CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - All it took to snap a three-game losing skid was a five-set thriller in the McLeod Center, the third-highest dig total in school history and a first-time matchup between two 400-plus win coaches in the Missouri Valley Conference.
The University of Northern Iowa volleyball squad posted a 3-2 win over the Missouri State Bears on Saturday. UNI won by set scores of 24-26, 25-19, 25-15, 20-25, 15-7. The Panthers improved to 10-10 overall and 4-3 in the MVC, while the Bears dipped to 13-6 overall and 4-2 in the league.
The Panthers posted 111 total digs in the contest - tying for the third-highest total in school history. Freshman libero Kendyl Sorge notched a career-high 33 digs, while junior Amie Held secured a career-high tying 30 digs.
The matchup brought a pair of 400-plus match winners in Bobbi Petersen and Melissa Stokes - the first such meeting in the history of the Missouri Valley Conference. It eventually marked the fifth five-set match between the two schools in Cedar Falls. UNI is now 5-0 in five-setters with Missouri State in Cedar Falls - with the other four victories coming in 1986, 2003, 2005 and 2013.
UNI has now won 27 straight home matches against Missouri State.
Freshman Bri Weber collected her 14th double-double of the season with 17 kills and 13 digs. Weber also added in a career-high three service aces. Held recorded her fourth straight double-double with a career-high 15 kills and 30 digs. Heather Hook notched her seventh double-double with 53 assists and 12 digs. Kayla Haneline added 17 kills and Piper Thomas contributed with 12 kills.
UNI will be back in action next Saturday at 7 p.m. against the Drake Bulldogs in the McLeod Center.
