The Northern Iowa women open the final week of the regular season at Indiana State on Thursday night. The Panthers are 12-6 and tied for fourth in the Missouri Valley race with Indiana. They will close the regular season Saturday at Evansville.

That’s UNI coach Tanya Warren. The Sycamores are 6-12 in the Valley.

The Panthers opened the season 1-9 due to a rash of injuries but with two wins this week would finish the regular season with a 15-14 overall mark.
