Panthers sweep Salukis in straight sets

CARBONDALE, Ill. – The UNI Panther volleyball team entered Davies Gym as the only undefeated squad in Missouri Valley Conference play, and UNI emerged Saturday with its perfect record intact after defeating the Southern Illinois Salukis, 3-0 (25-6, 25-20, 25-20). This win over the Salukis (9-7 overall, 2-2 MVC) means that the Panthers (11-6 overall, 4-0 MVC) continue their best start to league action since a 6-0 opening in 2019.
