Panthers are back in session

Ruud and NISG welcome students back to campus NISG Welcome Letter

I am excited to welcome you to the beginning of a new academic year at the University of Northern Iowa! After completing my first year at UNI, I can tell you it is a great time to be a Panther!

We are proud of the rigor and integrity of our academic programs, and we continue to enhance our facilities and learning spaces for students.

We are completing some major construction changes on campus, including the demolition of Baker Hall and the landscaping, which allows for some great views of the campanile from the south side of campus, the renovation of Bartlett Hall to provide enhanced faculty office and collaborative learning spaces and we have upgraded the Rod Library to design the Learning Commons, which has created a dynamic learning and social space for students. I encourage you to take advantage of all that UNI and the Cedar Valley has to offer.

I want to extend a special welcome to all new students and faculty! You bring a vibrant sense of intellect and excitement that is appreciated by all. At UNI, we place a high value on education that embraces a diversity of ideas and increases students’ depth of intellectual inquiry and discovery.

I encourage everyone to discover new opportunities, challenge yourself and become engaged with the campus and local community.

I urge all students to stop by the Student Involvement Center in Maucker Union to learn about the more than 250 student organizations and the multitude of leadership programs that are available.

Also, plan to attend events in the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center, UNI-Dome and McLeod Center. Support our student performances and cheer on your Panther athletic teams!

You can even share your Panther Pride with others through our Panther Push program in Admissions (please call Jenny Connolly for details: 319273-2281).

I am thrilled to begin the 2014-15 academic year!

Purple for life!

One hurt in collision AMBER ROUSE

Executive Editor

A two-vehicle crash was reported shortly before 6:30 p.m. Sunday, August 24th at the intersection of 20th and Olive streets near campus.

The crash between a Honda CRV and a Pontiac Grand Prix caused the CRV to turn over on its side, trapping the driver in the vehicle. Cedar Falls police say the driver of the CRV was taken to the hospital for precautionary measures.

Christopher Holmes, 24, of Cedar Falls was driving the Grand Prix when the vehicles collided. Holmes said he was driving down Walnut Street when he turned on 20th Street and came to the Olive and 20th intersection. Holmes said the CRV came out of nowhere.

AMBER ROUSE/Northern Iowan

At the corner of Olive and 20th streets a Honda CRV turned on its driver’s side after colliding with Pontiac Grand Prix. Driver of the CRV was taken to the hospital for precautionarymeasures.

Both Holmes and the passenger were wearing their seat belts when the crash occurred, said Holmes. Holmes said he was driving between 20 and 25 miles per hour just before

Lt. Smith of Cedar Falls Police Department said there didn’t appear to be any serious injuries. There are no further developments at this point.

would require the off campus apartments to sponsor their own stops along the bus route.

“UNI students shouldn’t have to pay for an off campus resource. Students have no reason why they should pay for someone else who lives off campus to use the shuttle,” said Gartman, senior business teaching major.

Towards the end of last school year, he approached each of the apartment complexes the shuttle stops at to inform them that if the apartments would not pay their share of the costs, $10,000 this school year, their stop would be pulled from the bus

route.

“We were able to get sponsorships and maintain our bus stops with Hillcrest Apartments and University Mills Apartments,” Gartman said, “unfortunately, we were not able to complete one with Campus Courts Apartments so we are no longer stopping there.”

With the removal of Campus Courts as one of the stop locations, Gartman felt as though the students that were living there would be inconvenienced so he has been working with the shuttle on a solution to pick the students up a block away See SHUTTLE, page 3

With the start of the new school year, many students are finding that they need to re-learn the Panther Shuttle bus schedule.

Towards the end of last school year, current Student Body President, Kevin Gartman, worked with former Student Body President, Tom Madsen and local apartments on the Panther Shuttle’s financial condition.

At the time, the University’s bus system was using $40,000 a year in student fees, approximately $3.28 per student, to maintain and upkeep the shuttle

In addition to the removal of Campus Courts as a stop location, Gartman worked with Madsen as well as with Hillcrest Apartments to add a second stop location at Hillcrest Apartment Clubhouse.

With the addition of the Clubhouse and the removal of Campus Courts, the organizers of shuttle operations announced they would only be making 17 stops rather than 20 like last year. They also said that a stop would occur every 35 minutes which is five minutes longer than last year.

Gartman said that the largest criticism last year from students was that the bus would be a couple of minutes late. His solution to the problem was to add an extra five minutes between stops, allowing for environmental hazards beyond the bus driver’s control.

“I had a problem in my schedule,” Jasmine Hernandez, a junior transfer student majoring in Sociology and Religion said, “the schedule online was off by 10 minutes from the bus schedule at the stop so I had to call the shuttle where I had to wait 45 minutes and they had to send somebody in a van to come pick me up because I couldn’t get back to ROTH.” The changes in the schedule are affecting not only new students, but also returning students who are not used to the changes in the schedule.

“Last year I stayed in ROTH and took the bus,” Kenneth Woods, a junior Textile and Apparel major said, “I am confused and I am trying to figure out the new times.”

Like the U.S. government, the three branches keep each other in check and work together to keep

the UNI student body’s best interests in mind. These students represent UNI to administration, Iowa Board of Regents, Iowa legislature and the Cedar Falls community.

NISG funds all of the student organizations on campus and is also a source for campus and community services. NISG works on issues such as tuition, financial aid, student rights, education and equality amongst other things. They encourage students to take part in

VOLUME 111, ISSUE 1

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Welcome students!

You are officially a part of our Panther family!

Beginning your college experience is one of the most exciting and important things you will do in your life, and I encourage you all to jump in feet first. There are a plethora of opportunities for you at UNI. There are 300 plus student organizations, there is no better time to discover your passions than now.

I came to UNI as a transfer student. While attending the community college in my hometown, I didn’t join any groups, meet new people or venture to find out if something in my college career would spark an unknown passion.

After I decided to come to UNI, my mother told me, “Now, Amber, you’re going to meet a lot of new people and do a lot of exciting things.

Remember to always love what you’re doing and enjoy this time in your life where it’s OK to make mistakes. You’ll learn from them, move on and grow into a better person because of those mistakes. This is your time to figure out the rest of your life.”

The advice she gave stuck with me from starting out as an English major, switching to communications, then combining the two for a double major. In the beginning of my first year here,

a good friend of mine, one of the former campus life editors, encouraged me to join the Northern Iowan as a staff writer. I had little experience with newspaper writing. My high school paper only published once a month and I was nervous about putting myself out there.

It wasn’t until the middle of my second year that she finally persuaded me to test the waters. There was so much I was missing from my college experience that I didn’t realize until then. I found out I loved writing, and the more I became involved, the better I began to feel about exposing myself to the possibilities at UNI. From there, I joined the rugby and tennis teams; for a short amount of time I hunted horcruxes hidden around campus for the Harry Potter club; I became a big supporter of the various plays, shows and music performances on and off campus, signed up for study abroad and, most importantly, met amazing people from all over campus and made important connections with students, faculty and community members I never thought I would meet.

Through it all I have realized this never would have been possible without the advice from my mother and my friend pushing me into something she knew would help me grow and cre-

ate the experience of a lifetime. There has never been a dull moment since.

Looking at all of the opportunities I have put effort into, I notice this is a college experience I have built uniquely to my hobbies, interests and curiosities. While I must give credit to those who have supported my career at UNI, one thing is for sure: you have the power to create a college experience that caters to your individual needs. You can join as many or as few groups as you’d like.

Your endeavors at UNI will provide you with memories you will not soon forget. Whether it is joining an organization, hanging out with new friends or pulling all-nighters, you have the power to take your life in the direction you choose, even if it does take you through an unexpected twist. Embrace the people, events and oddities you encounter at UNI, for it will help broaden your horizon and open your minds to greatness.

And as your adventures lead you around crazy, fun paths, don’t forget to grab your campus paper, the Northern Iowan. We are a student-run and student-produced newspaper that is here to serve as your companion and provide the “scoop” about news, campus and community activities and how it is going to affect you.

You also have the

chance to join our staff this year. If you like to write, take photos, design or all three, the Northern Iowan can provide you with the means to do so.

Working at the campus paper will bring you into the loop of the goings-on at UNI. One of the best parts about joining our staff is that you don’t have to have any journalism skills; we will teach you all you need to know!

So if you are eager to jump into the water, consider joining our staff, where you will meet amazing people and craft important skills. Visit our website at northerni o w a n . o rg / e m p l o y m e n t

for more information, and don’t be afraid to contact us.

Always remember to put your studies first, but enrich your college experience by doing what I was first afraid to do: put yourself out there. You will not regret it, and it will provide you with a college experience you will cherish for the rest of your life. So go! Enjoy what UNI has to offer and fill your days with good people, good events and good classes. Your life as a Panther awaits you.

Get your outdoor fix in the Cedar Valley Riley Cosgrove Staff Writer

The Cedar Valley is equipped with all types of outdoor activities that will help you make the most of your time at UNI. From swimming, to outdoor trails and even camping, the Cedar Valley has enough to keep you outdoors while the weather is still warm.

The Falls Aquatic Center: Located in Cedar Falls at 3025 South Main Street, the Falls Aquatic Center is an easy 10 minute walk or 5 minute bike ride from campus. The Falls is equipped with three distinct pool areas, handicapped accessible water entries, concessions, shade structures, lounge chairs and water activities that are sure to help cool you off on a hot summer day.

You can ride both slides with or without a tube.

Patrons can exit the splash down area or stay on the tube and float into the 450foot long lazy river, complete with fountains, sprays, rapids and falling water. If you are with children or unexperienced swimmers, The Safari Falls section features a beach-style entry,

Ice Water Challenge for a cause KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer

Get the bucket ready and the cold water running. This summer the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has gone viral the challenge helps raise money and awareness for ALS research.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, affects the motor neurons that travel from the brain to the spinal cord and the spinal cord to the body’s muscles.

When these motor neurons die, the brain loses the ability to initiate and control muscle movement.

There are a few different variations on how the ice bucket challenge works. Most challenges involve someone recording a challenger being doused with ice water, nominating others to do the same and posting the video to social media sites such as Facebook or Twitter with #icebucketchallenge. Some donate money to the ALS Association and some do both.

AMBER ROUSE/Northern Iowan

Katie Short, a junior supply chain management major, participates in the ice bucket challenge. This viral challenge allows for the recognition and raising money for ALS.

Interim Executive Vice President and Provost Michael Licari accepted the

challenge when the Panther Marching Band nominated him, but he was thinking of

Cliff Chancey, former head of the physics department, who passed away from ALS last

fall.

“The ALS Association has raised more than $50 million just from ice bucket challenges alone. They raised $64 million in all of last year, according to Time.com, so the challenge has dramatically improved their fundraising.”

Joel Wauters, freshman political science major said, “I’m a type one diabetic, I know there are much more serious diseases than diabetes that deserve recognition.

I want to do this to help, not just raise awareness for it, but help do whatever I can to help get rid of it.”

With the viral aspect of this fundraising technique, more people are getting involved.

“I think people are doing it because it’s simple, fun and for a good cause. It’s also something anyone can do, even little kids,” Licari said.

Parker Craw, second year graduate student, thought this way of spreading awareness was effective.

Recruiting new panthers RACHEL BALDUS tation staff helped volun-

Campus Life Editor

A sea of purple flooded the McLeod Center Sunday evening as incoming freshmen and transfer students got a taste of what it means to be a Panther at the first annual Panther Kick-Off. At this new tradition, students got to know one another, learned the interlude and met University President Bill Rudd and his wife, Judy.

Students who were part of the UNI summer orien-

teer at the Panther Kick-off.

Madison Gavin, sophomore elementary education major, helped direct the new students to the McLeod center. She estimated that anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 new students would be occupying the bleachers.

“It welcomes all of the new students to campus right off the bat. It gives them a feeling of unity for the University by getting them all together with matching T-shirts and tak-

ing a class picture, they can feel like they are actually part of something here,” Gavin said.

Students that attended the event were given a free purple UNI t-shirt to support the University.

Amber Drilling, early childhood education and elementary education double major, is an incoming transfer student who attended the event. She decided to go to find out more about UNI and its traditions.

Executive Editor

Under white tents set up outside of the Center for Multicultural Education, students kicked off the first day of classes at the University of Northern Iowa with a barbecue and entertainment hosted by the CME. UNI Catering provided free food and beverages while students enjoyed live music, volleyball games and sack races.

Live entertainment included a DJ and a performance by the Brazilian 2wins, a pop-jam rock music group from Rio de Janiero.

Jackie Rangel, program assistant at the CME and UNI alumna, planned the barbecue for the first time.

“This is not a one woman show,” Rangel said about planning the event.

BASIC College Ministry and InterVarsity volunteers pitched in. “I’m very grateful for them being here,” Rangel said.

Students who took advantage of the free food and entertainment grabbed the opportunity to socialize and meet new people as well.

“Everything is so new” said Lea Davis, junior mathematics major and first-year transfer student.

Rangel hopes to continue planning the annual event, as it is a big part of Welcome Week.

“I like to out-do myself,” Rangel said about future planning. “It makes me happy to see students in bulk.”

Students have the opportunity to go to many theatrical shows offered in the Cedar Falls/Waterloo area. These performances can be found on campus, nearby in Cedar Falls or a short drive away in Waterloo.

On campus, there is the UNI Theater Department, which performs at StrayerWood Theater. Whether a theater major or not, all UNI students have the opportunity to be a part of shows which include acting, ushering, building and painting sets or participating as an audience member for free with a UNI ID. “In the course of the four years of a student’s tenure at UNI, we seek to provide a range of theatrical experiences that encompass contemporary, historical, global and socially relevant plays to enhance the educational experience of the UNI student. Theatre UNI offers students free access to thought-provoking

and entertaining cultural events,” said Eric Lange, Theatre Department head.

There will be five shows with two in the fall semester and three in the spring.

The Sweetest Thing in Baseball by Rebecca Gilman will be the first show performed Oct. 9-12, 16-19.

be from Feb. 20-22, 27-28 and March 1.

“It seems like prices for everything keep going up.

Nine years ago we lowered our student ticket price to $10 and it’s the same price today. At our theatre it’s affordable for most people to see live performance. We give people what they want because most of our shows are comedies or musicals and are great fun. People want to go out and have a good time, be entertained.

We provide that year round,” said John Luzaich, general manager of the Oster Regent Theatre.

Regular show times are at 7:30 p.m. and matinees are at 2 p.m. For more information, check out their website at www.osterregent. org or their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ osterregent.

ducted at the beginning of the school year. The marching band holds no auditions for wind players, but ones for the color guard and percussionists.

Emily Bachmeier, a sophomore math education major and member of the Northern Iowa Symphony Orchestra said, “It wasn’t really difficult to audition for and get in, I just had to play a solo piece and some scales.”

On the vocal side of the School of Music, there

are ensembles such as the UNI Varsity Men’s Glee Club (under the direction of Professor John Wiles) and UNI Singers (under the direction of Dyan Meyer), as well as opportunities to explore the world of opera.

The opera department’s range of students varies depending on the production that will be produced.

“We try and pick repertoire that accommodates as many people as are interested in a given semester, and usually

have a large number of interested participants. But we’re always looking for more,” Professor Korey Barrett said.

Usually voice majors or students studying applied voice are found in the group, but all are welcome to audition. Auditions require of the memorization of classical repertoire and are held at the beginning of the fall semester for the production of that semester. The same process occurs for spring productions.

Hit the right note on campus KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer

The School of Music, part of the College of Humanities, Arts and Sciences, is home to an assortment of bands and choral groups ranging from marching band and opera to jazz and orchestra.

There are four large group bands on campus. The marching band, under the direction of Professor Dan Galyen, consists of 280 members.

They play at halftime for home football games and the away Iowa and Iowa State games. The symphonic band consists of 60 students under the direction of Galyen. They perform four to six concerts a year. The wind symphony is under the direction of Professor Ronald Johnson and consists of 40 members.

They perform four to six concerts a year and made their second trip to Italy for a fifth European concert tour. The band graduate assistants lead the concert band, consisting of 60 students in their two concerts each year.

“I think we all love the energy and level of dedication of the students in the bands. Every rehearsal with them is a great rehearsal, and their commitment to being expressive through music is incredible,” Galyen said.

For a majority of the ensembles, auditions are con-

The UNI Men’s Glee Club performs their annual Christmas concert. The Glee Club is internationally known, and tickets for their concerts sell out quickly.

“I love seeing students grow into their own skin semester after semester, and love witnessing their technical and artistic growth. I also enjoy the variety of repertoire we get to perform,” Barrett said.

One of the more recognized vocal groups on campus is the UNI Varsity Men’s Glee Club. The glee club’s most noted concert of the year is their annual Christmas Variety Show. They also travel and will be touring Spain for their 2014 International Tour. Their group consists of 100 men and was founded in 1960 by Les Hale. They are currently under the direction of Professor John Wiles.

Other vocal groups recognized on campus are the UNI Singers, the Women’s Chorus and ensembles Cantorei and Concert Chorale.

Lauren Schmitt, a senior leisure, youth and human services major, gerontology minor and past member of the women’s chorus said, “We auditioned mostly so Professor Meyer could hear our voices separately and know which voice part of place us in.”

The women’s group is under the direction of Dyan Meyer and usually does not travel. Auditions for the choral groups are held at the beginning of the fall semester.

KICK-OFF

Nicholas Bonde, a freshman chemistry major said, “My favorite parts of the kick-off were interacting with many other incoming students and receiving words of wisdom from the Faculty and Students that spoke at the event.”

Two students, Spencer Dale, a criminology major and Laurie Novak, an early childhood education and elementary education dou-

ble major, both thought the event would allow them to meet other new students coming in to UNI. Novak said that she liked all the students gathering in the center and participating in the dance together.

“I thought this event went very well. It is hard to believe that this was the first year that this event was done. I think it is very beneficial for incoming students. It definitely makes them feel more welcomed to the campus and part of the panther team,” Bonde said.

“On Facebook this is the only thing you see. It seems like everyone and their mother is doing it,” said Craw Viral challenges such as the Polar Plunge and the Ice Bucket Challenge have been successful and other organizations may try to implement this way of fundraising for their own charities.

Licari said, “They can try, but these things just take on a life of their own.

It might be difficult to plan a formal campaign and get the same “viral” results.

But if they can come up with a fun and simple activity it just might work!”

For those who are hesitant on taking the chal-

lenge, Wauters said, “Do it not just for the fun of it but do it also for the meaning behind it to help raise awareness.”

Panthers start season at Iowa RILEY UBBEN

Despite being effective on offense, the UNI defense allowed 201 yards rushing in their last meeting against the Hawkeyes in 2012.

“Their (Iowa) offensive line is what makes their running backs great,” said Farley. “I think every team knows what they are going to run, but they still find a way to move that line of scrimmage.”

Senior defensive lineman Xavier Williams started 11 games last season for the Panthers and recorded 75 total tackles along with five and a half sacks.

“Xavier is critical because he is the anchor of our whole defense,” said Farley. “When you’re playing a football team that established themselves in the run game first, his play is critical to our success.”

The 17th meeting between the Panthers and the Hawkeyes is set to kickoff at 11 a.m. August 30 in Iowa City.

The Panthers travel to Iowa City on Saturday for their season opener as they take on the Iowa Hawkeyes. Last time the two in-state rivals squared off, the Hawkeyes topped the Panthers 27-16.

UNI has never defeated Iowa at Kinnick Stadium as the Hawkeyes have won 15 straight in the series.

“You have to embrace the hype,” said UNI head coach Mark Farley. “It is a bunch of young men that get the opportunity to play at Kinnick. It is a neat experience for them and it is a neat opportunity.

But there is also a job to do.”

Sports Network Preseason All-American running back David Johnson has appeared in four games against Division I Football Bowl Subdivision teams, recording 757 all-purpose yards for the Panther rushing attack. Last time Johnson faced the Hawkeyes he racked up 154 total yards and added a touchdown.

“It is an opportunity for us to display who we are as a program as much as who they are individually,” said Farley.

“This is an opportunity for

The Panthers, Cyclones, and Hawkeyes are finally set to hit the gridiron. Each year, the University of Northern Iowa

will either play the University of Iowa or Iowa State University in football. Unfortunately, there is talk of Iowa State and Iowa not wanting to play UNI in football games like they have done in basketball.

These teams need to play each other for the fans of the schools. The UNI games are some of the biggest draws for both schools.

The University of Northern Iowa women’s soccer team split their first two home games of the season. They fell to Iowa 0-1 in double-overtime

Friday night and defeated St. Ambrose 1-0 in a tightly contested game Tuesday.

Iowa recorded 11 shots on goal while UNI took three shots with only one on target.

IN-STATE

continued from page 13

When Iowa State played the Panthers last year, they drew a sold out crowd of 56,800. This was tied for first in attendance amongst Iowa State’s home games. Back in 2011, the Panthers played the Cyclones at Jack Trice Stadium with an attendance of 54,672. While not the largest of the year, it was still third in attendance amongst their home games. There were more people there than when the Cyclones beat the second ranked Oklahoma State University Cowboys.

Iowa is harder to differentiate the numbers because they have sold out all of their home games in the last two years they played the Panthers. It is still important that UNI posted a sold out crowd with the likes of University of Michigan, Penn State University, and University of Arizona coming to town.

Iowa and Iowa State cannot cite financial reasons as to why they do not want to play.

While they pay UNI to come play them, UNI brings a lot of fans who contribute to the

local economy.

There is one other reason these schools are concerned with playing UNI. Since UNI is a Football Championship Subdivision school, Iowa and Iowa State think the Panthers are not up to their quality of play. This is untrue because UNI has given these schools a good matchup. In the last two games against Iowa State, UNI is 1-1. UNI is 0-2 against Iowa in the last two matchups, but they lost by an average of six points.

With these close matchups, Cyclone and Hawkeye fans argue this is UNI’s biggest game. It is hypocritical for fans to say this. Athletes are taught to create a reason why they want to beat the other team. Some UNI players use the reasons such as they were not offered a scholarship by Iowa State or Iowa to motivate them in these games.

Iowa and Iowa State considering to not play UNI is a bad idea. It is bad for the fans, the athletes and the local economies. The “big brother” schools see this as a lose-lose for them, but they are wrong.

It will be a lose-lose for the state of Iowa.

One of the Panthers that had an injury riddled year was running back David Johnson, who currently sits at sixth on the Northern Iowa career rushing touchdown list. Johnson rushed for 1291 yards last season while adding 14 touchdowns and 393

yards receiving out of the backfield. Linebacker Jake Farley returns from a season-ending leg injury suffered in the fifth game of the season against North Dakota State. Farley had 56 tackles and a fumble recovery for a touchdown.

Seth Tuttle led the team in scoring with 15.4 points per game and rebounding with eight per game.

Tuttle was named FirstTeam All-Missouri Valley Conference last season, the first Panther to do so since 2011. Keep an eye on MVC All-Bench Team and MVC Most Improved Team performer Nate Buss this season. Buss started just four games but appeared in 28 while averaging 10.6 points per game and five rebounds.

Panthers also return point guard Deon Mitchell, who averaged 12.1 points per game.

Dylan Peters finished sixth in the NCAA Tournament, the highest a freshman has finished in the tournament since UNI assistant coach Mark Schwab finished in 1986. Peters finished with a record of 28-4 with a dual record of 13-0. He also posted 18 pins which ties him for fourth on the All-Time list at UNI. Fellow freshman Cooper Moore was ranked as high as 11th in the nation while tallying a season record of 23-6. Both Peters and Moore were Mid-American Conference Champions last season.

Sophomore Kinsey Caldwell finished second in the Missouri Valley Conference with 10.84 assists per set in her first season at UNI. Caldwell led the Panthers in assists with 1,290 and service aces with 32. Caldwell recorded 40 or more assists in 19 matches last season. Senior Eryca Hingtgen started all 31 matches for UNI while ranking third on the team with 23 service aces and fourth with 303 kills and 164 digs.

“We knew Iowa was going to have the ball a lot,” said UNI head coach James Price. “We had a game plan and we stuck to it. I thought we worked extremely hard, were very organized and very disciplined throughout the game.”

The Panthers first shot on goal came from junior midfielder Annie Dale in the first overtime. 11 seconds later, fellow junior midfielder Maggie Riley had an opportunity to give UNI the lead, but the shot sailed over the top of the net.

“We had probably the best chance of the game to score and it didn’t quite get there,” said Price.

The Hawkeyes scored the game-winning goal with three minutes left in the second overtime to seal the win.

UNI had more control of the ball on Tuesday night against St. Ambrose as they fired 17 shots with five of those shots on goal. Dale had eight shots, but the one on target would prove to be the difference in the match.

Freshman defender, Haley Kerns set up the only goal of the night. Kerns sent in a cross that connected with the head of Dale and found its way into the back of the net in the 84th minute of play. The goal marked the Panthers first of the season.

Sophomore goalkeeper

Whitney Blunt registered the shutout while fending off two shots on goal. St. Ambrose had just six shots total on the evening.

UNI will play their first away game of the season as they travel to Green Bay on Friday to take on the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix.
