On the Panther side, Ellie Howell scored a team-high 15 points. The effort helped her surpass the 1,000-career point mark. She now sits at 1,005. Abby Gerrits and Bre Gunnels scored 12 each.

The Panthers were 21-66 (31.8 percent) from the field and 15-48 (31.3 percent) from the three-point line. UNI saw just five free throw attempts in the game, including none in the first and fourth quarters. UNI was 4-5 (80 percent) from the line.
