UNI jumped out to a double-digit lead in the second quarter but would be down in the final minute of the third after Evansville's best three-point shooting of the year. The Panthers locked it down in the final minute and a half for the five-point victory.

"You have to give Evansville credit for how they played today," said Head Coach Tanya Warren after the win.
