Freshman Kiki MCClellan scored off a Melissa Hagan pass in the 56th minute to seal the Panther victory/
Goalkeeper Lauren Potzman registered four saves in the contest for the Panthers.
“We started off playing a little slowly in the first half,” UNI head coach James Price said. “In the second half we played much quicker soccer and made better decisions in the final third of the field. It is always nice to be able to keep shutout against a good opponent.”
The Panthers return to action Friday, August 28 when they travel to North Dakota. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m.
