrison (21), picured here against Northern State, scored 14 points, grabbed four rebounds and dished out three assists during the Panthers’ 103-50 season opening victory over Wartburg College on Saturday afternoon.
Panthers roll to 103-50 season opening victory over Wartburg JAKE BEMIS Sports Writer
The University of Northern Iowa men’s basketball team couldn’t have asked for a better start to a new season. The Panthers used two big runs – one in each half – to dismantle Wartburg College 103-50 on Saturday. The Panthers’ 103 points are the most points
ever scored in the McLeod Center, beating the previous record of 99 points, also against the Knights. UNI opened the game on a 24-9 run capped by a Nate Buss dunk and never looked back. The Panthers (1-0) extended their lead to 27 points before Wartburg cut the lead to 20 heading into the second half. It was much of the same in the sec-
ond half as UNI outscored the Knights 56-23, shooting 78.6 percent for the half. “Marc (Sonnen) got us off to a great start,” said UNI head coach Ben Jacobson. “Tonight he came in and knocked in a couple shots right from the start. Then in the second half we were < See BASKETBALL, page 9
The University of Northern Iowa volleyball team picked up two more wins over the weekend, defeating Southern Illinois University on Friday and the University of Evansville on Saturday. This was the final road trip of the regular season for the Panthers. UNI (23-8, 14-3 MVC) defeated SIU 3-1 on Friday evening by scores of 25-19, 25-16, 27-29 and 25-23. Amy Braun led the way for the Panthers with 18 kills. Megan Lehman added 17 kills of her own. Molly Turk recorded 54 assists on the night while Braun led the way with 23 digs. The Panthers swept the Evansville Purple Aces 3-0 by scores of 25-20, 25-17 and 25-22. Lehman led UNI with 14 kills. Macy Ubben chipped in with 13 kills of her own. Once again, Turk notched the high assists total for the Panthers with 48, while Braun added a season-high 20 digs. If the Panthers seal a victory in their regular season finale Saturday night against Bradley University, they will clinch the No. 2-seed for the upcoming Missouri Valley Conference Tournament. The UNI vs. Bradley match will get underway at 7 p.m. in the McLeod Center.

Panthers win second straight game, beat Coyotes 24-21 RILEY UBBEN Sports Writer
ERIC CLAUSEN/Northern Iowan Archives
Sophomore running back David Johnson (7) rushed for more than 100 yards in his fifth straight game.
The University of Northern Iowa football team defeated the University of South Dakota Coyotes 24-21 on Saturday in Vermillion, S.D. The Panthers (4-6, 3-4 MVFC) scored a touchdown on their second offensive possession on a 3-yard run from sophomore running back David Johnson to give them an early 7-3 lead. The UNI defense held the Coyotes to just two field goals until just before halftime when USD sophomore quarterback Josh Vander Maten connected with senior Will Powell for a 46-yard touchdown pass. The big play from Vander Maten gave the Coyotes a 13-7 lead with just 55 seconds left in the first half. However, the UNI offense, led by redshirt freshman quarterback Sawyer Kollmorgen, would take advantage of the time left on the clock. Kollmorgen connected with sophomore receiver Brett LeMaster for a 33-yard gain after a Coyote 15-yard personal foul penalty. The big play put the Panthers at the Coyote 37-yard line with 33 seconds left before the end of the half. Five plays later, Kollmorgen found Johnson over the middle for a 20-yard touchdown that gave the Panthers a 14-13 lead at intermission. “You can get behind them if they come at you on certain downs, and we were fortunate enough to get that,”
UNI head coach Mark Farley said of the touchdown play. Both defenses held strong throughout the third quarter, as no points were scored. UNI’s final touchdown would come on their first drive of the fourth quarter. Kollmorgen completed a 20-yard pass to senior receiver Terrell Sinkfield to give the Panthers a first and goal from the 1-yard line. After two David Johnson runs for no gain, the powerful runner punched it in on third-and-goal to give the Panthers a 21-13 lead with 10 minutes left in regulation. An eight play, 35-yard drive from the Panthers was capped off by a 31-yard field goal from junior Tyler Sievertsen. This gave the Panthers a 24-13 lead with just under four minutes left in the game. The Coyotes answered with one final touchdown drive. However, it wasn’t enough, as the Panthers came away with a 24-21 victory. UNI won back-to-back games for the first time all season. Kollmorgen finished with 158 yards passing and one touchdown on the day. Johnson led the rushing attack with 130 yards and two touchdowns while senior Carlos Anderson added 69 yards. Sinkfield was the Panthers’ leading receiver as he finished with seven receptions for 77 yards. The Panthers look to finish the season on a threegame winning streak as they take on Missouri State University in Cedar Falls at 4 p.m. next Saturday.

able to get a couple right around the basket. That’s a great way to start the second half. “I suppose if you go back over the course of six years maybe once or twice (we’ve shot 80 percent) in a half, but not very often,” Jacobson said of the Panthers’ hot shooting. The Panthers outrebounded Wartburg 44-29 and held the Knights to just 30.8 percent shooting for the game. Sophomore point guard Deon Mitchell led the way for UNI, scoring 18 points on four 3-point shots and dishing out six assists, all tying career highs. “We’ve been working a lot on defense, but a lot of us have been getting in the gym lately and working on our jump shot,” Mitchell said.
PAGE 9
“Last year it was more of a setup so we’ve been trying to pick up the pace. When we got an open jump shot we were more prepared to shoot it.” In their first regular season games as Panthers, redshirt freshmen Matt Bohannon and Chris Olivier scored 11 and five points, respectively. “I think (Matt) was more comfortable today than he was against Briar Cliff. He was moving around a little better and not thinking nearly as much,” Jacobson said. “I think with a guy like him that shoots the ball so well, the less he thinks about what he should be doing and the more he just plays, the better it is for our team.” The Panthers return to action Wednesday when they host the University of Toledo at 7 p.m.

RILEY UBBEN Sports Writer
The University of Northern Iowa women’s basketball team came up just short against the No. 25-ranked University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix in their regular season opener Saturday afternoon. The Panthers rallied from an eight-point halftime deficit, but fell to the Phoenix 54-53. It took UNI (0-1) four minutes to get their first bucket of the season and their slow start continued throughout the first half. The Panthers were just 9-for-26 from the floor and 2-for-12 from behind the 3-point arc. UNI found themselves down 31-22 at the end of the first half. “I thought we were getting great shots,” UNI head coach Tanya Warren said. “I just talked to them about settling down. I liked what we were doing defensively; we just had to start making some open shots.” The Panthers finally started making some of those shots in the second half. Sophomore guard Brittni Donaldson knocked down her first two 3-point attempts and UNI continued to chip away at the Green Bay lead. The Panthers put together an 8-0 run that was capped off with a 3-pointer from sophomore guard Brooke Brown to pull the Panthers within one point at 40-39. Senior guard Jacqui Kalin hit back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Panthers their first lead of the game with 8:40 left in regulation. Kalin, in her first game back since a
season-ending injury a year ago, finished with 17 points, five rebounds and seven assists. “We went on a run, it wasn’t because I made the shots. It was a tribute to how we were moving the ball,” said Kalin. Trouble arose for the Panthers when the Phoenix got put into the bonus situation with 7:27 remaining. Three straight fouls from UNI fueled a 5-0 run by Green Bay, giving the Phoenix a 48-45 lead. “It hurts us when they get to the foul line. That is where you mentally need to lock-in and tell yourself that you can’t get another foul the next possession. Just don’t let one play add to the next,” Brown said. A 3-point barrage would ensue from Phoenix senior Adrian Ritchie and Panther junior Jess McDowell, as they both hit back-to-back 3-pointers. The impressive display of shooting would bring the score to 54-53, with Green Bay leading with less than a minute in play. A pair of missed free throws from the Phoenix with just over six seconds left on the clock gave the Panthers a chance to win the game on their final possession. Donaldson caught a pass at the 3-point line and took a dribble to get herself open for the potential gamewinning shot. However, her shot hit the back of the rim as time ran out and the Panthers fell just short. UNI will look to bounce back Thursday at home against the University of South Dakota Coyotes. The game tips off at noon.
