The Panthers:
- UNI will travel to Illinois State and Bradley to open a four-match road swing. This stretch represents the first time in program history that the Panthers will play four consecutive contests on the road against Missouri Valley Conference competition.
Â
- The Panthers have a 55-29 all-time record against the Redbirds and a 69-11 mark versus the Braves. Earlier this season, UNI swept Bradley, 3-0, before losing a five-setter to Illinois State.
Â
- UNI rallied from a 2-1 deficit for a five-set win Saturday over Indiana State. The Panthers have gone the distance in three of their previous four contests and four of their last seven matches overall after having no five-setters in the first 14 tilts of the season.
Â
- Kaylissa Arndorfer highlighted the decisive frame of Saturday's win with three kills and three blocks including one solo stuff. Arndorfer had seven kills for the match on just 11 attempts for a .545 attack percentage.
Â
- Carly Spies is now the MVC's most efficient attacker in league play. Spies is hitting .378 versus conference foes featuring a .458 clip last week with 26 kills and just four errors on 48 swings.
Â
- Emily Holterhaus tallied her 500th career dig against Indiana State to join UNI's 500-500 Club. Holterhaus now has exactly 500 total digs along with 691 total kills across three seasons with the Panthers.
Â
- Kira Fallert owns a career-high and team-season-high five-contest active ace streak dating back to October 4 at Loyola. Tayler Alden has her own active streak of four matches with eight service winners during this stretch.
Â
- Inga Rotto (112), Kaylissa Arndorfer (78), and Emily Holterhaus (78) are on consecutive contest playing streaks to begin their college careers. Rotto is also on a 37-match blocking streak dating back to last February.
- UNI returns 13 women that were with the program for the spring season including 2020-21 All-MVC honorees Emily Holterhaus (First Team), Inga Rotto (Second Team), and Tayler Alden (Freshman Team).
- Despite the challenges of the delayed 2020 campaign, the Panthers still qualified for the MVC Championship and made it to the league semifinals. UNI has earned tournament bids and semifinal berths for a league-record 36 seasons in a row.
