CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- It wasn't pretty, but the Panthers pulled off the win against St. Thomas 58-46 on Monday evening.
It took a defensive fourth quarter for UNI to get their first win of the season when they played the St. Thomas Tommies in its home opener. Points in the paint would separate the Panthers from St. Thomas as over half of UNI's scoring came from the lane and under the basket.
"Anytime you can come away with a W, that's a good thing," said Head Coach Tanya Warren. "I thought we played a little nervous the first two quarters.
