Glee Club members hold up “MERRY CHRISTMAS” signs at the end of the 38th Annual Men’s Varsity Glee Club Variety Show. The tutu-clad performers were the Arthur Murder Dancers. They performed dances to two songs.

VOLLEYBALL Panthers’ postseason comes to an end with a loss.

“We need Christmas now,” sang the Varsity Men’s Glee Club as the stage behind them lit up in shades of green and red. The 38th Annual UNI Varsity Men’s Glee Club Christmas Variety show opened with the songs “We Need a Little Christmas” and “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”.

The UNI Men’s Varsity Glee Club performed a number of traditional choral pieces and a few non-traditional songs from other countries such as Iceland.

Throughout the show, the UNI Panther Palms were interpreting with sign language. This added tradition started with the 2014 Christmas Variety show, as the show director, John Len Wiles, realized that Glee Club talents were not reaching the deaf community, as stated in the show program.

Students select GBPAC shows KAYLEEN TURNIS Staff Writer

The Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center (GBPAC) will kick off its new event series, HANDPICKED, with a launch party to celebrate.

The event will take place in Davis Hall on Thursday, Dec. 10 at 8 p.m.

During the launch party, GBPAC will celebrate the new series by revealing the first two musical acts attached to the series.

Food, drinks and merchandise will be available to purchase. The series’ name, HANDPICKED, was chosen because the staff and community members spent the summer getting feedback on which artists individuals wanted to see in the Cedar Valley.

A random selection of UNI students served on the HANDPICKED panel to help decide which acts would be brought to the GBPAC for its upcoming season.

“We sat with a group of representatives that work at the GBPAC who took the time to compile a list of potential productions and shows that they

have researched,” said Molly Norman, senior communications major and member of the HANDPICKED panel.

“We were asked to look at the entire list and rank those from one to five dependent on what we might find interesting solely based off of names.”

The students were then given the opportunity to to watch brief video clips of each option on the list and rank them once again.

Norman felt very fortunate to be involved in the panel.

“I was really happy with this experience, because I appreciated them taking the time to get personal opinions from students regarding how we would like to experience the Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center,” Norman said. “I feel as though the future of the GBPAC looks promising and it seems to me that they plan to bring some very exciting shows.”

Several individuals were involved in putting this event together.

Write essays for easy money JOSIE ROBERTSON Staff Writer

Students receive an abundance of emails from UNI throughout the year, many of which may go unread. UNI’s Scholarship Application is advertised through such emails and can be lost in the shuffle of things or even ignored by students who don’t realize exactly what the application is.

According to Elizabeth Minard, assistant director of gift aid and multicultural relations, UNI offers over 1,000 departmental scholarships and foundation awards.

To be considered for these scholarships, students must complete the UNI Scholarship Application online.

According to Minard, the application is typically available at the start of July each year and the priority deadline is Jan. 15.

Minard tells students not to worry if they have not yet filled out the application.

“There’s actually no advantage to submitting [the application] right away on July 1 or July 2, because scholarship administrators across campus don’t start to look at applications until the day after

us at Gallagher Bluedorn have been working on,” said Blake Argotsinger, associate marketing manager at the GBPAC. “I’ve been particularly passionate about this new series as these are the bands I relate to.”

members will benefit from it as well.

“This series will bring students greater access to bands that normally play in larger series,” Argotsinger said.

“It’s important because it puts Cedar Falls on the map as a place for musicians to stop

the deadline anyway,” Minard said.

According to Minard, applicants selected for scholarships must meet certain criteria. Minard cited a new foundation award as an example of this.

The donors for this specific scholarship are looking for a student of senior standing who has no student loan debt and has a minimum GPA of 3.0.

However, Minard reassures students that UNI offers a very small percentage of scholarships that contain highly specific criteria.

“There are some other [scholarships] that are very flexible,” said Minard.

“There’s actually sometimes not even a GPA requirement.

They just want the student to be a full-time student and show some type of leadership experience.”

Minard advises students to follow the instructions, particularly the essay portion of the application, although both essays are optional. She instructs students to always complete the essays, as she knows of instances where scholarship coordinators have eliminated students who failed to do so.

and share their music, which is great for music lovers in the area.”

Argotsinger went on to explain how this series is exciting for the GBPAC itself.

“I think it creates a stronger following of fans who go to live music,” he said.

“So it’s not only important for Gallagher Bluedorn but also all the area venues who support live music in their establishments. This series is also a way to showcase the wide range of shows that can be hosted at Gallagher Bluedorn.”

Argotsinger reflected on the picking process.

“We were at the Stopover Festival at Waverly, the Mohair Pear Fair and more and received a tremendous amount of feedback,” Argotsinger said. “From those bands, we worked to find the bands that were on tour […] and would be the bands we could ‘handpick’ from our big list.”

The actual shows will be on Feb. 4 and April 7.

The launch party is free and open to the public.

Anyone interested in receiving updates of the HANDPICKED series can sign up for a mailing list to be notified first of who is booked. All information can be found at gbpac.com/ HANDPICKED.

According to Minard, approximately a quarter of UNI students completed the UNI Scholarship Application last year.

Danielle Dunagan, sophomore anthropology major, was a recipient of UNI scholarships. She has yet to complete her scholarship application for this year, but plans to do so over winter break.

“Mainly to make sure that I have enough covered so I can take out as little loans as possible,” said Dunagan when asked for her reasoning behind completing the application.

Excluding the essay writing portion of the application, Minard believes the application takes no longer than 20 minutes to complete.

Students are also allowed to save the application at any point during the process of filling it out and come back at a later date.

“I didn’t really have any issues with [the application].

It was pretty self-explanatory, especially with the essays,” Dunagan said.

To locate the application from the university financial aid homepage, select the scholarships link then click the ‘UNI Scholarship Application’ button.

VOLUME 112, ISSUE 26

This year, I’m thankful to be white Like many (but not all) of you, I was #blessed enough to go home and celebrate Thanksgiving with my family over break. And, of course, as we sat around the table filled with excellent food, we held hands and shared what we were thankful for this year. It was Norman-Rockwell-level adorability, let me tell you.

My mother said she was thankful for everyone being home. My father was thankful for the undefeated season the Hawkeye football team had been having (“Straight to the national championship, God-willing”).

My brothers, an ecologist and a geographer, were thankful for a year of good data analysis.

Then it was my turn. The answer, for me, was obvious: “I’m thankful I’m white.” My family nodded in understanding, and a few of them added “amens” of agreement.

I love being white; it’s not hard to figure out why. There are so many things in my life that have been simplified by my race, and the least I can do is say ‘thank you’ every once in a while.

It all started when I was a little girl, learning to read: no matter where I turned in the library, there were books with main characters I could relate to and empathize with.

According to the Cooperative Children’s Book Center, over 90 percent of children’s books they review in a year have no significant characters who are people of color. The books that found their way into our public library and into my hands were made by and for people with similar backgrounds to mine.

It’s not surprising I grew up loving reading. Like so many things, my love of reading was simplified by my whiteness.

Also, as a white child, I could expect teachers and librarians to deal fairly with me and not assume I was up to no good.

Even though I was often up to no good, I received the benefit of the doubt because of my whiteness. I traveled the hallways of my high school freely without ever being asked for a pass by the adult hall monitors employed to keep the peace.

New to the public school system, I commented on this phenomenon to a friend.

“Of course you don’t need a pass,” she scoffed, “you’re white.” Her experience as a person of color in our school was hugely different from mine. Despite being an equally

involved and pleasant student, she was stopped by hall monitors and asked for a pass often, and I had no idea until she made that comment. What I saw as fair treatment at school was actually preferential treatment, and I could have graduated without finding out any different.

Unawareness of the experiences of others is probably the most exclusive luxury afforded to me by my social position as a white person. In my previous example about hall monitors in high school (a school about eight miles southeast of here, for those of you who do field experience in the Cedar Valley), notice that I had no idea my experience was not typical until I was informed of that by a person of color.

I’m thankful for the veil of ignorance I am allowed to live behind. I’m thankful that being aware of others’ lived experiences is a two-step process for me. First, I have to be told by someone when my experience is not a typical one. Second, I get to choose whether or not I believe that person.

While I’ve been at UNI, I have availed myself of every opportunity my whiteness gives me to be ignorant of what others may face in the same spaces I walk through with ease.

When I get an email from

President Ruud or P r o v o s t Wo h l p a r t about the tough conversations happening surrounding diversity on campus, I can click delete.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

“Exclusion” LTE misses point from the beginning

This is a response to the letter to the editor published on Dec. 3, titled, “Diversity Forum Excluded Whites”.

To begin with, the meeting on Nov. 19 was for “all UNI students who are interested” according to the oft-shared Facebook post advertising the meeting.

The author started off by complaining that whites were excluded from the event. As previously stated, the invitation was to all interested students.

Later on the invitation opens it up to faculty as well. I don’t

know how that is in any way exclusionary. In the words of the Palestinian-American Khaled bin Abdul Khaled, more commonly known as DJ Khaled: “You played yourself.”

The rest of the letter had ludicrous attempts to somehow pin the blame of current ills on diversity. It focused on diversity inclusion programs’ inability to stop events such as the Michael Brown shooting, the issue of undocumented immigration and the attacks in Paris. Simply put: what?

The author failed to give any

correlation as to how diversity and inclusion resolved to solve the issues of police brutality, immigration reform and terrorism.

The author is blaming a concept for not doing a job or addressing an issue it was never meant to address. This would be like trying to use a Phillips screwdriver on a flathead and getting mad when it doesn’t take.

Diversity and inclusion is important, but let’s focus on its actual focus: to increase the perception of students and others to other perspectives and increase understanding among students of different backgrounds.

Diversity is like a scalpel in an open-heart surgery: it is a useful tool to have and reveals other issues at hand. However, expecting only a scalpel to successfully pull off an open-heart surgery is not realistic; it is only a tool meant to look at certain problems. Do you need another poorly thought out NICK FISHER/Northern Iowan metaphor or did I get my point across?

Hansen Breitling, senior philosophy major and NISG director of diversity I wish I had more points and student life, addresses attendees at a diversity forum on Nov. 19.

Whites” has no other points.

Its entire premise is that whites were excluded from the process in an attempt to silence them, which is blatantly false — the need of minority students to be heard and treated as equally as white students does not preclude white students being involved. Just because we would like to have a voice does not mean white students lose theirs.

I’d like to address the author directly: You know the academic version of racism, backed up by both anecdotal evidence as well as statistical trends in pay

gaps, media presentation and perception and other commonly used points to support the idea of racism being institutional rather than just simply “hating another person for their race.”

You referenced the first definition and simply brushed it off — why? You have nothing except a veiled misunderstanding of the world affecting your perception. I hope next time you present some legitimate evidence.

Christians, commercialization and holiday distractions

There’s no such thing as a war on Christmas, and there never has been. But there should be. Forget for a second that “Christians” are upset because Starbucks chose not to commercialize Christmas with their red cups (I feel dumber for just typing that), and think instead of what you were doing on Thanksgiving this year.

My guess is most of you were back home with your family, enjoying turkey, gravy and your racist uncle that drinks a bit too much and supports Donald Trump (or maybe it’s your racist aunt—I don’t want to be sexist). And once that last plop of cranberry sauce was sucked up, I suspect multiple members of your family headed out of the house to say thanks to Target, WalMart or Best Buy.

And for what? The overwhelming majority of Black Friday deals are utterly useless, and yet our never-ending American appetite for consumerism and consumption remains unabated no matter the day or time.

Not all that long ago, Black Friday actually meant Friday morning, then it meant 5 a.m. Friday morning, then it meant midnight, and now it just means ditch the turkey, the hell with your family, come to the store and enjoy watching the unfortunate retail employees who have to deal with all of us slovenly humanoid credit cards with legs.

Of course you could have just stayed home and used Amazon as they roll out special, limited-time only, oncein-a-lifetime savings deals on electric reindeer socks that are handmaid with the tears of children in some far flung sweatshop. Didn’t want to miss those did you?

Heaven forbid.

And yet, for some reason, even though the whole idea of Thanksgiving and

Christmas has been completely and utterly bastardized in this country, there’s still an entire group of people who think there’s a war on Christmas because some people are decent enough human beings to say Happy Holidays, because not all of us spend time in a church with a Bible in our hands, wondering what it must have been like when the first people rode dinosaurs.

None of it makes any sense to me anymore, and what little sanity I have left TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE at this point in my life is slowly eroding as I watch There’s no war on X-mas, but columnist Jackson thinks there should be. this nonsense paraded out before me once again this cookies with your grandma and try and make it what year. or try and explain Twitter to it used to be: a bunch of So this year, I implore your grandfather (always a family members who don’t you to take the Grumpy family favorite in my house). really like each other drinkMike Pledge and stay home Argue with your siblings ing weird holiday booze in a with your family for the hol- while playing board games. cramped house while eating idays.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

“No free tuition” raises valid safety concerns

The front page article from Nov. 5, “Hit by a car? No free tuition” has raised an interesting discussion regarding the Hudson Road crosswalk.

Perhaps the myth does ring true for some, as suggested

by Heppeard (Nov. 19), but I find this unlikely. Rather, this story should serve to highlight the valid safety concerns of the most vulnerable of road users — the pedestrians.

Allow me to make an assumption: most of us at UNI enjoy our small campus.

At just 916 acres, the campus is roughly half the size of our sister colleges in Ames and Iowa City; this fact should support a bustling pedestrian campus.

Yet Cedar Falls receives only a 34/100 from Walkscore (an organization dedicated to promoting and measuring walking connectivity in urban areas). This is the lowest of Iowa’s three college cities, which would suggest that we, as a university community, could do much more to support pedestrian access here on and around campus.

The particular crosswalk in question crosses Hudson Road between 22nd and 23rd street, near the main entrance to the Wellness and Recreation Center (WRC). The members of the Health and Safety Committee have been right

to raise concerns about this crosswalk; the near misses are frequent enough to have spurned the ‘free tuition’ myth as reported by Kiley Coppock.

The committee’s concerns have fostered recurring discussion for some time, but the current considerations include the removal of the crosswalk and installation of fences, in

Restricting pedestrian access is counterproductive to... UNI’s image as a small, walkable campus.

an attempt to limit pedestrian access.

The committee relates its success with a similar proposal further south on Hudson, forcing pedestrians to use the controlled intersection at 27th street. These ‘successes’ are overstated; the University’s Task Force 4, established to evaluate campus transportation, has identified growing concerns of developing congestion and the resulting potential for collisions at this very intersection.

Furthermore, the comparison of the 27th street and

WRC crosswalk is one of apples to oranges. The proposed diversion at the WRC is not a controlled intersection, but a grade-separated tunnel.

This has the significant advantage of nearly eliminating pedestrian-motorist traffic conflicts. However, doubling-up foot traffic in the busy, narrow tunnel could create different conflicts; bicycles, scooters and boards all vie with pedestrians for the same precious few feet of sidewalk between the two concrete walls. It also creates an unnecessary detour for those walking between the Towers, WRC and C-pass parking lots — no small portion of our on-campus residents.

Perhaps the best defense of the Hudson Road crosswalk is the Iowa Code, which Heppard gave brief mention. The law makes explicit provisions for the interaction of pedestrians and motorists. There are a few codes of interest to pedestrians, including 321.325 for controlled intersections, and 321.328 for jaywalking.

The Hudson crossing is addressed by code 321.327, which says at any crosswalk motorists must yield or stop for pedestrians in the roadway, simple failure to yield is a misdemeanor. The pedestrians are demonstrably in favor of this crosswalk, evi-

dent every school morning.

Furthermore, increased safety is as easy as increased enforcement, and certainly more profitable than parking tickets too.

The committee’s proposal to eliminate pedestrian accesses to save motorists a few seconds is misguided.

Restricting pedestrian access is counterproductive to student health, campus sustainability, and UNI’s image as a small, walkable campus. If you are a pedestrian, vote with your feet!

You should see “The Night Before”... today

Film Critic

From the Seth Rogan, Evan Goldberg and Johnathon Levine writing team that brought you “Superbad”, “Knocked Up”, “This Is the End” and “Neighbors”, comes another eccentric comedy that has a surprising amount of heart.

“The Night Before” stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Ethan, an orphan who lost his parents at a young age on Christmas Eve, prompting his two best friends, Isaac (Seth Rogan) and Chris (Anthony Mackie), to create the tradition of spending every subsequent Christmas Eve together.

But with Isaac becoming a father to be and Chris’s football stardom kicking off, the three decide to have one JOSHUA ROUSE

final Christmas Eve to beat them all. Hilarious hijinks and character development ensue as all three friends learn what growing up is truly about.

The most surprising thing about “The Night Before” (besides the multiple clever celebrity cameos) is the fact that it works as a good-spirited Christmas movie. It pokes fun at other clichés of the holiday movie genre, but at its core there is a genuine celebration of love and togetherness that Christmas can bring. That’s what makes “The Night Before” so enjoyable, there’s something to take away from it after the credits roll.

Another high point of the movie is the evenly-paced split narratives.

Ethan, Isaac and Chris all have their own problems and goals they’re after as they engage in their night

of revelry. The flow of the movie is smooth enough that each character arc is satisfying and fleshed out so that they get an equal chance to shine, both in humor and character development. But this movie is first and foremost a comedy.

It excels at the drug-fueled bromance humor that is typical of the Levine/ Rogan/Goldberg writing team. While raunchy jokes often happen, they are done in as good of taste as they can get and are never excessive or used to the point of exhaustion.

Admittedly, this film does have its faults. There are points during the second act where the pacing and narrative feels a bit unfocused. There was the suspicion that the film might come unraveled after such a promising start, but the third act brings all of the

plot threads back together and makes for a refreshingly satisfying wrap up.

Overall, “The Night Before” is not the best effort of the Levine/Rogan/

Goldberg trio, but it certainly is a solid work on its own.

Ethan, Isaac and Chris make their Christmas Eve truly a night to remember.

“The Night Before” was released on Nov. 20.

“Krampus” delivers coal JOSHUA ROUSE Film Critic

Based on the German fairy tale of a demonic Santa who comes to punish naughty children, “Krampus” is a horror comedy hitting theaters just in time for the holidays.

When young Max (Emjay Anthony) gives up on Christmas due to his dysfunctional family, his lack of belief in the holidays unleashes the titular demon who wreaks havoc on the broken family, forcing them to work together to stay alive.

Directed and co-written by Michael Dougherty, “Kr ampus” e xpresses Dougherty’s signature creature horror, as can be seen in his cult hit “Trick ‘r Treat”. The monster and supernatural parts of “Krampus” are certainly the high point of this

film. Expertly weaving together CGI, costuming and puppetry, the creatures are effectively creepy and creatively presented. But unfortunately, the genre elements aren’t as impressively stitched together.

Starting off as something resembling a family holiday/comedy-drama, the interactions between the characters are sometimes humorous. However, the development of some characters, especially the protagonist Max, are pushed aside and was never finished throughout the film.

When the horror element kicks in, it is a welcome addition to the plot.

“Krampus” has its moments, both creatively creepy and funny, but it never achieves an equal blend of the horror, comedy and family dramatics that make up the movie.

“I just think it is an awesome performing opportunity,” said Phillips-Wright. “I always love working with the Glee Club.”

After, a performance of “Ave Maria” was given in dedication to those who have experienced grief over this semester, with the emphasis that music can bring people together.

UNITUBA then took the stage to perform “White Christmas” and “Jingle Bells”.

UNITUBA is one of the oldest tuba and euphonium ensembles in the world, according to the program.

The Glee Club performed one final song, then cleared out the stage for a performance by the Arthur Murder Dancers.

The Arthur Murder Dancers have been a part of UNI Glee Club traditions since 1978, according to the program. This year, they performed “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies” and

“Christmas Can-Can”. Complete with tank tops and pink tutus, the Glee Club men entertained the crowd with their ballet skills.

Finally, all of the Glee Club returned to the stage to wave a final goodbye to the audience, concluding the show.

Some of the performers commented on the success of the show.

“We had quite a bit of energy for an afternoon showing.

It really is the most wonderful time of the year,” said Randy Wells, senior composition major and three-time Glee Club Variety Show performer.

“It was really great to see all the pieces go together,” said Samantha Lennon, junior psychology major and part of the Orchesis Dance Company.

UNI’s Varsity Men’s Glee Club will continue to tour, and will be going to Iceland and Norway over the summer.

They look forward to keeping the Variety Show tradition going, with their motto being, “Brothers, Sing On!”

Portland State came out of the half responding with a score on a short pass, cutting the lead to 16-10. Both sides would struggle back and fourth, as this would be the only points scored in the third quarter.

Yet, just as the final quarter started, Bailey found pay dirt once again, beating the entire Portland State defense in a 69-yard foot race to put the Panthers up, 23-10.

However, the Vikings held strong by responding on the next possession with a rushing score of their own two minutes later.

As the game drew closer to the end, the Panther defense’s influence in the contest grew. After a sack that forced a fourth down for the Vikings, UNI received possession and wouldn’t need more than one play to increase their lead.

A handoff to Smith on the first play of the drive saw him rumble down the middle of the field for a

58-yard score, making it 29-17.

This score would end up sealing the game as linebacker Brett McMakin was able to haul in a Portland State pass for an interception with less than six minutes left, leaving UNI able to run the clock out for the victory.

Sticking to their strengths in the ground game, UNI had two rushers with 200+ yards each in the contest: Smith earning a career-high 207 yards and Bailey adding a career-high 200 yards on 26 carries. This would mark the third time in four games that the Panthers had two separate 100yard rushers in a contest.

Linebacker Jared Farley led the team in tackles with 12, while grabbing an interception of his own. McMakin ended the game with 10 tackles, an interception and a sack.

pitcher in the history of baseball. Needless to say, Boston is hoping Price will bring them some championships.

It is not only the MLB. The NFL has eight quarterbacks making over $20 million this year. This past summer, Anthony Davis signed the largest league contract in NBA history, five years/$145 million, to remain with the New Orleans Pelicans.

Then there is Jordan Spieth, who won $1.8 million after winning last year’s Masters PGA Tournament at the age of 21. Spieth, of course, is not under contact by a sports team, but you get the picture.

Big-time athletes make big-time cash. The rest of the pro athletes make a pretty penny as well, just not quite to the extent of the top stars.

Why are these athletes getting paid so much?

Well it brings us back to the whole “if it makes money it, makes sense” concept.

The NFL, NBA, PGA, MLB and other professional sports leagues make a lot of

money on these athletes.

These stars sell tickets, drive up ratings and make the organization money.

The MLB, for example, is a $36 billion organization with each team having an average net worth of $1.2 billion because of guys like David Price.

It is a constant cycle.

Teams sign the guys that will fill the stands and win championship rings.

It is gut-wrenching to think about the money these guys are making, especially considering David Price basically made $3,500 in the time it took me to write this article.

However, pro sports is a big-money market, and that’s just the way it is because of its popularity.

Of course a lot of this money goes straight to taxes so the athletes don’t see all this money.

The point is, markets are getting bigger/ richer and there are some athletes playing at unbelievably high levels that teams are willing to pay top dollar for. So we can expect to see a lot of big contracts flashing across our TV screens in the future.

Panthers’ season ends on close battle against Marquette ZACH HUNTLEY

Sports Writer

The Panthers’ volleyball season came to a halt this Friday as they fell to the Marquette Golden Eagles Friday.

Making their 19th NCAA Tournament appearance, the Panthers were knocked off in a fiveset thriller that ended their chance at the NCAA title.

After falling in the first set, 17-25, the Panthers were quick to come back in the second.

UNI opened with a 7-3 lead but was slowly overturned by a 1011 deficit in the second set. The Panthers used their momentum to gain leverage in the set, taking 18-15. The Golden Eagles made strides to come back but were shut down with a Panther victory at 25-22.

Letting Marquette take a 17-3 lead in the third set, the Panthers couldn’t reverse the damages— ultimately falling, 11-25.

The third set loss gave UNI a 1-2 disadvantage as they entered the fourth set.

Taking turns with the lead,

the Panthers tied the set at 17-17 and 21-21. Junior Amie Held stepped up with two aces that earned UNI a 24-22 lead, resulting in a set-winning 25-23 victory.

The Panthers tied their last set of the season at 8-8.

But after a short 9-8 lead, they allowed the Golden Eagles a seven-point run that ended the set, 9-15, and the match, 2-3.

As a reflection of their season, UNI was not quick to give up their shot at the NCAA title. Five Panthers notched double-figure kills with Kayla Haneline with 14, Bri Weber and Lindsey Schultz at 11 and Amie Held and Piper Thomas at 10.

In addition to their kill records, Amie Held recorded 25 digs, while Ashlee Sinnott and Kendyl Sorge followed her lead with 16 and 15 of their own, respectively.

UNI ended the season, 19-15. The tournament appearance marks their third at-large bid in school history.

Piper Thomas (17) and Amie Held (3) both had 10 kills against Marquette. UNI finished the match with 60 kills.

Richmond’s raining threes snap Panthers’ five-game win streak BRANDON TJEPKES

Associate Sports Editor

The UNI men’s basketball team traveled to the University of Richmond on Saturday. The Panthers fell to the Spiders, 82-67, breaking their five-game winning streak.

The game started with both teams putting up a pair of three-pointers.

Matt Bohannon’s threepointer put UNI up, 6-5, but this was the only lead they could manage for the entire game.

Bohannon finished the game with a team-high 14 points. Good defense and precise shooting allowed Richmond to build their lead. The Spiders gained a 13-point lead with seven minutes left in the half.

UNI cut the lead down to seven but could not get any closer. The first half ended with a 39-28 Panther deficit.

The second half started with Richmond firing off

seven three-pointers. Their largest lead was 69-47 with eight minutes remaining.

Paul Jesperson did his best with a 5-0 run to bring the Panthers within 13.

Jesperson finished the game with 13 points.

UNI eventually cut the lead down to 11, but 1:38 was too short on time for a UNI miracle to happen.

While UNI had decent performances by Bohannon, Jesperson, and Wes Washpun who all scored more than 10 points, no other Panther was able to hit the double-digit mark.

The Spiders had five players score in the double digits thanks to 13 threepointers and Terry Allen, who led the game with 21 points and four threepointers. Richmond shot with 53.6 percent accuracy LOGAN WINFORD/Northern Iowan while holding UNI to 47.4 percent.
