Across the nation, people came together to remember the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. At Ground Zero, family members of those killed in the Twin Towers gathered at the newly opened 9/11 memorial to read the names of their loved ones. In California, people commemorated the anniversary by donating blood. In Shanksville, Pa., President Barack Obama laid a wreath of flowers at the site where United Flight 93 crashed. In Oklahoma, students came to see a beam from the World Trade Center. In Washington D.C., the military choirs sang “Amazing Grace” and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” in front of the Pentagon. Here in Cedar Falls, students and staff from the University of Northern Iowa, along with community

Ground Zero: then and now KARI BRAUMANN Editorial Staff
Before its destruction on Sept. 11, 2001, the World Trade Center was an international commerce hub and tourist attraction. After a decade of cleanup, building and planning, a new WTC is being built. According to the WTC’s website, the new complex will include five new skyscrapers, the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, the WTC Transportation Hub, several thousand feet of retail space and a performing arts
center. In their time, the Twin Towers and other low-rise buildings in the WTC complex provided office space for hundreds of corporate and government tenants. The new complex includes six office towers that will reintroduce that space to the lower Manhattan area. The tallest of the towers will be One World Trade Center, which will reach 1,776 feet. Upon its completion, it will be the tallest building in the United States and will include “office space, an observation deck, world-class
restaurants and broadcast and antennae facilities” according to the WTC website. The other skyscrapers at the new trade center will range in height and, like One World Trade Center, possess a different design and appearance from the original WTC buildings, whose addresses they will bear. No buildings will rise from the original site of the Twin Towers. Instead, the National September 11 Memorial and Museum will occupy that area. In the footprints of the See GROUND ZERO, page 2

There are 33 fewer students walking around the University of Northern Iowa’s campus this semester. The official fall 2011 enrollment for UNI is 13,168, which is 33 fewer students than for fall 2010. In a press release regarding the official announcement of the numbers, UNI President Benjamin Allen provided some explanations for the decrease. “Following four consecutive years of increased enrollment, the slight decline in new student enrollment mirrors the state’s decline in the number of seniors graduating from Iowa high schools,” Allen said. “In addition, we know that the economic needs of our students and families are great and that the economy is having a more significant impact on our students.” Terrence Hogan, VicePresident of Student Affairs, reaffirmed this. “We draw a vast majority of our students from Iowa, about 90 percent,” Hogan said. “So this is fairly comparable to the decline of potential students.” Hogan also said that although there is little statistical proof that the economy is affecting higher education, it goes without saying that the economy is indeed affecting those who may attend college. Hogan said that to combat the economic recession, for four years UNI has been targeting a growing proportion of financial aid to students with financial need. This has

helped people to some degree, but because of education cuts, there is a limit to the amount of money. “We are always working to try and make more and more prospective students consider UNI as an option,” Hogan said. “We are constantly trying to improve our methods we employ in trying to do that.” Despite the decreased enrollment, the enrollment for multicultural students increased to an all-time high of 7.4 percent of the student body this fall, while the enrollment for out-of-state students increased to 2 percent, according to a press release last week. “It is encouraging to see that our strategic efforts in out-of-state and multicultural recruitment are having a positive impact on our enrollment,” Allen said. Hogan said that UNI has made a specific effort to boost the diversity of the student body for three years and that this increase has been a positive result of that. He also explained that UNI has been striving to increase out-of-state enrollment as well. According to Hogan, the first regionally based recruiter is in northern Illinois and was there for the last cycle of enrollment, which may explain the increase. Allen confirmed the importance of enrollment to the UNI administration in the press release. “As always, growing enrollment at UNI will be a priority,” Allen said. Et cetera

REACHING FOR HIGHER GROUND
9/11 warrants critical discussion STEF MCGRAW
Opinion Columnist
When I heard this year’s “Reaching for Higher Ground” topic was “Community After 9/11,” I was disappointed. Don’t get me wrong — my heart goes out to those 3,000 individuals who lost their lives and their loved ones who have had to suffer as a result. But to be completely honest, I’m sick and tired of all the focus on how we’ve “come together as a nation” when so many negative consequences have come from this so-called “community.” However, when I actually looked at the list of Higher Ground events, I was pleasantly surprised. The University of Northern Iowa isn’t simply giving feelgood talks on how we’ve “risen up and overcome this,” but rather is promoting an honest, and most importantly, critical discussion of 9/11 and its consequences. By consequences, I’m not talking about the ones we typically think about, the ones that can be blamed on terrorists; I’m referring to the consequences stemming from America’s reaction to 9/11. Sadly, many of these reactions caused unthinking, unethical and even illegal end results. One of these consequences is the Patriot Act. In the name of fighting terrorism, the U.S. government decided that it should have the right to tap phone and Internet lines and have fewer restrictions on access to certain private records. In my mind, this is not only an unethical invasion of privacy but also an act that directly violates the Fourth Amendment, which protects us from unreasonable search and seizure. Another consequence of the reactions to 9/11 has been prejudice against people of the Muslim faith or of Arab descent. Now, that’s not to say that we necessarily need to like Islam itself — I don’t like any religion, in fact, and I do recognize that most of the terrorists were at least partially religiously motivated. However, this doesn’t mean I view all Muslim people as being connected with terrorism, because it’s simply not true. To be scared of all Muslims in this context is like being scared of all Christians because one murderer happened to be a Christian — it’s illogical and prejudicial. We’ve seen examples of this prejudice in at least one high-profile case — the so-called “Ground Zero
“
mosque.” The fact that so many people thought a mosque shouldn’t be allowed to be built near the site of the attacks shows both bigotry and an irreverence for our First Amendment right to religious freedom. When it comes to examples of prejudice against people of Arab descent, while they aren’t as publicized, it’s just as serious of an issue. According to the Arab American Institute Foundation, 20 percent of Arab Americans reported ethnic discrimination less than a month after 9/11, including bomb and death threats. While the Patriot Act and prejudice are both unfortunate results, perhaps the most pervasive, widespread consequence of 9/11 is what I would describe as an ardent, dogmatic patriotism. One of the best examples of this, perhaps, is many Americans’ reactions to the assassination of Osama Bin Laden. While I won’t even get into the moral arguments surrounding the act (though Department of Philosophy and World Religions head Jerry Soneson did an excellent job of addressing them in the first Reaching for Higher Ground event this past Saturday), what I am most struck by is the emergence of a dangerous “us versus them” mentality. We seem to care little about whether or not Bin Laden’s death objectively signifies a safer world, but rather that “justice” has been served, that we have destroyed the enemy, that America is number one and that nothing, not even Osama Bin Laden, can take that away from us. The wild partying and “U-S-A-U-S-A” chants that took place at the White House and Times Square solidifies the fact that we are more concerned with maintaining our superiority complex and celebrating revenge rather than truly trying to make the world a better, safer place in light of 9/11. As someone who was abroad while all this happened, I can tell you that to the rest of the world, these acts reeked of arrogance and a mindless mob mentality. In light of the consequences of 9/11 that are rarely discussed critically, I’m pleased that UNI is providing a forum where we can take a serious look at these issues, without fear of being labeled “unpatriotic.” I reject that label. If you truly love your country, you would take some time (and maybe even attend a Reaching for Higher Ground event) and think critically about how our nation has reacted to 9/11, and whether we have truly risen up to overcome this, or rather resorted to
...we are more concerned with maintaining our superiority complex and celebrating revenge rather than truly trying to make the world a better, safer place in light of 9/11.

Both of my parents went to the University of Iowa, and I, obviously, do not. I grew up on Iowa Hawkeye football and own one Hawkeye shirt. I use it once every college football season to wipe up the tears I shed after Iowa’s annual loss to Northwestern. I do this for two reasons: I cry a lot when Iowa loses a football game and I refuse to
wear Hawkeye gear on our campus. (Cue gasps.) If you are at all like me, you are apparently one of the lucky few who were allowed input while the discussion of where you’d be going to college was taking place between your parents. I somehow tricked my parents into allowing me to make the decision that I thought would be ”best for me.” But I understand not everyone is as sneaky as I am. That is why I only narrowly escape
emitting overly emotional displays of empathy as I observe the silent cries of those forced against their will to pursue their secondary education at our university. Students roam campus like disdainful zombies, seemingly void of emotion and feeling, sporting the only part of their wardrobe that clutches onto the hope from a simpler time.

FROM THE EDITOR
Support the
purple and gold BRAD EILERS Sports Editor
I traveled to Ames last weekend expecting to witness a great football match-up between our very own University of Northern Iowa Panthers and their in-state rivals, the Iowa State University Cyclones. I left Jack Trice Stadium disappointed, but not in the fact that the Panthers lost to the Cyclones 20-19. Don’t get me wrong; I would have loved to have seen UNI win, especially since they outplayed ISU for a majority of the game. The thing that disappointed me the most were the UNI “fans.” I’m not talking about the 5,000 Panther faithful who made the 90-mile trip to Ames; I’m talking about the numerous UNI graduates and -- worse yet -- the current UNI students who were in Ames wearing red and yellow cheering on the Cyclones. I realize we live in the “Hawkeye” state where a majority of the kids are raised to be fans of the University of Iowa Hawkeyes or the ISU Cyclones. It’s usually one or the other. UNI hardly gets mentioned. We are viewed as “the little brother school” to Iowa, Iowa State and their fans. It’s time to change that mentality. As previously stated, UNI lost to Iowa State, member of the Big 12 Conference, by one point last weekend, 20-19. During the Panthers’ last trip to Iowa City they experienced a similar fate, losing by one point, 17-16, at the hands of the “almighty” Hawkeyes from the Big 10 Conference. Hawkeye and Cyclone fans can gloat all they want about having beat UNI in football. However, if I were an Iowa or ISU fan, I would be a little embarrassed to have barely defeated a team who has a fraction of the athletic budget and scholarships that both Iowa and Iowa State have. Let’s not forget about the other sports the teams match up in. UNI athletic programs have consistently proven that they can compete and even surpass the level of our in-state rivals; in fact, I would be willing to argue that UNI has had the most successful men’s basketball team in the state over the past decade. How do you think the UNI studentathletes feel when they see members of the UNI student body wearing Iowa and Iowa State clothing on campus, let alone when they are competing against the Hawkeyes and Cyclones? UNI athletics demand respect, especially from their own student body. Instead of heading home, to Ames or to Iowa City for the weekend, why not try staying in Cedar Falls and supporting the UNI Panthers? The college students are what make the gameday experience great. Put on your purple and gold, be loud, be loyal and support the Panthers!

What NISG’s been doing for YOU SPENCER WALRATH Student Body President
We’ve been back to school for nearly a month and I think it’s about time to update you on what the Northern Iowa Student Government worked on over the summer. The very first thing that we did was start this column. Every week, Vice President Goldsmith and I write a column in the Northern Iowan to keep you in touch with us. This is something that we promised to do during our campaign as a way to increase transparency and reach out to you, and so far we have had a lot of fun with it. Keep checking back every week to see what new and exciting information and advice we have to share with you. When your new student government took office late last spring, we heard a number of complaints about the pedestrian bridge crossing Hudson Road. When that particular bridge gets wet, it becomes very hazardous and we had heard many reports of people slipping and falling while crossing the bridge. Your senators heard your voices and took action, passing a resolution requesting that the bridge be resurfaced. We are very fortunate to attend a university where the administrative staff actually listens to the students. As a result of the resolution, Facilities Services spent the summer trying to improve the slippery conditions for the immediate future, and the pedestrian bridge has been slated for renovation and improvements over the 2012 summer. One of the most common requests I receive is to allow skateboards and longboards to be used on campus. Those boards offer a compact and maneuverable alternative to walking, biking or driving to campus. Unfortunately, skateboards and longboards have been prohibited for use on campus – until now. Last Friday afternoon, Director of Public Safety David Zarifis stopped by my office to tell me that Public Safety would now permit both skateboards and longboards to be used on campus. You will still be cited if you damage University property, are operating a board in the parking garage or present a danger to pedestrians.
But, you can now ride a longboard to safely class without fearing reprimand from our police officers. Have you ever been bored on the weekends at UNI because there is nothing to do on campus? Hopefully, you will see that start to change. NISG has decided to start a trial program to offer additional funding, which includes funding for food, to student organizations that host a program on the weekends. NISG’s bylaws normally do not allow us to fund food, but we hope that if student organizations begin hosting events Friday evenings through Sunday afternoons, using food as an incentive to increase attendance, we can lose some of our stigma as a suitcase campus and provide a more enriching and safer weekend experience. NISG has also started to collaborate more with other student organizations. In the past, NISG’s role in many events was solely as a source of funding. Vice President Goldsmith and I both wanted to get NISG more directly involved with the events being planned around campus. The fruits of this new collaborative spirit will bloom in the coming months. NISG has partnered with the Center for Multicultural Education, Campus Activities Board and Reaching For Higher Ground to bring the film “Mooz-lum” to campus for a screening on Sept. 29 in the Maucker Union Ballroom. A Q-and-A session with the film’s director will follow the film, which follows a Muslim college student struggling with his faith leading up to and directly following the Sept. 11 attacks. NISG is also partnering with the Homecoming Committee and CAB to provide a free lunch at the Campanile on the Wednesday of Homecoming week. We feel that this is a great way to start the Homecoming celebrations and give you an opportunity to meet your student government leaders, who will be serving the food. We have accomplished so much more than I have been able to list here, and we have many other projects in the works. I look forward to being able to report even greater progress in the coming weeks. Go Panthers!
these individuals had ambition; then they had to graduate high school. Reality hit their dreams like the star linebacker from the football team that represents the school their shirt implies they wish they were currently attending. Like the defensive coordinator of that very team, their parents’ main goal was to be the immovable object in the headto-head competition with their dreams; the dreams that they greatly overestimated to be an unstoppable force. To describe myself as upset would be an understatement. I am fed up with parents shoving their unfulfilled hopes and dreams on their overburdened children, while teary-eyed high school students across the state are forced to hide their Cyclone graphic tees under their mattresses. These students need to take a play from Herky’s book and “fight, fight, fight” for what they believe in: a world in which students wear clothing that supports the very school they attend. In all honesty, I have never claimed to know anything about investments, but I believe one of the most worthwhile purchases a University of Northern Iowa student can make is one that acquires them some form of Panther paraphernalia. Nobody at a basketball game talks to the kid wearing a red hoodie in the student section of the McLeod Center. It may be comfortable, but your overuse of fabric softener due to your lack of experience washing your own clothes should never be the only comforting aspect of any situation (trust me). A very wise person once told me, “you don’t have to bleed purple and gold; you just have to wear it.” The way I see it, if you make an effort to love your school, it’ll love you right back.

Author speaks about missing news anchor AJ CASSIDY Staff Writer
Standing before an audience in the Center for Multicultural Education Thursday, author Beth Bednar asked a very pointed question to start her talk: “Why are all of you here?” Bednar, a former news anchor from KAAL-TV in Austin, Minn., was on campus to discuss a suspected murder that occurred 16 years ago – one that remains unsolved to this day. That case is the disappearance of Mason City news anchor Jodi Huisentruit on June 27, 1995. Bednar details the disappearance and possible solutions to the mystery in her new book, “Dead Air: The Disappearance of Jodi Huisentruit.” Of those in attendance, some were there for participation points for class, and several others grew up in the Mason City area, experiencing news of the events firsthand. Huisentruit’s unsolved abduction left an indelible mark on the people of Iowa, and on Bednar. As a news anchor in the same region as Huisentruit, Bednar described hearing the news of the abduction. “The day she disappeared, it hit so close to home, that it felt like someone punched me in the gut,” Bednar said. For research into her book, Bednar spent a year and a half conducting interviews and searching the site of the disappearance and surrounding vicinity.

Beth Bendar, author of “Dead Air: The Disappearance of Jodi Huisentruit,” discusses her book at the Center for Multicultural Education Thursday.
Some people shot down her requests, others angled for something in return and many spoke to her only on condition of anonymity. Even after all this time, Bednar found a wealth of information. “Most people are still fascinated, frankly,” said Bednar. “It’s still the highest-profile cold case in the history of Iowa. People don’t want to see it swept under the rug. This is one case where people still care.” During the visit to campus, Bednar answered questions about her process of writing the book, discussed the disappearance and read a section of the book about
one potential eyewitness on the morning of the disappearance. “My ultimate hope is that someone will come forward and say something. There’s got to be someone out there who knows something but is keeping quiet,” said Bednar. Dakota Fleshner, a junior elementary education major, enjoyed the talk and Bednar’s book. “I thought it was really interesting – I read it last August,” said Fleshner. “I’m from south of Mason City, so I grew up hearing about (the case), and I thought it was cool to hear.” Jake Green, a freshman See DEAD AIR, page 6
On Thursday, the University of Northern Iowa will be hosting speaker Frank Warren, the creator, founder and author of the PostSecret Project. PostSecret is one of the largest and most popular adfree blogs on the Internet and has been nominated for many awards over the past few years, including “Best American Weblog” and awards for advancing suicide prevention. According to www. PostSecret.com, “PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard.” PostSecret began in December of 2003 when Warren visited Paris, France, for the first time. The project was a dream that Warren had one night. Earlier that day, he had purchased a set
of Antoine de Saint-Expery postcards. That night, he dreamt about the postcards, each having a different message on the back, altering the postcard from its original form and thus morphing it into its own new piece of art. The first card had a message saying, “Unrecognized evidence, from forgotten journeys, unknowingly rediscovered.” Warren awoke the next morning and took out his recently purchased and dreamt-of postcards, attempting to recreate them as they appeared to him in his dream. A month later in January of 2004, the “reluctant oracle” project was born. The “reluctant oracle” was different from PostSecret in that Warren created a new message, a new work of art, every Sunday. He then released his new work of art to be discovered by See POSTSECRET, page 6
A4A kicks off year with ice cream social AJ CASSIDY Staff Writer
A large projection screen in the Oak Room of Maucker Union runs a looping video with harrowing statistics about the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. Students sit in rows of chairs watching the numbers scroll and listening to the narrators spell out the importance of this disease. Everyone is gathered to learn about the disease while mingling and helping themselves to an ice cream bar. The event is the Alzheimer’s Ice Cream Social, and it’s run by A4A,
the Advocates for Alzheimer’s student group at the University of Northern Iowa. Jessica Stakey, a senior elementary education major, is the group’s president and helped organize the event. “We were trying to think of some fun ways to grab people and promote it,” said Stakey. Stakey helped start the chapter at UNI last year with help from the Alzheimer’s Association outreach office in Cedar Falls. The group puts on a variety of events throughout the year, including QUASH (the Quest to Unravel Alzheimer’s Scavenger Hunt) and
the annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Stakey was inspired to get involved with the cause when her grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Even though she has personal history with the disease, Stakey stresses that the organization is something that addresses “a growing concern for everyone.” “As the Baby Boomer generation is aging, it’ll be all of us taking care of our family or friends,” she said. Several students in attendance made plans to join the ranks of the group, including Alexis Newberry, a sophomore finance and accounting major.
“I heard about (the ice cream social) during the Organization Fair today. Knowing what they do during the semester helps a lot,” said Newberry. Megan Fritz, a sophomore nursing major, was optimistic about the upcoming schedule of events, saying, “It’s cool that they have opportunities like the walk and QUASH.” A4A’s first official meeting of the semester is Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. in the College Eye Room in the basement of Maucker Union.

American flags were intermingled with the flags of 114 nations, representing the many nationalities of those killed on 9/11. Kristen Meyers, a senior political communications major, helped put on the event. She said that the choice to include more than American flags was a deliberate one. “It wasn’t just New York and Washington that got affected (by 9/11). It wasn’t just America. It was the whole world that was affected,” Meyers said. “If you’re an American today and you’re not affected, there’s a problem there. When your country gets attacked, that’s everyone’s business.”
“
The whole world was shattered. Parash Upreti
”
Freshman accounting major
Parash Upreti, a freshman accounting major from Nepal, came to plant a flag to “show solidarity with the United States.” Like Meyers, he noted that 9/11 had an international impact. Upreti recalled learning about the attacks the morning after they occurred because of the time difference between the U.S. and Nepal.
WHITNEY PHILLIPS/Northern Iowan
UNI faculty and students and community members plant a flag in Lawther Field in honor of those who died on 9/11.
“The whole world was shattered,” Upreti said. “We are affected too.” The ceremony was marked by four moments of silence to commemorate the moments when the World Trade Center Towers fell and the crashes at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania. Daniel Jensen, a senior geography major and a member of both the ROTC program and the National Guard, played “Taps” for each moment of silence. Jensen said he wanted to be involved to honor those lost on Sept. 11. “It’s vitally important to remember what happened and what the families went through and the lessons of that day,” Jensen said. Iowa State Representative Bob Kressig came to the ceremony and, like Jensen, noted the importance of remembrance. Kressig said he was happy to see an event put together by students who were young when 9/11 happened. “That’s gratifying that generation after generation won’t forget that 9/11 happened and that we’ll work to prevent it from happening again,” Kressig said. Rhonda Greenway, director of governmental relations for the Northern Iowa Student Government, said the event could help stu-

dents remember the impact of an event that happened early in their childhoods. “We have freshmen who were in third grade when the attacks happened, so it’s making sure that they’re cognizant of what happened,” Greenway said. For Amanda Arp, a sophomore English major, the event was “something that can bring us together.” She said that for her, the ceremony was not just about remembering those killed but about “our ability to bounce back from an attack like that.” The flag planting ceremony additionally served as a way to teach children who weren’t alive when the attacks happened. Kristin Moser, a senior research analyst for UNI’s Institutional Research, was one of many who brought children to the event. She and her 5-year-old son Holden planted flags. She said the event was a way both to “honor the day and to teach (Holden) about what happened.” The flags from the ceremony will remain in Lawther Field through this Friday. In Jensen’s opinion, this will “make a statement to campus.” “We won’t forget,” Jensen said. “That’s the biggest thing.”

The No. 15-ranked University of Northern Iowa volleyball team suffered their first loss of the 2011 season to the No. 6-ranked University of Minnesota Golden Gophers but still defeated Kansas University and St. Louis University in the process to take second place in the Clarion Innvitational. UNI’s first match of the tournament was against Kansas. Things were looking grim for the Panthers after losing the first two sets 19-25 and 20-25. However, UNI never gave up in the final three sets against the Jayhawks, winning by scores of 25-20, 25-8 and 15-8. Kansas (8-1) came into the first set on fire, but the Panthers clawed their way back to force six lead chang-
es and 10 ties in the set. Bre Payton tried rallying the team back by making the score 22-19, but it was the Jayhawks who put the last three points on the board to take set number one.
“
The work ethic is always there and we love kids who have a lot of pride in UNI. Bobbi Petersen UNI head volleyball coach
”
UNI (9-1) took an early 5-1 lead in the second set. However, it was Kansas who had a late 4-1 run to take the second set, 25-20. After the break, UNI had newfound energy and
defeated the Jayhawks 25-21 due to persistent play by the women around the net. The fourth set was dominated by the Panthers, who held Kansas to just seven kills while adding 16 of their own. Shelby Kintzel led the way with five of those kills, pushing the Panthers to a 25-8 win. UNI took control of the fifth and final set early on as they jumped out to a 5-1 advantage. The Panthers would push their lead to 14-7 before Krista DeGeest ended the match with a kill to give UNI the 3-2 win. The Panthers fared much better in their next match of the tournament when they faced the St. Louis Billikens (3-4). UNI swept SLU 25-21, 25-11 and 25-19. The first set was close until UNI took the victory See VOLLEYBALL, page 12
BRAD EILERS Sports Editor
Last year’s football match up between the University of Northern Iowa Panthers and the Stephen F. Austin University Lumberjacks was physical to say the least. UNI and SFA finished the game with a combined 20 penalties, six of which were either personal fouls or unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. The Panthers suffered a 22-20 defeat at the hands of the Lumberjacks in front of a UNI-Dome crowd of 12,260. However, this past weekend, the No. 4-ranked Panthers had revenge on their minds as they traveled to Homer Bryce Stadium in Nacogdoches, Tex., to face the No. 16-ranked Lumberjacks. UNI left Texas satisfied, with a hardfought 34-23 victory. The Panthers (1-1) were led by redshirt freshman running back David Johnson and senior quarterback Tirrell Rennie, who each rushed for two touchdowns in the contest. Johnson rushed for 87 yards on 31 carries, while Rennie recorded his eighth career game with more than 100 rushing yards at 126 yards on 19 carries. UNI posted 211 rushing yards en route to victory while limiting SFA’s vaunted passing attack to 281 yards. The Panthers were
outgained 407-362 in total yards but were able to force the Lumberjacks into four turnovers. Each of UNI’s three starting linebackers forced a turnover, with seniors Jordan Smith and James Conley each intercepting a Brady Attaway pass, while senior L.J. Fort forced and recovered a fumble. The Lumberjacks (1-1) opened the game with a nine-play, 68-yard scoring drive to take a 7-0 lead with 10:41 remaining in the first quarter. After punting on their first possession, the Panthers forced their first turnover of the game when Smith intercepted an Attaway pass in UNI territory. The Panther offense drove down the field to the SFA 26-yard line, where sophomore kicker Tyler Sievertsen connected on a 43-yard field goal to make the score 7-3 SFA with 3:11 left in the first quarter. Conley intercepted Attaway in the second quarter, returning it from the UNI 35-yard line to the SFA 46-yard line. Conley’s interception helped set up another Sievertsen field goal, this one from 22 yards away. Sievertsen’s field goal made the score 7-6 SFA with 5:10 remaining in the first half. The Lumberjacks responded with a 35-yard field goal of their own to See FOOTBALL, page 12

at 10-6 with 1:51 left in the second quarter. However, the SFA lead would be short-lived as UNI responded with a 10-play, 82-yard drive to take a 13-10 lead into the locker room. Johnson scored the go-ahead touchdown from one yard out. SFA would tie the game at 13-13 with 11:50 remaining in the third quarter, but would never regain the lead as UNI scored on an eight-play, 75-yard drive that was capped by a 20-yard touchdown run by Rennie to give UNI a 20-13 lead with 7:50 remaining in the third quarter. Another Lumberjacks field goal cut the UNI lead to 20-16, but the Panthers answered after Fort forced and recovered a fumble to give UNI possession at the SFA 22-yard line late in the third quarter. On the opening play of the fourth quarter Johnson found the endzone once again, giving UNI a 27-16 advantage. However, SFA refused to go away as they scored a touchdown with 8:40 remaining in the game to cut the UNI lead to 27-23. The Panthers were able to respond one more time, reeling off a 12-play, 65-yard drive that was capped by a nine-yard touchdown run from Rennie. The touchdown gave UNI a 34-23 lead with 3:10 remaining. Junior cornerback J.J. Swain recorded the Panthers’ third interception of the game with 1:38 left to seal the UNI victory. Rennie was nine-for-25 passing for 151 yards on the night. Senior receiver Jarred Herring led the Panthers with two catches for 60 yards. Smith led the UNI defense with 16 tackles. The Panthers have a bye week this Saturday and won’t play again until Sept. 24 when they host the Western Illinois University Leathernecks (1-1) for Family Weekend in the UNI-Dome. Kickoff is set for 4:05 p.m.

and all of the momentum away from SLU. The set was tied at 18-18, but UNI went on 7-3 run to take the first set. The second set was all about the Panthers, who recorded a .515 attack percentage for the set. UNI won 25-11. The Panthers ended the match after the third set in which they never trailed and took the win 25-19. UNI was led by Lehman, who had a career-high 14 kills. The final match of the tournament pitted the Golden Gophers (5-2) against the host Panthers. The first set went well for UNI as they took a 12-7 lead early on. The Gophers responded by tying the set at 19-19. The Panthers ended the first set with a kill by Kintzel, who received an assist from Payton, to make the final score 25-21. The Gophers dominated the Panthers in the second set, winning 25-12 to even the score at 1-1. “They kind of took us out of our game with the serve and we really just couldn’t fight back from that,” said UNI head coach Bobbi Petersen. The Gophers would go on to win the third set as well, again taking the Panthers completely out of the game. Minnesota jumped out to an early 17-7 lead and won
25-14. UNI responded by coming out of the locker room ready to take the fourth set. “The work ethic is always there and we love kids who have a lot of pride in UNI,” said Petersen. The Panthers showed determination in the fourth set as they jumped out to an early 9-2 lead. The Gophers came back to make it close at 18-15, but UNI outscored Minnesota 7-1 to take the set 25-16. With the match tied 2-2 it came down to the fifth set between the two top-15 ranked teams. The score of the fifth set was notched at 7-7 until Minnesota started to pull away. The Panthers were able to pull within three points to make the score 13-10, but they did not score another point and the Gophers took the set 15-10 and won the match 3-2. “What’s good about it is we definitely know we were right in there with the No. 6 team in the country,” Petersen said. “There are a lot of things that I feel we can control that we didn’t control tonight, which will obviously help us as we head into the rest of our season.” The Panthers will be looking to rebound from their first loss as they host in-state rival Iowa State University at 7 p.m. on Tuesday in the McLeod Center.
