Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier

CEDAR FALLS – After an incredible finish to the 2020-21 season that saw the Northern Iowa women’s basketball team reach the WNIT semifinals, 15th-year head coach Tanya Warren is expecting more from the Panthers in 2021-22.

UNI returns 13 letterwinners, including three fifth-year seniors – Karli Rucker, Nicole Kroeger and Bre Gunnels – from a 17-13 team, and seven of those players have starting experience.

“As a team, honestly, I’d like to see this play with a little edginess,” Warren said Monday during UNI’s annual media day at the McLeod Center.
