CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - Due to health and safety concerns the UNI women's basketball program will be postponing its first two Missouri Valley Conference contests.Â
The University of Northern Iowa has determined it is unable to compete in Thursday (Dec. 30) and Saturday (Jan. 1) home women's basketball games against Evansville and Indiana State, respectively. The games have been postponed, and the Missouri Valley Conference office will attempt to reschedule the games, if possible. Â
The MVC's forfeiture/cancelation policy states that "an institution will be required to play a Conference basketball game if it has eight or more student-athletes and one or more countable coaches available. In the event an institution does not meet the minimum threshold of player/coach availability and the game cannot be rescheduled, it will be declared a "no contest." In the event an institution meets the minimum threshold of player/coach availability and elects not to play, the game will be considered a forfeit. Notably, an institution may play if it fails to meet those minimum roster standards."
Ultimate responsibility and public-facing communication regarding decisions to compete, cancel, postpone or delay MVC contests shall rest with the Conference office in collaboration with athletics administrators from the two competing institutions.
The Panthers will return to action on January 7th against Valparaiso in Indiana. Tipoff for the game against the Beacons is set for 6 p.m. UNI will return to the McLeod Center on Jan.13 to take on Missouri State in the Valley Select game of the week.Â
Fans with tickets to either the Evansville or Indiana State games will have their tickets honored for the rescheduled date.Â
