TERRE HAUTE, Indiana – The UNI women's basketball team completed their largest comeback of the season, erasing a 16-point deficit in the second half to sweep the series with Indiana State.
The Panthers 61-55 win over the Sycamores has cemented the third seed for UNI in the Hoops in the Heartland MVC tournament next weekend.
