Five of UNI's top-10 scoring defense averages in school history have come during the Warren era, while the Panthers ranked second in the Valley last season after holding opponents to 58.3 points per game.

ALL WE DO IS WIN

The 2016-17 season marked the eighth-straight season the Panthers have won at least 17 or more games.

Tanya Warren now owns eight seasons with at least 17-plus wins or more in a season, which is more than all other coaches at UNI combined.
