CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – The UNI women's basketball team is not known to back away from a challenge, and for the 2019-20 schedule, the Panthers again set up a gauntlet to prepare for the Missouri Valley Conference schedule.
The Panthers face five Power-5 conference opponents, including Iowa at the McLeod Center on Nov. 17, Missouri (Nov. 13) and Iowa State (Dec. 22) on the road and Alabama (Nov. 29) and Ohio State (Nov. 30) at the South Point Shootout in Las Vegas.
"There is no doubt our non-conference schedule will once again prepare us for MVC play," head coach Tanya Warren said. "With five Power-5 schools on the schedule, plus several other quality programs, we will certainly be battle-tested. We are excited to open at home against North Dakota State to get the season going in the McLeod Center."
UNI hosts Upper Iowa in an exhibition game on Oct. 27, before opening the regular season at home against North Dakota State (Nov. 6). The Panthers also host Northwest Missouri State (Nov. 24) and IUPUI (Dec. 15) before opening Missouri Valley Conference play.
The Panthers will travel to Wichita State (Nov. 9), Creighton (Dec. 8) and Omaha (Dec. 10).
UNI is coming off of the sixth 20-win season in program history and its ninth postseason appearance in 10 seasons. Leading the Panthers are All-Conference honorees Karli Rucker and Megan Maahs who returns from a season-ending injury. Joining UNI is a trio of freshmen and Fresno State graduate transfer Kristina Cavey.
Season tickets are on sale now. Season tickets start at $59 for reserved seats and $69 for courtside seats. Fans can purchase tickets at UNIPanthers.com/tickets or by calling the ticket office at 319-273-4849.
