Ballroom/Swing Club hosts Welcome Ball SOFIA LEGASPI
Campus Life Editor
Students and community members danced the night away on Saturday, Aug. 18 at the UNI Ballroom/Swing Club’s fifth annual Welcome Ball. About 50 people gathered in the Maucker Union Ballroom for lessons in the East Coast swing and waltz styles from 7 to 8:30 P.M., followed by a social dance. Sophomore sociolo gy major Dominic Steele was one of the three UNI Ballroom/Swing presidents who planned the event. Steele’s first exposure to ballroom dancing was during a swing dancing unit in his high school gym class. “It’s clicked with me. It’s been a lot of fun,” Steele said. Alexa Lloyd, a junior studying leisure, youth & human services and theatre, had just moved into her
dorm room before attending the ball. “I was looking for a way to destress and get out of my dorm room,” Lloyd said. “I love to waltz; it’s just such a classic dance. It really just takes you somewhere else.” Lloyd first attended the Welcome Ball two years ago as a freshman. Although she had never had any previous ballroom dance experience, Lloyd said she loved it and would continue attending ballroom events when she could. UNI Ballroom/Swing holds social lessons, open to both students and members of the community, every Tuesday and Thursday from 7 to 8 P.M. The club is currently still searching for a regular venue, but students may visit the UNI Ballroom/ Swing Facebook page for lesson location updates. See BALLROOM, page 8

Gov. Reynolds signs tax cuts bill JOSHUA DAUSENER Copy Editor
Several weeks after the conclusion of the spring 2018 semester, Iowa Republican governor Kim Reynolds signed a bill that slashes Iowans’ state tax revenue. The governor penned the legislation into law at a signing ceremony in MobileDemand, a manufacturer of rugged electronic devices based in Hiawatha, IA. A beaming Reynolds announced to the crowd at the signing, “I signed this bill for every Iowan who works hard to earn a paycheck and deserves to
keep more of it.” The bill, Senate File 2417, will reduce the state’s income by $2.1 billion over the next six fiscal years. The reduction in an individual’s taxes varies on income. According to the Iowa Department of Revenue; a single Iowan making $24,000 a year can expect to save $59 annually, a 7.9 percent cut. A single person making $87,000 will save about $271 a year, or 6.1 percent. The income tax cuts are coupled with new sales taxes on video streaming services, digital video rentals, rideshare services and taxis in what lawmakers
NORTHERNIOWAN.COM
describe as an effort to modernize the Iowa tax code. Republicans lauded the bill as a boost to Iowa families and businesses while Democrats argued that reducing the state’s income will force cuts to numerous state services. Cedar Falls Republican Walt Rogers of Iowa House District 60 said in his newsletter of an earlier draft of the bill, “The Middle Class Tax Relief Act will reform Iowa’s tax code to make it fairer, sustainable, and built for the 21st century. The Middle Class Tax Relief Act will reduce the state tax burden on Iowans
VOLUME 115, ISSUE 1
by $1.3 billion over 5 years while protecting budget sustainability in future years.” Cedar Falls Democrat Bob Kressig of Iowa House District 59 attacked the legislation in his own newsletter, writing, “On the last day of session, Republican lawmakers pushed through a $2.7 billion tax proposal that disproportionately benefits the wealthy and special interests… The budget mess already means Iowans are being shortchanged with fewer services for victims of domestic violence, fewer nursing home inspections, and little for public schools.” Cedar Falls Democratic senator Jeff Danielson commented during a forum at the beginning of the year, “It will mean deficits as far as the eye can see.” The reductions in state revenue come as UNI and other state universities and colleges face continuing financial uncertainty. UNI’s appropriations from Des Moines have been cut numerous times in recent years; the cuts have largely been paid for by reducing UNI’s services and increasing student’s tuition. Some sudents were concerned that the bill wouldn impact higher education funding. Former Northern Iowa Student
Government (NISG) Vice President and former member of the NISG Legislative Liaison Team Tristan Bernhard said to the NI, “I think the shortfall in revenue that the tax cut projects to create for the state could be extremely concerning for both the quality and affordability of education in Iowa. I will be interested to see what action is taken by the legislature to ensure that this cut doesn’t come at the expense of the state’s students or working families.” Senior Public Administration and Political Science major Casey Harm told the NI, “The simple idea... was that this would cultivate new economic development… In reality, Iowa’s unemployment is at 2.6 percent which means we are already at full employment and simply don’t have the workforce for a new ambitious wave of economic development. Our state will not make up this massive loss in revenue, and our institutions will not be able to operate as intended without it. It is likely that the state would have to cut funding to higher education in the near future which could potentially result in tuition hikes and a larger amount of debt being accumulated by students.”

Heartbeat bill faces lawsuits ALLISON MAZZARELLA Staff Writer
Back in May, Governor Kim Reynolds signed the ‘fetal heartbeat’ bill, which contains strict restrictions on women seeking abortions if a fetal heartbeat has been detected after an ultrasound. The bill was scheduled to go into effect on July 1, but has been temporarily blocked due to lawsuits filed by Planned Parenthood of the Heartland and American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa, who have deemed the bill as unconstitutional. According to the Des Moines Register, it has been called “the most restrictive abortion ban in the nation,” since a heartbeat can typically be detected as early as six weeks, before many women know they are pregnant. The bill offers some exceptions in
cases of rape, incest, or fetal abnormalities. Strong reactions have been elicited by supporters and those who are against the bill. Shaylyn Trenkamp, vice president of the Northern Iowa Feminists shared her reaction. “I was disappointed,” said Trenkamp. “Having a woman governor, you would think she’s going to stand up for women’s rights and for the power of choice for women, but this bill takes away women’s choice, the power of their own bodies, and the power of their own choices. Governor Reynolds tweeted on May 4, “If death is determined when a heart stops beating, then doesn’t a beating heart indicate life? For me, it is immoral to stop an innocent beating heart. For me, it is sickening to sell fetal body parts. For me, my faith leads me to protect every Iowan.” Amanda Bruns, a sophomore
studying social sciences education, echoes Reynolds’ words. “That’s a person, and I think someone needs to speak on their behalf,” Bruns said. My mom chose life, and I want to be able to speak for them, because they can’t speak for themselves.” Governor Reynolds’ words concerned Trenkamp, who said Reynolds depends on her faith, which may not represent the people’s view whom she governs. “She represents a lot of people with different faiths and different backgrounds,” Trenkamp said. “While I would want to respect that, it’s hard for me to hear that that’s her basic motive or reasoning when she’s representing so many people with different views and different faiths.” Trenkamp said she believes the root issue is not determining when life begins, but rather, taking away the voices of women and telling them what they are and are not allowed to do with their own bodies. “You can claim the heartbeat is a life, but the primary life I am concerned about is the

woman who might be carrying that child,” Trenkamp said. “This is her life that is going to be affected either way, and if we start giving voice to a being inside of her over her voice, it starts to insinuate that women in society making life decisions aren’t valued as much as people who might be coming into this world.” Trenkamp believes the ramifications of this law will lead to unsafe abortions. While Trenkamp recognizes Reynolds’ faith and moral
decisions, she believes women should be able to make the decision for themselves if an abortion is their best option. Bruns said that if the question is about voice, that the unborn has a voice that should be advocated for. “The baby has rights, it’s great if we say women have rights, but what about the baby?” Bruns said. The law was placed on hold by a judge and will be on hold until lawsuits have been processed.

Board of Regents approve tuition hike JOSHUA DAUSENER Copy Editor
The cost of attending UNI has once again increased. The Iowa Board of Regents recently approved increasing UNI in-state undergraduate tuition to $7,665 from the 2017 academic year rate of $7,456; a $209, 2.8 percent increase. The tuition hike continues a trend of increasing rates in recent years in which an in-state undergraduate yearly tuition bill has increased over $1,000 since 2015, when yearly undergraduate tuition ran at $6,648 according to UNI’s website. The tuition numbers do not include mandatory university fees. The 2.8 percent increase was actually lower than the projected rate increases listed by a Tuition Task Force and UNI President Mark Nook in 2017, which projected a best-case-scenario increase of 3.9 percent. The lower than expected hike may be due to UNI avoiding a proposed $3.7 million midyear cut during the spring 2018 semester. Northern Iowa Student Government President Drew Stensland, Vice President Kristen Ahart, and Communications Director David Konsfrst said in a
statement, “Reducing any hike in tuition has been a leading priority for this NISG administration since entering off ice… At the last Board of Regents meeting, UNI received a 2.8% tuition increase, a full percent lower than both Iowa and Iowa State at 3.8%. This is the first year UNI had a differentiated raise. While any kind of tuition increase creates more of a financial burden on students pursuing academic success, this provided an advantage to UNI to keep our rate more affordable compared to the other peer institutions.” The statement continued, “This administration favors gradual increases so students can better prepare for future costs rather than drastic increases, and we will continue to use every resource available to make college more affordable to students. To accomplish this, Director of Governmental Relations Matt Johnson and the Legislative Liaison Team will continue to make regular trips to the capital NORTHERN IOWAN in the upcoming legislative The Iowa Board of Regents approved a 2.8% hike in tuition, increasing in-state tuition from $7,456 to $7,665. session....

Democratic heavyweight to visit UNI JOSHUA DAUSENER Copy Editor
Jason Kander, a prominent figure in Democratic national politics, is set to visit UNI this evening. Kander previously held office in the Missouri House of Representatives and as Missouri’s Secretary of State. Kander narrowly lost a bid for a seat in the United States Senate in 2016, and is currently running to be the mayor of Kansas City. He also chairs Let America Vote, an activist group focusing on voter issues, and is frequently mentioned as a possible 2020 presidential candidate. Kander, along with the
Northern Iowan Democrats and March for Our Lives Cedar Valley, will be taking a tour of campus and talking to students about voter engagement, according to Northern Iowa Democrats President Natalie Dean. According to Dean, Kander’s UNI visit is part of a larger touring of Iowa’s major universities. According the NI Democrats’ event page on Facebook, the Kander event begins at 4pm tonight in the Elm Room of the Maucker Union.

Predatory recruiting is harmful AUGUST 23, 2018 |
As the fall semester opens and students are returning to campus, the season of student organization recruitment begins. This can be a fun time where new students can explore their interests and meet new people. It’s the time of year where we can attend many meetings without being tied down. Students are looking for fun, laughter and new friends. This is especially true for freshman and transfer students. They are new to our campus and often far away from home. Many don’t know any other students. For these reasons, student organization recruitment is a special process for new students; they are looking for a home away from home. They need friends, and student organizations provide an outlet. Unfortunately, that also makes new students the most vulnerable to predatory recruitment tactics.
During this time of the year, I have been thinking a lot about predatory recruitment and how to have ethical recruitment. I want to make it clear that I do not have the answers to these questions, and I am not sure what the best recruitment tactics are. I want to open a dialogue on our campus and maybe reach a new standard for recruitment. First, what is predatory recruitment? In my mind, this looks like cornering and pressuring students to join an organization. Over the years, I have heard stories of predatory recruitment, and the following are true examples that have happened on our campus: • An organization knocking on doors in the dorms to promote their group (which is against policy). • An organization coordinating mass friend requests to students that have not shown interest in the group. • An organization systematically promoting the organization through direct messages. • An organization not being clear about financial expenses or gains.

|
• An organization sitting next to individuals at tables in the library or union and promoting their organization. • An organization advertising an event with free food and fun, but not advertising who is holding the event. • An organization not advertising their mission and values until members have committed. What all these examples have in common are one, cornering and two, lack of transparency. I believe this is what makes up the core of predatory recruitment. When students do not have a way to get out of the situation, that is cornering and it is predatory. Similarly, when students do not have all the information on the organization, that is manipulation and it is predatory. Predatory recruitment tactics are happening on our campus. Some organizations are using these tactics systematically, year after year. Which brings me to asking: how do we have ethical recruitment on our campus? Recruitment tactics can easily go from friendly to predatory, and where can we find that line? When does
VOLUME 115, ISSUE 1
a friendly approach become pressuring a student? When do tabling tactics go too far? I don’t really have the answers. Much of ethical recruitment is reading body language. Does the student avoid eye contact and walk quicker? Or is the student slowing down and responding to you? Recruitment is a lot of gray area, and body language is important to consider. After much thought while writing this piece, I have come to a personal conclusion that ethical recruitment is transparent, allows students to have an exit, and there is identification of the organization. This is what I plan to follow when I am tabling during the recruitment season.
For other student organizations, I urge you to reflect on your recruitment techniques. Do you have some sort of identifier with you, like a trifold board, tablecloth, tent, etc.? Are all your members clear on how to approach new students? Do you have a friendly approach? Is there a clear exit for students to avoid you? Are you reading the body language of students? We all want students to feel safe on our campus, and ethical recruitment is one way to make sure that everyone enjoys their time at UNI. The best kind of recruitment is when students join organizations understanding and loving every aspect of the group.

Future of solar power is bright Many people use a lot of electricity. I know that I’m usually surprised when I get my electricity bill at the end of every month. Unfortunately, our world is slipping into an energy crisis which is due in part to how much electricity humanity uses. For tunately, there appears to be a solution to this problem. Several nations have already had great success with solar power solving their energy problems. While solar farms are nothing new, there have been some recent changes that have made the future of solar energy a little bit brighter. First, there has been a significant drop in the price of the cost of solar panels and the systems that run them. According to a report by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory from last year, the cost has shrunk by a factor of five since 2010. That has made it much easier for many countries to invest in solar farms. The second is that the energy crisis is getting worse. As countries like China continue to grow, they need fast and cheap ways to generate

larger amounts of energy. Nonrenewable energy sources, such as coal, are proving to be ineffective at sustaining such large scale energy consumption. This is mainly because coal is an exhaustible resource and has some seriously negative effects on the environment. Unfortunately, a country like China is reliant on coal. That reason alone has made people skeptical of their “war on pollution.” In a matter of four years, it’s become clear that China was serious about their war on pollution as they’ve cut down on air pollution by an average of 32 percent,

solar farms. China has been leading
the world in the installation of solar farms, installing them across their country at a rapid rate. They have sprawling solar farms floating on lakes and are currently planning on building what will be a two-gigawatt farm in Ningxia, according to Time Magazine. The third change is the size of these solar farms. A massive solar farm is currently being built in Southern Egypt. It will be completed before the one in Ningxia and will reign as the largest, producing 1.8 gigawatts of energy. China will likely not be able to hold onto the title

either, as India just greenlit a plan for a five-gigawatt plant, according to NBC. It doesn’t stop there either. Many countries like Italy, South Korea, Russia, and Japan are looking to increase their solar production as well. Japan is even working on a way to launch a solar farm in space where there is constant sunlight. Nations are getting creative in solving their energy problems, and a lot of it is centered around solar energy. This is great news for the world. Most people don’t want to run out of energy or pollute our planet, and now it looks like we have a real solution to help solve both problems. It’s hard to not be excited looking at the facts. Problems from before such as cost and a lack of infrastructure to carry solar energy are evaporating. Europe has plans to make a supergrid, a transmission network that allows large amounts of energy to be transferred across the continent by the late 2020’s. This news should lift the spirits of even the most concerned environmentalist. All I can say is that I am relieved. It looks like countries and their leaders are recognizing how good green energy can be. I know the average college student may not be in a constant state of worry about the environment, but I hope most of us care about the world around us. Considering how negative news can be sometimes, this information is a shining diamond in the mud. I find it hard not to be excited.

Main Street, College Hill welcome students LEZIGA BARIKOR Staff Writer
The sidewalks on College Hill and Main Street were teeming with new students Friday, Aug. 17, as Welcome Week festivities were underway. Students were given wristbands as they entered the designated “Panther Block PAWty” areas to enjoy free games, samples and new sights. “It’s a very good way to get students oriented with the area,” said Libby Loney, a freshman pre-nursing major. On College Hill, many businesses had their doors propped open with welcome signs for new Panthers. Students could receive free pizza samples from Dominoes and $5 Pizza. On Main Street, store windows also featured many welcome back signs. Through various partnerships, games like “Plinko” were available for students to play and win prizes. “I like how the stores had decorations welcoming Panthers,” said elementary education major Nicole
Schaefers. One featured game on College Hill was “bags” (also called “cornhole”) which allowed multiple groups of teams to play at one time despite the heat. “We’re in Iowa, that’s why we’re playing bags,” said Drake Leek, a business marketing major. Urban Pie, near Main Street, held karaoke for students, and those who participated were able to receive prizes. Main Street also featured colorful giant jenga and free popcorn. “I think [Main Street is]
so cute and it feels really safe,” said freshman marketing major Taylor Palmer. The main feature of the block party was the participation of local businesses in a scavenger hunt. “It’s just great to have all the new students discover what’s on the Hill,” said Barb Schilf, store manager at Mohair Pear. “Even though it’s so close, sometimes people don’t discover it until their sophomore year.” This year, certain features of past block parties—such as the slip-and-slide—did not make a return appearance.

Glee Club to hold Welcome Back Concert ANNA FLANDERS Staff Writer
At 6 P.M. on Friday, Aug. 24, the UNI Varsity Men’s Glee Club will perform their fourth annual Welcome Home concert. The concert will be held in Lang Auditorium and last approximately one hour. “We like to think of the Welcome Home concert as a sort of pep rally for students here at UNI,” said Daniel Hanson, a senior history major who serves as chairman of the Glee Club Council. “We sing a lot of the classic songs like the “Alma Mater” and “The Fight Song,” “Victory March,” and all of that good stuff. But then we add in a little bit of comedy and stuff like that. We do interactions with the crowd. We play games. We just like to give people a really good time, get people excited to be back at UNI for the year. That’s our whole goal with it.” Sam King is a member of the Glee Club and a senior
majoring in digital media leadership. “As the name suggests, it’s welcome home,” said King. “We basically put on this little fun show to try to make everyone feel a little bit more at home at UNI.” Under the direction of Dr. John Wiles, the concert will feature not only returning Glee Club members, but also freshmen who just finished their first week at UNI. Many of these freshmen were recruited during UNI’s Traditions Week on August 16 to 18, when freshmen had the chance to meet returning Glee Club members and learn some of the new music ahead of the Glee Club’s regularly scheduled practice times. “In terms of what we do with the crowd or what the emcees say and do, we mix it up a little bit there, but for the most part it stays pretty similar,” Hanson said. “We like to keep it the same because then for the freshmen it’s easier for

them to come in and learn the eight songs. Because on top of classes and getting used to college, we’re like, ‘Learn eight songs in a week!’” While the concert is free, there is a suggested donation of $3. Profits go to the Northeast Iowa Food Bank. Although this organization helps fight hunger in 16 Iowa counties, the proceeds from the
concert will help those who are food insecure in Black Hawk County specifically. The Glee Club has partnered with the Northeast Iowa Food Bank for all four years of the Welcome Home concert. Students can get involved with the Glee Club at any time during the semester by contacting Hanson or Dr. Wiles. No audition is necessary.
For King, the Glee Club was UNI’s major selling point. “I’m not actually 100 percent [sure] I would be here at UNI if the Glee Club didn’t exist,” King said. “It’s been so amazing to be surrounded by such a good group of people for my four years of college. [. . .] I can’t honestly say that I’ve ever had a bad experience in the Glee Club.”

As the president of education of UNI Ballroom/Swing, Richard Leipold teaches different dance styles during events like the Welcome Ball as well as the club’s weekly lessons. Before transferring to UNI, where he is currently a senior majoring in movement and exercise science, Leipold was a ballroom dance major at Utah Valley University. Aside from weekly lessons and other social events scattered throughout the semester, UNI Ballroom/Swing offers the opportunity for competitive dancing. “Our goal with the competitive side is just to help people get comfortable going to a ballroom competition,” Leipold said. “There are ballroom competitions that happen around the area, and they’re really cool and fun and exciting, but they can also be a little intimidating because it’s like, ‘Wow, I’m competing.’ So what we do is we put together a team—whoever wants to join, may.” For Steele, the best part about dancing is the community. “It makes me feel really good to be a part of something that’s a team and that’s also really fun to do even when I’m not with the whole team—I can grab somebody and we can dance,” Steele said. “We’re just a group of people who love to dance,” Leipold said. “We’re not trying to be perfect or achieve perfection. We’re just people who are passionate about dance who just want to learn as much as we can.”

FANTASY FOOTBALL
Fantasy Football START & SIT WILLIAM RIEPE
Sports Writer
In the world of professional football, there are numerous players that graze the gridiron with their speed, agility, and skills. When it comes to playing fantasy football however, some may have trouble deciding which player will be most effective in leading their team to victory. Join sports writer William Riepe as he explains who you should start in your lineup, and who should be on the bench sitting. Starting at quarterback, sit Russell Wilson. Wilson took a beating last season due to a lackluster offensive line that failed to protect him game after game. The Seahawks failed to grab a starting lineman to give Wilson some
time with the ball. Start Drew Brees. This week, the Super Bowl XLIV champion and All-Pro play caller takes on an abysmal Tampa Bay secondary which will surely have trouble covering elite receiver Michel Thomas. At running back, sit Jerrick McKinnon. McKinnon struggled with his last few season with the Minnesota Vikings, and will continue to struggle with a lack luster offensive line. McKinnon’s speed is an upside, but his physical limitations and terrible protection are a massive downside. Start David Johnson. This feels like a no-brainer, but if asked, you probably would have trouble naming members of the Redskins pass rush that made a splash in 2017. They will continue to struggle against a top five
running back like Johnson. At wide receiver, sit Tyreek Hill. Hill is a top five receiver on the deep threat, but the Chargers secondary is a top five in itself with an unbeatable pass rush featuring Joey Bosa, who will make quick work of a struggling Kansas City offensive line and rookie quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Start Allen Robinson. As the Packers continue to struggle to find their lockdown corner, a healthy Allen Robinson joins a powerful Bears offense with a now 100 percent starting Mitch Trubisky. I think Robinson will make quick work of the Packers secondary. In the tight end slot, sit Evan Engram. Engram’s athleticism is unrivaled at the position, but a stronger-than-ever Jacksonville defense, including a line-
backing core featuring Myles Jack, will be all over Engram. Start Jack Doyle, who had a fantastic 2017. Andrew Luck leaving the field with an injury had little effect as Doyle quickly became a favored safety valve, and great second option. He will no doubt benefit from having Luck back at the helm. At the flex position, sit Amari Cooper. It’s a safe bet that every receiver or running back that finds themselves against the Rams will struggle. The offseason was fruitful for the Rams, and now they are arguably a top three defense. The Raiders offensive line is aging, and Derek Carr’s time in the pocket will quickly run out. Start Christian McCaffery, who will only benefit from Jonathan Stewart’s departure, and is now a three down
starter for the Panthers. Additionally, Cam Newton has been able to take advantage of McCaffery’s skills through the air, giving him a one-two punch that will surely result in huge fantasy points. And lastly, for defense, sit the Browns. Another no-brainer, but any team playing a healthy Steelers team will struggle. The BellRoethlisberger partnership has proven fruitful over the last few years, and will continue to dominate over the next few seasons. Start the Rams. Los Angeles threw everything but the kitchen sink at their defense this off-season, and it has proven to be the right decision. There are no weak spots in their defense, and they will surely be in the top three defense all season long.

Smith, Nurse headline Panthers summer highlights JOEL WAUTERS
Sports Editor
The 2018-2019 school year is officially underway, and while know it, so is the sports season. While a handful of teams have begun practices and some have already faced competition, the UNI athletic program looks back at the success over the previous summer and major headlines that put the Panthers on the map. The outdoor track and field season for the purple and gold extended into summer, following the end of spring classes. At the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) championship meet in Terre Haute, Indiana, both the men’s and women’s teams brought energy to the track. Senior Brette Correy snagged the Panthers highest individual finish of the meet, claiming second in the 800 meters. Two lady Panthers finished in the top eight in the discus finals as Sarah Pate and Hope Koerperich finished third and seventh, respectively. Junior Tiffany Christensen took home third and All-MVC honors in the 1,500 meters as the women’s team finished in fourth place
since 2009. On the diamonds, the UNI softball team struggled down the stretch of their 2018 season, losing ten of their final sixteen games. They played five doubleheaders against MVC opponents, where they struggled to score runs despite getting several runners on base.

Nurse also coached the Iowa Energy of the NBA G-League and led them to a championship in 2011. In other basketball news, the UNI men’s basketball team received a major invitation in July. The Panthers will take part as one of eight teams in the inaugural U.S. Bank Stadium Basketball Classic in Minneapolis. Home of the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings and site of Super Bowl LII this past winter, this will be the first basketball event held inside the venue. The purple and gold will take on the South Dakota State Jackrabbits on Saturday, December 1 in the Twin Cities as part of their non-conference schedule. Other teams competing in the event include NCAA Division III St. Thomas and Wisconsin-River Falls, along with the Minnesota Golden Gophers, Oklahoma State Cowboys, North Dakota State Bison, and UNI’s MVC rival, the Drake Bulldogs.
VOLLEYBALL
Volleyball prepares to build off preseason success EMMETT LYNCH Sports Writer
The record setting UNI volleyball team is gearing up for another successful season. After topping the Missouri Valley Conference’s 2018 preseason poll, the Panthers are ready to get back under the lights. This past Saturday, August 18th, the Panthers set up for the annual Purple & Gold Scrimmage in the McLeod
Center. The two teams were White and Purple, both having an equal amount of youth and experience. With a very sizable crowd in attendance for this preseason matchup, it is safe to say that the fans of the Cedar Valley area are excited to begin the season. After a three-set exhibition, the white team claimed victory in two of the three sets after holding off a persistent purple team with the scores of 25-20, 30-28,
15-11. Head Coach Bobbi Peterson expressed how this was one of the most competitive scrimmages they’ve had to date. This year’s team is evenly mixed with role-players, newcomers, and veterans. Veteran blockers Piper Thomas and Kendyl Sorge return this season. Both started in all 36 matchups and played in all 132 sets for the Panthers last season. Thomas was named to
the 2017 first-team AllMissouri Valley Conference squad. Also ranking first on the team in kills (5244.00/set), blocks (119) and hitting percentage (.360). Senior Kendyl Sorge led the team with 625 digs last season which tied for fourth all-time on the UNI Singleseason records for digs in a season. These are just a few of the many Panthers who hope to continue the same
team dominance from last year. The Panthers always match up well against bigtime opponents, and that’s what they have in Power Five conference opponent USC. UNI opens the 2018 season at the USC Tournament August 24-25 in Los Angeles, California. The return to Iowa to host in-state rivals Iowa State at the McLeod Center at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 29th.

SOCCER
UNI draw Coyotes in opener, 0-0 in overtime JERRIUS CAMPBELL Valley Soccer Complex on Sports Writer
The UNI women’s soccer team kicked off their season at home in Waterloo at the Cedar
August 19th against the South Dakota Coyotes. After 13 shot attempts, senior goal keeper Jami Reichenberger stood strong and did not fold. Seven attempts were
made on the goal but not one made it to the net. Even double overtime could not settle this match-up. The Panthers attempted 11 shots and on only four were on the goal as they drew
the game 0-0 with the Coyotes. The Panthers look ahead to play Wyoming on the road on August 24th. After last season road struggles the Panthers are looking
to improve game by game. The Panthers ended last season 14-51, as runners-up of for the MVC women’s soccer tournament title. The 14 wins set a school record for the most wins by a women’s
