I decided to go to each candidate’s forum because I wanted to be informed about each candidate’s plans and vision for UNI’s future. As students, we will all be affected by the decisions made by our new president. I have been surprised by how different the three presidential candidates are, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. By attending the forums, they have helped me to place a face to the potential new leadership for our university.

What do you

Members of the Cedar Valley community and University of Northern Iowa students gathered Feb. 2 at University Book and Supply for a discussion of the impacts of cities on climate change.

The event was part of an American Democracy Project series called “News Talk.”

Gowri Betrabet Gulwadi, associate professor of applied human sciences, presented on the efforts of global cities to tackle the problems presented by a changing climate.

“Cities can be very vibrant centers and they have a lot they can offer in terms of being the epitome of human success and achievement,”Gulwadi said. “They can also be heavy

Heavy snowfall caused some students and faculty to question the actions of University of Northern Iowa officials when classes were held until 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 30.

“There are two related decisions that are made: one to cancel classes and one to move the university to reduced operations or close the university,” said Michael Hager, vice president for administration and financial services.

Hager said the decision to

cancel classes is made by the executive vice president/ provost and the decision to reduce operations is made by the Vice President for Administration and Financial Services.

According to Hager, UNI uses data from the National Weather Service, along with other weather sources, when determining the severity of a storm.

When the snowstorm hit Jan. 30, Hager said the campus looked like it was okay at 5:30 a.m. and that the grounds crew was ahead of schedule. However, from 7:30-8:30 a.m., the wind dramatically changed the look of campus.

“While we strive to make the correct decision in advance, hindsight always provides a clearer basis for the decision and helps inform future decision making,” Hager said.

Josiah Cuellar, a junior communication major was walking to his Introduction to Psychology class in Sabin Hall on Jan. 30 when he fell on the ice outside of Gilchrist Hall and broke his ankle.

“I soon realized I couldn’t walk,” Cuellar said, referring to when he tried to get up after his fall and walk to class. < See SNOW, page 2

”

For both forums, I was happy to see so many people attend. It was a great chance for the UNI community to ask the candidates about the issues that they care about. I also thought the forums were useful to see the candidate in a public speaking setting.

I think both candidates have strengths that will serve UNI well.

I liked how William Ruud emphasized UNI as “THE regional comprehensive university for Iowa.” For (Avijit) Ghosh, I liked his discussion on the importance of engaging alumni. Now, I am looking forward to hearing the third candidate speak so that I can compare the three candidates on a whole. I would like to hear all three speak before picking my favorite candidate.

University of Northern Iowa Public Safety drove him back to his residence in Shull Hall.

The next day, Cuellar went to the UNI Student Health Clinic, where they informed him that he needed X-rays performed. Cuellar received X-rays at Sartori Memorial Hospital and learned that he would need surgery.

“It was really kind of a shock to me that campus wasn’t closed,” Cuellar said.

“I guess I feel like my accident could have been preventable.”

Claire Reinhard, a freshman deciding major, said that she did not have issues walking to class.

“I was a little bit surprised by (the university staying open), because I would have expected it (would close) since it was a blizzard outside.

Another part of me wasn’t too surprised… since I live right here on campus, it wasn’t too difficult,” Reinhard said.

to the presidential candidate visit that day.

“I believe the administrators placed an emphasis on interviewing a potential presidential candidate than student safety,” Gage said. “I think there’s a definite problem with that, they could’ve rescheduled it.”

At press time, University Relations chose not to comment on the exact reason UNI did not cancel classes. Hager and Provost Gloria Gibson could not be reached for specific comment on the matter.

The University of Northern Iowa’s policy for Weather/Working Conditions states that “University faculty, staff and students shall have the opportunity to make their

own decision about reporting to work or class with due consideration for travel safety conditions.”

This same policy also says that UNI will “continue normal hours of operation and maintain a regular work schedule for staff members during periods of severe weather and/or adverse working conditions.”

Joey Anderson, a sophomore marketing major, believes that the university should have canceled classes last Wednesday.

“Even though most of my classes were canceled by my professors, it was still dangerous to be driving, or even walking out there … I think there should’ve been a snow day, just so students and professors could’ve stayed safe at home,” Anderson said.

you’re having this heat differential, and it also increases air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions because of the increase in energy demand,” Gowri said.

Gowri continued, saying that increasing heat has led to increased rainfall. With the increase in rainfall, cities may have to deal with worse water runoff problems.

Additionally, Gowri discussed the affect on human health, including worsening heat illness and respiratory and allergic reactions brought about by a warmer planet.

Gowri finished her discussion with the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group.

The climate initiative, which began with 40 international cities, has expanded to 58 participants. The cities work collaboratively to reduce their impact on the environment and have collectively taken 4,734 actions to reduce their environmental impact.

Actions taken by cities include the construction of green roofs, buildings with gardens planted atop the structure and installation of permeable concretes that soak up water and reflect heat instead of absorbing it.

Frank Darrah, Cedar Falls Ward 5 Councilmember, also spoke about local action

against climate change.

Darrah centered his presentation on the reconstruction of University Avenue. The road, which is owned and maintained by the Iowa Department of Transportation and not the city, will be rebuilt in the coming years as a four-lane road, reduced from its current six lanes. Roundabouts will be installed at select intersections to reduce traffic congestion at stoplights.

Darrah also hopes to increase awareness of electronic waste recycling and subsidies for wind energy provided by the city, and he acknowledged that the “city is not there yet” on targeting climate change.

Heather Walk, a UNI senior criminology major,

attended the discussion as part of a class assignment.

“It was really interesting from a college student’s perspective,” Walk said. “I didn’t know what the community was doing about (climate change.)”

While Walk was not moved to take action, the presentation did affect her view of those who are involved.

“It helps me be more supportive,” she said of the discussion.

THINKSTOCK

You can handle the truth BLAKE RUANE

ruaneb@ uni.edu

What I would like for you to do is to pretend with me for a minute.

Pretend there are two roommates. Now, these roommates are on friendly terms, but they’re by no means best or even close friends.

Roommate 1 wants to throw a party, but doesn’t want Roommate 2 to be there. Roommate 2 wants to be involved, but doesn’t know how to ask.

Hilarious (but ultimately frustrating) hijinks ensue.

In the famous words of Paul Newman’s title character in the 1967 film classic “Cool Hand Luke,” what we have here is a failure to communicate.

Roommate 1 is too nice to tell Roommate 2 the ugly truth, and Roommate 2 is too weak-willed to come out and admit their true feelings.

Roommate 1 is hamstrung by the simple fact that society preaches honesty, but not honesty that might hurt the feelings of someone else.

They’re supposed to smile and lie through their teeth, because most people can’t handle the truth, or so we’re led to believe.

The golden rule is, after all, that if you can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything at all.

Roommate 2 is your

classic introvert. They keep to themselves, probably don’t have a lot of friends, but this party sounds like an interesting affair, especially given the fact that it’ll be happening in their very own home.

But Roommate 2 can’t just straight up ask Roommate 1 if they can come. That’d make too much sense.

Instead, Roommate 2 does everything but ask.

They beat around the bush, so to speak, trying

“

We do everything but the right thing, which is to confront the problem head-on.

”

to coerce an invite out of Roommate 1, who doesn’t want to be mean but certainly wants to avoid having to extend a formal invitation.

Roommate 1 knows full well they can’t keep Roommate 2 out of a party in their own home, but they also don’t want to roll out the welcome mat either.

So both of these roommates are forced into an awkward, uncomfortable game of chicken to see who can be beaten into submission first.

Have a headache yet? I know I do.

Now, this situation is a hypothetical one, but one that is not dissimilar to situations you might find yourself in every day, where one or more people can’t seem to be honest with each other and the result is disastrous.

We just simply can’t seem to communicate with each other anymore.

Rather than confronting a person face to face, we send scathing e-mails and text messages, where we can hide behind the safety of a computer screen or a cell phone.

Instead of telling someone how we feel, we take to Facebook and Twitter, where we vent indirectly about the things that frustrate, depress, and aggravate us.

We do everything but the right thing, which is to confront the problem head-on. Instead, we stew, we grumble, we mope. We are fast becoming a generation of cowards and complainers, to put it simply.

We’ve become a society that avoids confrontation and, in turn, honesty.

Think about it. When was the last time you told someone how you really felt? When was the last time you told someone the honest truth, consequences be damned?

More often than not, we bury the truth. And I’m just not talking about the ugly truth. We also

hide feelings of love, for fear of rejection. We keep our guilty pleasures a secret, for fear of what others might think. We are taught to think before we speak, but should we?

Some will say that avoiding confrontation means avoiding conflict.

In reality, it fuels conflict, because we don’t deal with our problems. We simply sweep them under the rug and go back to sitting in our Barcaloungers.

We shy away from real human interaction and retreat to our devices, where we don’t have to deal with all the messiness of other people’s feelings and emotions.

I know the truth hurts sometimes. I know that, when speaking your mind, there is a difference between being honest and being hurtful, and we’re not always sure where that line is.

It’s a fine line, for sure, but avoiding it completely only worsens the situation in the long term.

We can’t keep ducking and dodging each other forever, in hopes of making it to the finish line without a single person thinking ill of us.

Maybe it’s time we stopped trying to outsmart the truth and just let it have its day.

What do you say?

Blake Ruane is a senior in English from Cedar Falls.

Common courtesy is a thing many of us, as Americans, were raised to reciprocate unto others. We’re taught to take a brief moment and consider somebody else whom most of the time we’ve never met before.

Yet I cannot help but see, in my life as well as those around me, a seeming lack of consideration for others and a lack of respect for each other as human beings. So what is this thing called courtesy, and why should we care about it?

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, courtesy is described as “behavior marked by polished manners or respect for others.” Another good word to use on the issue is “etiquette.”

Lots of people these days hear “etiquette” and get notions of things prim and proper, such as holding your elbows up off the table while eating.

While this is a part of it, etiquette has a much broader meaning.

It is defined in sociological study as the customs of behavior that are accepted and expected within a certain culture, and while common courtesy is certainly a component of etiquette, etiquette is more than common courtesy alone. Both of these things take their own forms in cultures throughout the world.

For example, in Afghanistan (and, from my understanding, many other Muslim countries that I have not been to) it is almost an insult if you don’t place your right hand over your heart after shaking someone’s hand.

If you invite a guest over to your home or place of work and do not have tea with snacks available for them shortly after they arrive, you are considered a poor host.

In many Afghan tribes, when an individual comes to your house and asks for help or shelter (regardless of tribe, nationality or personal history), you are expected to open your home and protect them with your life and the lives of your family members.

These are examples of etiquette in another culture that is starkly different from our own, for the purpose of showing that it is upheld and maintained across the world on various scales.

This is not to say that other cultures practice these rules without fail or that everybody in each respective culture exercises these norms and courtesies equally.

Americans have had a solid history of etiquette and courtesy and while some facets of etiquette are still going strong, I’m going to return to the issue of uncommon courtesy.

One of few things that I see consistently that shows me it still exists in < See COURTESY, page 5

opinion

NORTHERN-IOWAN.ORG | TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2013

COURTESY

continued from page 4

America (particularly the youth) is the holding of doors for a stranger. It is fairly hard to miss and easy to appreciate, especially with a bag full of books or groceries.

But if you do take the time to acknowledge somebody’s kindness, how do you go about it? When was the last time you gave a good Samaritan an extra syllable of gratitude by saying “thank you” instead of a generic, stagnant statement like “thanks”?

You might be wondering where this is all coming from, and why you should care. Every time somebody decides to send a three letter “lol” text or play Words With Friends while you try to have a conversation with them, every time that you or your friends experience somebody selfish enough to

take up two parking spaces with one tiny sedan (even after they park it and look you in the eye as they walk away) or every time that you’ve received bad news via text message when it could have been done via phone call or face-to-face interaction, common courtesy has been ignored and selfishness has prevailed.

In a culture that has developed into looking out for No. 1, many of us don’t want to ever so slightly inconvenience or humble ourselves for the sake of somebody we hardly know. And then we turn around and wonder what’s wrong with society these days.

This column stands as a challenge to every individual who reads it, no matter who or where or how old you are: try to adopt one or two practices in common courtesy and/or etiquette and stick true to them. Opening doors is great and I urge you to

keep doing it, but go beyond that.

road when you don’t necessarily have to. Remove your shoes just inside the door of somebody else’s home.

If these are things you already do, I am glad. But go further still. Look to history if you can find no other inspiration. A few of my military friends and myself researched and resolved to adopt old hat etiquette, of which I’m particularly a fan.

Things like men removing their hats while inside a woman’s place of residence (my personal favorite) are done not out of chauvinism, but out of humility and respect toward her and the dwelling she keeps. Or any gender removing their hat while in offices or classrooms out of respect for the professional responsible for that space, and not wearing anything around your head while eating at a dinner table.

And for the record, I don’t mean to criticize any religious belief that involves wear-

ing of headgear. Religious practices should be respected regardless of whether one agrees with them.

It’s the simple things like these that build character and discipline on an everyday scale. You might think that it’s all nonsense and it won’t mean anything, but give it a shot.

When people see you doing something out of the ordinary, they’ll ask you why.

And when you explain it to them, they should gain an appreciation and respect for the common courtesy you extend to others and hopefully they will be inspired to do the same.

By subtle little means like this, we might just help improve a self-centered society and courtesy might once again become common.

Art for El Salvador, a project created by sisters Maria and Niah Howard, raises money to build a school in povertystricken El Salvador in their younger sister Sarah Howard’s name. The event will take place on Feb. 10 from 6-10 p.m. in the Maucker Union ballroom.

KIRSTEN TJOSSEM Staff Writer

The story behind Art for El Salvador, the University of Northern Iowa organization responsible for the upcoming event Art from the Heart, is both moving and heartfelt.

Art from the Heart, which will be held from 6-10 p.m. on Feb. 10 in the Maucker Union Ballroom, is an art/variety show featuring the work and performances of a number of UNI students. Held in honor of her sister and love for the country of El Salvador, UNI student Maria Howard’s goal for the art/variety show is to give back to both.

Howard traveled to El Salvador for the first time in June of 2009 with her sister Niah Howard. After her return home, Maria Howard became committed to telling the stories of the people she had met there.

“We were exposed to the devastating poverty that is present throughout El Salvador. Our eyes were opened to a reality that we had previously not understood,” said Maria Howard.

“We fell in love with the country and the people we met there. They had a spirit of genuineness, compassion and resilience that was simply unforgettable.”

In the summer of 2010, the Howard sisters began Art for El Salvador, along with their younger sister Sarah Howard. They began selling various artwork at their local farmer’s market, including decorated boxes made by Sarah Howard, who was 12 at the time and purchased all of the supplies with her own money.

The course of the project drastically changed on Aug. 16, 2010, when all three sisters were involved in a car accident that Sarah Howard did not survive. After taking a break from the farmer’s market in the summer of 2011, the two surviving Howard sisters came back in the winter of 2011 with a new and improved project idea. Their goal was to raise enough money to build a school in El Salvador, named La Escuela de Sarah Lana, in honor of their sister.

“She was a huge part of Art for El Salvador, as she was right by my side each and every week at the farmer’s market. Sarah was compassionate, loving and devoted to helping other people,” said Maria Howard.

After the success with the organization in their hometown of Dallas Center, Iowa, the Howard sisters brought Art for El Salvador with them

to Cedar Falls when they became students at UNI. Thanks to help from Denise Tallakson, instructor with the Department of Curriculum and Instruction in the College of Education, Art for El Salvador became a recognized student organization.

“I got to know Maria Howard last semester when she was a student in my course, Methods of Teaching Visual and Performing Arts Integration in the Elementary Classroom. When she introduced herself the first day, she mentioned that she had a charity called Art for El Salvador,” said Tallakson. “I asked her to tell us more about it and saw such a great connection between her mission and our class. We all decided to help. It added such a meaningful service opportunity to my course.”

Since then, the organization has been slowly expanding.

“I’ve watched it grow and change into something so much bigger than it was when it started, while still maintaining the core message of connecting people and serving others through art,” said Niah Howard.

Disco Skate gets Black History Month rolling KIRSTEN TJOSSEM Staff Writer

Imaginary tube socks were pulled high and neon shorts pulled tight Friday at the Wellness Recreation Center Gyms Courts for a night of culture and fun. The event, put on by the University of Northern Iowa’s Black Student Union, was the first of many to take place this month in celebration of Black History Month.

“The skating rink was a place that many AfricanAmericans went to during the disco era,” said junior textiles and apparel major and organizer of the event Zach Owens. “We also played a big role in the disco era, from the music we made to the dance moves that went along with them.”

Owens first became involved with BSU as a freshman as a way to feel connected to others going through the same thing as him, as well as to those striving for success.

In its second year, the disco

skate drew a larger crowd than last year. Already a big hit in its first year, BSU decided to host the event again but with more skates and a bigger floor. They also provided slideshows and posters for an added history aspect.

“I joined BSU last year, but with school and work I didn’t have time,” said junior actuarial science major Virginia McCall. “I can support (it), though.”

For two UNI students, sophomore military science major Lucas Tener and sophomore biochemistry major Caleb Kruse, the event first caught their eye last year, and they were more than pleased with their decision to attend the event this year.

“We wanted to check it out. It was a cool event. We wanted to go last year and never did,” said Tener.

“We need more unique events like this,” said Kruse.

“I like it. It’s different.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

DOWN GOES WICHITA Panthers upset No. 15-ranked Shockers 57-52 ALEX MILLER

Sports Writer

ERIN KEISER/Northern Iowan

Jake Koch (20) takes aim for a shot in UNI’s Saturday, Feb. 2 game against Wichita State. The Panthers (12-11, 5-6 MVC) defeated the Shockers in an upset, 57-52.

The University of Northern Iowa men’s basketball team defeated the No. 15-ranked Wichita State University Shockers Saturday 57-52. After falling behind 6-0 early, the Panthers hit their stride and never looked back.

“There’s no easy game in the (Missouri) Valley,” UNI sophomore forward Seth Tuttle said following the nail-biting victory.

While trailing 6-0, the Panthers looked a bit nervous and tentative with their shots throwing up any open look to no avail.

However, a quick lay-up by Tuttle seemed to help the Panthers’ game-day jitters disappear. UNI turned Tuttle’s lay-up into a 12-0 run to grab a 12-6 lead early on.

With momentum flowing in UNI’s favor, the Shockers got a 3-pointer that silenced the raucous home crowd of 6,023 at the McLeod Center. However, UNI redshirt freshman Matt Bohannon answered back with a 3-pointer of his own, sending the crowd into a frenzy once again. Despite forcing WSU into eight first half turnovers, the Shockers closed the gap and tied the game a 23-23 going into halftime.

“They got the best of us when we played down at their place,” Tuttle said of UNI’s 25-point loss to the Shockers back on Dec. 30.

UNI was determined to get revenge Saturday, and their strong second-half play showed that.

The Shockers opened the second half on a 7-0 run to take their largest lead of the ballgame at 30-23. However, similar to the first half, UNI answered with another big run of

their own to swing momentum back in their favor.

The Panthers narrowed the gap to 36-34 at the second media timeout, with 11:14 remaining in regulation. UNI responded with a 12-0 run over the next four minutes to take a 46-36 lead with just under seven minutes remaining in the game.

“

I think (the win) can boost our confidence a lot. We’ve been staying strong together through all these ups and downs.

Chip Rank

UNI junior forward

”

The run started with back-to-back 3-pointers from senior guard Marc Sonnen and junior forward Chip Rank. After that, it was all Anthony James. The senior scored six points on UNI’s next three possessions to put the Panthers up by 10.

However, WSU continued to chip away at the UNI lead and found themselves within two at 54-52 with under a minute to play.

After an empty possession by the Panthers, the Shockers had the ball with 35 seconds remaining and had a chance to tie or win the game.

WSU’s Nick Wiggins attempted the gametying layup with 18 seconds remaining, but Tuttle stepped up big, as he had all game long, < See BASKETBALL, page 9

OPINION

The basketball season is far from over JAKE BEMIS

Sports Columnist

It’s strange how much one game can make such a big difference in sports. Just a few days ago, after the University of Northern Iowa men’s basketball team had lost back-to-back games to Indiana State University and the University of Evansville in heartbreaking fashion, I was thinking that this may be a lost season.

At that point, the Panthers were sitting in sixth place in the Missouri Valley Conference.

While UNI’s 57-52 upset of No. 15-ranked Wichita State University is just one victory and the Panthers still sit in a fifth-place tie, it feels like an entirely new season.

For the second straight year, UNI students got to storm the court as the Panthers upset another top-15 team. UNI beat the Shockers and were the better team from start to finish. It just seems like the Panthers are back in business. That’s what one game does to a team, especially an emotional victory like that one.

One win can turn the mentality of a fan base around in a heartbeat. Instead of having that awful pain in your stomach thinking about how UNI lost two straight games due to a couple of tough calls, you can start getting excited once again that maybe this could be

the season the Panthers go back to the NCAA Tournament.

The Panthers have seven games left in MVC play, eight games total (one of them being a BracketBuster game). UNI is currently two games behind Indiana State for third place and three games behind second-place WSU. While it’s still possible to reach second place in the conference, UNI should be focusing on moving themselves into third place by season’s end. It would create much-needed momentum heading into the conference tournament in St. Louis next month, and we all know that postseason sports are based around who gets hot at the right time.

If UNI were to get on a winning streak, their last stretch of the schedule is the time to do it. Aside from a home game against first-place Creighton University, whom the Panthers beat last season in the McLeod Center, UNI doesn’t play a single team with a winning record in MVC play.

It’s time to get excited once again, Panther fans. The Panthers may be just one game above .500 overall and one game below .500 in the MVC, but it’s wins like the one on Saturday that give me hope for the rest of the season.

There’s a reason the Panthers have 31 games on their schedule. The season is not over yet.

UNI students rushed the court following the Panthers’ 57-52 upset of No. 15-ranked Wichita State Saturday afternoon. UNI is currently 5-6 in MVC play and tied for fifth place.

and recorded one of his career-high four blocks before securing the defensive rebound.

Tuttle went to the freethrow line, where he converted one of his two attempts to put the Panthers back up by three.

The Shockers still had a chance to force overtime, but point guard Malcolm Armstead dribbled the ball out of bounds with just six seconds remaining in the game.

Sonnen inbounded the ball to Tuttle, who sealed the victory with a breakaway dunk.

“That was a good feeling right there,” Tuttle said of

his game-clinching dunk.

When the clock struck zero, the UNI student section rushed the court to celebrate the upset victory.

“I think (the win) can boost our confidence a lot,” said Rank. “We’ve been staying strong together through all these ups and downs.”

UNI currently stands at 12-11 overall and 5-6 in Missouri Valley Conference play. The Panthers are tied for fifth place in the MVC with four other teams. UNI is one game behind a fourthplace tie and two games behind a third-place tie with seven conference games remaining.

The Panthers return to action Tuesday night when they host the Missouri State University Bears at 7 p.m.

The University of Northern Iowa women’s basketball team defeated the University of Evansville Purple Aces 75-65 Saturday night in Cedar Falls. The Panthers (10-11, 5-4 MVC) shot a scorching 54 percent from the field to go along with 47 percent from behind the 3-point line.

UNI freshman Hannah Schonhardt scored her first points just a minute into the start of the game, helping the Panthers jump out to a quick 10-0 lead. Schonhardt caught fire and scored 11 points in the first four minutes of the game.

The Purple Aces responded with an 8-0 run of their own to bring the score to 13-12 in favor of the Panthers. Evansville’s first lead of the ballgame came with just over six minutes to go in the first half on a layup from senior Taylor Ware to make it 26-24 in favor of the Purple Aces.

The Panthers took some momentum into the locker room at halftime as they put together a 7-0 run that was sparked by senior Jacqui Kalin. The run took just 45 seconds before it was ended by Ware’s 3-pointer to tighten the score at 34-32 at halftime.

The Panthers once again came out on fire as they went on a 13-2 run over four minutes to give them a 10-point lead at 47-37. In the second half, the Panthers orchestrated another run that gave them the lead, 65-52.

The Purple Aces cut the Panther lead back to five at 65-60 with just over two minutes remaining in regulation. However, UNI answered with a 6-0 run in the clutch to seal the 75-65 victory.

WHITNEY WILLIAMS/Northern Iowan Archives

UNI senior Jacqui Kalin (10) scored 28 points and dished out 10 assists during the Panthers’ 75-65 victory over Evansville on Saturday.

“We knew that they were going to make a run. Basketball is a game of runs,” said UNI head coach Tanya Warren. “What I really liked about our team was that every time (Evansville) made a run, I thought we answered.”

Kalin was key in the Panthers’ final run of the game, as she made six straight free throws down the stretch to secure a UNI victory.

Kalin finished with a game-high 28 points along with a season-high 10 assists.

Schonhardt scored a career-high 23 points while shooting 70 percent from the field.

“We talk about balance all the time. If we don’t have balance, that is when we run into trouble,” said Schonhardt.

UNI returns to action Friday when they travel to face Wichita State University.
