Across the nation, people came together to remember the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

At Ground Zero, fam-ily members of those killed in the Twin Towers gath-ered at the newly opened 9/11 memorial to read the names of their loved ones. In California, people com-memorated the anniversa-ry by donating blood. In Shanksville, Pa., President Barack Obama laid a wreath of flowers at the site where United Flight 93 crashed. In Oklahoma, students came to see a beam from the World Trade Center. In Washington D.C., the mili-tary choirs sang “Amazing Grace” and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” in front of the Pentagon.

Ten years later

Before its destruction on Sept. 11, 2001, the World Trade Center was an inter-national commerce hub and tourist attraction. After a decade of cleanup, building and planning, a new WTC is being built. According to the WTC’s website, the new complex will include five new skyscrapers, the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, the WTC Transportation Hub, several thousand feet of retail space and a performing arts

center. In their time, the Twin Towers and other low-rise buildings in the WTC com-plex provided office space for hundreds of corporate and government tenants. The new complex includes six office towers that will reintro-duce that space to the lower Manhattan area. The tallest of the tow-ers will be One World Trade Center, which will reach 1,776 feet. Upon its completion, it will be the tallest build-ing in the United States and will include “office space, an observation deck, world-class

restaurants and broadcast and antennae facilities” according to the WTC website. The other skyscrapers at the new trade center will range in height and, like One World Trade Center, possess a different design and appear-ance from the original WTC buildings, whose addresses they will bear. No buildings will rise from the original site of the Twin Towers. Instead, the National September 11 Memorial and Museum will occupy that area. In the footprints of the

The names of nearly 3,000 individuals who died in the Sept. 11 attacks in New York City, Pennsylvania and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., are inscribed in plaques around the edges of the reflecting pools. The names of those killed in the 1993

bombing of the World Trade Center are included there as well, because an existing monument to those individuals was destroyed in the 9/11 attacks. Although a ceremony at the site of the World Trade Center took place on Sunday, much of the new WTC, including the September 11 Museum, is incomplete. Most of the new buildings are expected to be completed over the next three to five years, according to the WTC website.

There are 33 fewer students walking around the University of Northern Iowa’s campus this semester. The official fall 2011 enrollment for UNI is 13,168, which is 33 fewer stu-dents than for fall 2010.

In a press release regarding the official announcement of the numbers, UNI President Benjamin Allen provided some explanations for the decrease.

“Following four consecu-tive years of increased enroll-ment, the slight decline in new student enrollment mir-rors the state’s decline in the number of seniors graduating from Iowa high schools,” Allen said. “In addition, we know that the economic needs of our students and families are great and that the economy is having a more significant impact on our students.”

Terrence Hogan, Vice-President of Student Affairs, reaffirmed this.

“We draw a vast majority of our students from Iowa, about 90 percent,” Hogan said. “So this is fairly comparable to the decline of potential stu-dents.”

Hogan also said that although there is little statisti-cal proof that the economy is affecting higher education, it goes without saying that the economy is indeed affecting those who may attend college. Hogan said that to combat the economic recession, for four years UNI has been tar-geting a growing proportion of financial aid to students with financial need. This has

helped people to some degree, but because of education cuts, there is a limit to the amount of money.

“We are always working to try and make more and more prospective students consid-er UNI as an option,” Hogan said. “We are constantly try-ing to improve our methods we employ in trying to do that.”

Despite the decreased enrollment, the enrollment for multicultural students increased to an all-time high of 7.4 percent of the student body this fall, while the enroll-ment for out-of-state students increased to 2 percent, accord-ing to a press release last week.

“It is encouraging to see that our strategic efforts in out-of-state and multicultur-al recruitment are having a positive impact on our enroll-ment,” Allen said.

Hogan said that UNI has made a specific effort to boost the diversity of the student body for three years and that this increase has been a posi-tive result of that.

He also explained that UNI has been striving to increase out-of-state enrollment as well. According to Hogan, the first regionally based recruit-er is in northern Illinois and was there for the last cycle of enrollment, which may explain the increase.

Allen confirmed the impor-tance of enrollment to the UNI administration in the press release.

“As always, growing enroll-ment at UNI will be a prior-ity,” Allen said.

9/11 warrants critical discussion

T.C. would agree... Both of my parents went to the University of Iowa, and I, obvi-ously, do not. I grew up on Iowa Hawkeye football and own one Hawkeye shirt. I use it once every college football season to wipe up the tears I shed after Iowa’s annual loss to Northwestern. I do this for two reasons: I cry a lot when Iowa loses a football game and I refuse to

wear Hawkeye gear on our campus. (Cue gasps.) If you are at all like me, you are apparently one of the lucky few who were allowed input while the discussion of where you’d be going to college was taking place between your parents. I somehow tricked my parents into allowing me to make the decision that I thought would be ”best for me.” But I understand not everyone is as sneaky as I am. That is why I only narrowly escape

emitting overly emotional displays of empathy as I observe the silent cries of those forced against their will to pursue their secondary edu-cation at our university. Students roam campus like dis-dainful zombies, seemingly void of emotion and feeling, sporting the only part of their wardrobe that clutches onto the hope from a sim-pler time. At one point in their lives,

When I heard this year’s “Reaching for Higher Ground” topic was “Community After 9/11,” I was disappointed. Don’t get me wrong — my heart goes out to those 3,000 individuals who lost their lives and their loved ones who have had to suffer as a result. But to be completely honest, I’m sick and tired of all the focus on how we’ve “come together as a nation” when so many negative consequences have come from this so-called “community.” However, when I actually looked at the list of Higher Ground events, I was pleasantly surprised. The University of Northern Iowa isn’t simply giving feel-good talks on how we’ve “risen up and overcome this,” but rather is promoting an honest, and most impor-tantly, critical discussion of 9/11 and its consequences. By consequences, I’m not talking about the ones we typically think about, the ones that can be blamed on terrorists; I’m referring to the consequences stemming from America’s reaction to 9/11. Sadly, many of these reactions caused unthinking, unethical and even illegal end results. One of these consequenc-es is the Patriot Act. In the name of fighting terrorism, the U.S. government decided that it should have the right to tap phone and Internet lines and have fewer restric-tions on access to certain private records. In my mind, this is not only an unethical invasion of privacy but also an act that directly violates the Fourth Amendment, which protects us from unreasonable search and sei-zure. Another consequence of the reactions to 9/11 has been prejudice against people of the Muslim faith or of Arab descent. Now, that’s not to say that we necessar-ily need to like Islam itself — I don’t like any religion, in fact, and I do recognize that most of the terrorists were at least partially religiously motivated. However, this doesn’t mean I view all Muslim people as being connected with terrorism, because it’s simply not true. To be scared of all Muslims in this context is like being scared of all Christians because one murderer happened to be a Christian — it’s illogi-cal and prejudicial. We’ve seen examples of this prejudice in at least one high-profile case — the so-called “Ground Zero

mosque.” The fact that so many people thought a mosque shouldn’t be allowed to be built near the site of the attacks shows both bigotry and an irreverence for our First Amendment right to religious freedom. When it comes to examples of prejudice against people of Arab descent, while they aren’t as publicized, it’s just as serious of an issue. According to the Arab American Institute Foundation, 20 percent of Arab Americans reported ethnic discrimination less than a month after 9/11, including bomb and death threats. While the Patriot Act and prejudice are both unfortunate results, perhaps the most pervasive, wide-spread consequence of 9/11 is what I would describe as an ardent, dogmatic patriotism. One of the best examples of this, perhaps, is many Americans’ reac-tions to the assassination of Osama Bin Laden. While

I won’t even get into the moral arguments sur-rounding the act (though Department of Philosophy and World Religions head Jerry Soneson did an excel-lent job of addressing them in the first Reaching for Higher Ground event this past Saturday), what I am most struck by is the emer-gence of a dangerous “us versus them” mentality. We seem to care little about whether or not Bin Laden’s death objectively signifies a safer world, but rather that “justice” has been served, that we have destroyed the enemy, that

America is number one and that nothing, not even Osama Bin Laden, can take that away from us. The wild partying and “U-S-A-U-S-A” chants that took place at the White House and Times Square solidifies the fact that we are more concerned with maintaining our superiority complex and celebrating revenge rather than truly trying to make the world a better, safer place in light of 9/11. As someone who was abroad while all this happened, I can tell you that to the rest of the world, these acts reeked of arrogance and a mindless mob mentality. In light of the consequences of 9/11 that are rarely discussed critically, I’m pleased that UNI is providing a forum where we can take a serious look at these issues, without fear of being labeled “unpatriotic.” I reject that label. If you truly love your country, you would take some time (and maybe even attend a Reaching for Higher Ground event) and think critically about how our nation has reacted to 9/11, and whether we have truly risen up to overcome this, or rather resorted to

OpiniOnOpiniOn

I traveled to Ames last weekend expecting to witness a great foot-ball match-up between our very own University of Northern Iowa Panthers and their in-state rivals, the Iowa State University Cyclones. I left Jack Trice Stadium disappointed, but not in the fact that the Panthers lost to the Cyclones 20-19. Don’t get me wrong; I would have loved to have seen UNI win, especially since they outplayed ISU for a majority of the game. The thing that disappointed me the most were the UNI “fans.” I’m not talking about the 5,000 Panther faithful who made the 90-mile trip to Ames; I’m talking about the numerous UNI gradu-ates and -- worse yet -- the current UNI students who were in Ames wearing red and yellow cheering on the Cyclones. I realize we live in the “Hawkeye” state where a majority of the kids are raised to be fans of the University of Iowa Hawkeyes or the ISU Cyclones. It’s usually one or the other. UNI hardly gets mentioned. We are viewed as “the little brother school” to Iowa, Iowa State and their fans. It’s time to change that mentality. As previously stated, UNI lost to Iowa State, member of the Big 12 Conference, by one point last weekend, 20-19. During the Panthers’ last trip to Iowa City they experienced a similar fate, losing by one point, 17-16, at the hands of the “almighty” Hawkeyes from the Big 10 Conference. Hawkeye and Cyclone fans can gloat all they want about having beat UNI in football. However, if I were an Iowa or ISU fan, I would be a little embarrassed to have barely defeated a team who has a fraction of the athletic budget and schol-arships that both Iowa and Iowa State have. Let’s not forget about the other sports the teams match up in. UNI athletic pro-grams have consistently proven that they can compete and even surpass the level of our in-state rivals; in fact, I would be willing to argue that UNI has had the most successful men’s basketball team in the state over the past decade. How do you think the UNI student-athletes feel when they see members of the UNI student body wearing Iowa and Iowa State clothing on campus, let alone when they are competing against the Hawkeyes and Cyclones? UNI athletics demand respect, especially from their own student body. Instead of heading home, to Ames or to Iowa City for the weekend, why not try staying in Cedar Falls and sup-porting the UNI Panthers? The college students are what make the gameday experience great. Put on your purple and gold, be loud, be loyal and support the Panthers!

PAGE 4 OPINION I Tuesday, September 13, 2011 I northern-iowan.org

We’ve been back to school for nearly a month and I think it’s about time to update you on what the Northern Iowa Student Government worked on over the summer. The very first thing that we did was start this column. Every week, Vice President Goldsmith and I write a column in the Northern Iowan to keep you in touch with us. This is something that we promised to do during our campaign as a way to increase transparency and reach out to you, and so far we have had a lot of fun with it. Keep checking back every week to see what new and exciting information and advice we have to share with you. When your new student government took office late last spring, we heard a number of complaints about the pedestrian bridge crossing Hudson Road. When that par-ticular bridge gets wet, it becomes very hazardous and we had heard many reports of people slipping and fall-ing while crossing the bridge. Your senators heard your voices and took action, passing a resolution requesting that the bridge be resurfaced. We are very fortunate to attend a university where the administrative staff actually listens to the students. As a result of the resolution, Facilities Services spent the summer trying to improve the slippery conditions for the immediate future, and the pedestrian bridge has been slated for renovation and improvements over the 2012 summer. One of the most common requests I receive is to allow skateboards and longboards to be used on campus. Those boards offer a compact and maneuverable alternative to walking, biking or driving to campus. Unfortunately, skateboards and longboards have been prohibited for use on campus – until now. Last Friday afternoon, Director of Public Safety David Zarifis stopped by my office to tell me that Public Safety would now permit both skateboards and long-boards to be used on campus. You will still be cited if you damage University property, are operating a board in the parking garage or present a danger to pedestrians.

But, you can now ride a longboard to safely class without fearing reprimand from our police officers. Have you ever been bored on the weekends at UNI because there is nothing to do on campus? Hopefully, you will see that start to change. NISG has decided to start a trial program to offer additional funding, which includes funding for food, to student organizations that host a program on the weekends. NISG’s bylaws normally do not allow us to fund food, but we hope that if student organizations begin host-ing events Friday evenings through Sunday afternoons, using food as an incentive to increase attendance, we can lose some of our stigma as a suitcase campus and provide a more enriching and safer weekend experience. NISG has also started to collaborate more with other student organizations. In the past, NISG’s role in many events was solely as a source of funding. Vice President Goldsmith and I both wanted to get NISG more directly involved with the events being planned around campus. The fruits of this new collaborative spirit will bloom in the coming months. NISG has partnered with the Center for Multicultural Education, Campus Activities Board and Reaching For Higher Ground to bring the film “Mooz-lum” to campus for a screening on Sept. 29 in the Maucker Union Ballroom. A Q-and-A session with the film’s director will follow the film, which follows a Muslim college student struggling with his faith leading up to and directly following the Sept. 11 attacks. NISG is also partnering with the Homecoming Committee and CAB to provide a free lunch at the Campanile on the Wednesday of Homecoming week. We feel that this is a great way to start the Homecoming cel-ebrations and give you an opportunity to meet your stu-dent government leaders, who will be serving the food. We have accomplished so much more than I have been able to list here, and we have many other projects in the works. I look forward to being able to report even greater progress in the coming weeks. Go Panthers!

FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK

What NISG’s been doing for YOUSPENCER WALRATHStudent Body President

these individuals had ambition; then they had to graduate high school. Reality hit their dreams like the star linebacker from the football team that represents the school their shirt implies they wish they were currently attending. Like the defensive coordinator of that very team, their parents’ main goal was to be the immovable object in the head-to-head competition with their dreams; the dreams that they greatly overesti-mated to be an unstoppable force. To describe myself as upset would be an understatement. I am fed up with par-ents shoving their unfulfilled hopes and dreams on their overburdened children, while teary-eyed high school students across the state are forced to hide their Cyclone graphic tees under their mat-tresses. These students need to take a play from Herky’s book and “fight, fight, fight” for what they believe in: a world in which students wear clothing that sup-ports the very school they attend. In all honesty, I have never claimed to know anything about investments, but I believe one of the most worthwhile pur-chases a University of Northern Iowa student can make is one that acquires them some form of Panther parapher-nalia. Nobody at a basketball game talks to the kid wearing a red hoodie in the student section of the McLeod Center. It may be comfortable, but your overuse of fabric softener due to your lack of expe-rience washing your own clothes should never be the only comforting aspect of any situation (trust me). A very wise person once told me, “you don’t have to bleed purple and gold; you just have to wear it.” The way I see it, if you make an effort to love your school, it’ll love you right back.

DEAD AIRAuthor speaks about missing news anchor

AJ CASSIDYStaff Writer

Standing before an audi-ence in the Center for Multicultural Education Thursday, author Beth Bednar asked a very pointed question to start her talk: “Why are all of you here?” Bednar, a former news anchor from KAAL-TV in Austin, Minn., was on cam-pus to discuss a suspected murder that occurred 16 years ago – one that remains unsolved to this day. That case is the disappearance of Mason City news anchor Jodi Huisentruit on June 27, 1995. Bednar details the disappearance and possible solutions to the mystery in her new book, “Dead Air: The Disappearance of Jodi Huisentruit.”

Of those in attendance, some were there for partici-pation points for class, and several others grew up in the Mason City area, expe-riencing news of the events firsthand. Huisentruit’s unsolved abduction left an indelible mark on the people of Iowa, and on Bednar. As a news anchor in the same region as Huisentruit, Bednar described hearing the news of the abduction. “The day she disappeared, it hit so close to home, that it felt like someone punched me in the gut,” Bednar said. For research into her book, Bednar spent a year and a half conducting inter-views and searching the site of the disappearance and surrounding vicinity.

Some people shot down her requests, others angled for something in return and many spoke to her only on condition of anonymity. Even after all this time, Bednar found a wealth of information. “Most people are still fas-cinated, frankly,” said Bednar. “It’s still the highest-profile cold case in the history of Iowa. People don’t want to see it swept under the rug. This is one case where peo-ple still care.” During the visit to cam-pus, Bednar answered ques-tions about her process of writing the book, discussed the disappearance and read a section of the book about

one potential eyewitness on the morning of the disap-pearance. “My ultimate hope is that someone will come forward and say something. There’s got to be someone out there who knows something but is keeping quiet,” said Bednar. Dakota Fleshner, a junior elementary education major, enjoyed the talk and Bednar’s book. “I thought it was really interesting – I read it last August,” said Fleshner. “I’m from south of Mason City, so I grew up hearing about (the case), and I thought it was cool to hear.” Jake Green, a freshman

PostSecretWhat’s your secret?

Courtesy of MCT CAMPUSOne of the many postcards sent to Frank Warren, founder of PostSecret.

On Thursday, the University of Northern Iowa will be hosting speaker Frank Warren, the creator, founder and author of the PostSecret Project. PostSecret is one of the largest and most popular ad-free blogs on the Internet and has been nominated for many awards over the past few years, including “Best American Weblog” and awards for advancing suicide prevention. According to www.PostSecret.com, “PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard.” PostSecret began in December of 2003 when Warren visited Paris, France, for the first time. The proj-ect was a dream that Warren had one night. Earlier that day, he had purchased a set

of Antoine de Saint-Expery postcards. That night, he dreamt about the postcards, each having a different mes-sage on the back, altering the postcard from its origi-nal form and thus morphing it into its own new piece of art. The first card had a mes-sage saying, “Unrecognized evidence, from forgot-ten journeys, unknowing-ly rediscovered.” Warren awoke the next morning and took out his recently pur-chased and dreamt-of post-cards, attempting to recreate them as they appeared to him in his dream. A month later in January of 2004, the “reluctant oracle” project was born. The “reluctant oracle” was different from PostSecret in that Warren created a new message, a new work of art, every Sunday. He then released his new work of art to be discovered by

A large projection screen in the Oak Room of Maucker Union runs a looping video with harrowing statis-tics about the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. Students sit in rows of chairs watching the numbers scroll and listening to the narrators spell out the importance of this disease. Everyone is gathered to learn about the disease while min-gling and helping themselves to an ice cream bar. The event is the Alzheimer’s Ice Cream Social, and it’s run by A4A,

the Advocates for Alzheimer’s stu-dent group at the University of Northern Iowa. Jessica Stakey, a senior elementary education major, is the group’s president and helped organize the event. “We were trying to think of some fun ways to grab people and pro-mote it,” said Stakey. Stakey helped start the chapter at UNI last year with help from the Alzheimer’s Association outreach office in Cedar Falls. The group puts on a variety of events throughout the year, includ-ing QUASH (the Quest to Unravel Alzheimer’s Scavenger Hunt) and

the annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Stakey was inspired to get involved with the cause when her grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Even though she has personal history with the disease, Stakey stresses that the organiza-tion is something that addresses “a growing concern for everyone.” “As the Baby Boomer generation is aging, it’ll be all of us taking care of our family or friends,” she said. Several students in attendance made plans to join the ranks of the group, including Alexis Newberry, a sophomore finance and accounting major.

“I heard about (the ice cream social) during the Organization Fair today. Knowing what they do dur-ing the semester helps a lot,” said Newberry. Megan Fritz, a sophomore nurs-ing major, was optimistic about the upcoming schedule of events, say-ing, “It’s cool that they have oppor-tunities like the walk and QUASH.” A4A’s first official meeting of the semester is Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. in the College Eye Room in the basement of Maucker Union.

members, came together to honor the lives lost in the 9/11 attacks in a flag plant-ing ceremony.

Participants planted one flag in Lawther Field for every victim of the attacks. American flags were inter-mingled with the flags of 114 nations, representing the many nationalities of those killed on 9/11.

Kristen Meyers, a senior political communications major, helped put on the event. She said that the choice to include more than American flags was a delib-erate one.

“It wasn’t just New York and Washington that got affected (by 9/11). It wasn’t just America. It was the whole world that was affect-ed,” Meyers said. “If you’re an American today and you’re not affected, there’s a problem there. When your country gets attacked, that’s everyone’s business.”

Parash Upreti, a fresh-man accounting major from Nepal, came to plant a flag to “show solidarity with the United States.” Like Meyers, he noted that 9/11 had an international impact. Upreti recalled learning about the attacks the morn-ing after they occurred because of the time differ-ence between the U.S. and Nepal.

“The whole world was shattered,” Upreti said. “We are affected too.”

The ceremony was marked by four moments of silence to commemo-rate the moments when the World Trade Center Towers fell and the crash-es at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania.

Daniel Jensen, a senior geography major and a member of both the ROTC program and the National Guard, played “Taps” for each moment of silence. Jensen said he wanted to be involved to honor those lost on Sept. 11.

“It’s vitally important to remember what happened and what the families went through and the lessons of that day,” Jensen said.

Iowa State Representative Bob Kressig came to the ceremony and, like Jensen, noted the importance of remembrance. Kressig said he was happy to see an event put together by students who were young when 9/11 happened.

“That’s gratifying that generation after generation won’t forget that 9/11 hap-pened and that we’ll work to prevent it from happen-ing again,” Kressig said.

Rhonda Greenway, direc-tor of governmental rela-tions for the Northern Iowa Student Government, said the event could help stu-

dents remember the impact of an event that happened early in their childhoods.

“We have freshmen who were in third grade when the attacks happened, so it’s making sure that they’re cognizant of what hap-pened,” Greenway said.

For Amanda Arp, a soph-omore English major, the event was “something that can bring us together.” She said that for her, the cer-emony was not just about remembering those killed but about “our ability to bounce back from an attack like that.”

The flag planting cer-emony additionally served as a way to teach children who weren’t alive when the attacks happened. Kristin Moser, a senior research analyst for UNI’s Institutional Research, was one of many who brought children to the event. She and her 5-year-old son Holden planted flags. She said the event was a way both to “honor the day and to teach (Holden) about what happened.”

The flags from the cer-emony will remain in Lawther Field through this Friday. In Jensen’s opinion, this will “make a statement to campus.”

“We won’t forget,” Jensen said. “That’s the big-gest thing.”

The No. 15-ranked University of Northern Iowa volleyball team suffered their first loss of the 2011 season to the No. 6-ranked University of Minnesota Golden Gophers but still defeated Kansas University and St. Louis University in the process to take second place in the Clarion Inn-vitational. UNI’s first match of the tournament was against Kansas. Things were look-ing grim for the Panthers after losing the first two sets 19-25 and 20-25. However, UNI never gave up in the final three sets against the Jayhawks, winning by scores of 25-20, 25-8 and 15-8. Kansas (8-1) came into the first set on fire, but the Panthers clawed their way back to force six lead chang-

es and 10 ties in the set. Bre Payton tried rallying the team back by making the score 22-19, but it was the Jayhawks who put the last three points on the board to take set number one.

UNI (9-1) took an early 5-1 lead in the second set. However, it was Kansas who had a late 4-1 run to take the second set, 25-20. After the break, UNI had newfound energy and

defeated the Jayhawks 25-21 due to persistent play by the women around the net. The fourth set was dominated by the Panthers, who held Kansas to just seven kills while adding 16 of their own. Shelby Kintzel led the way with five of those kills, pushing the Panthers to a 25-8 win. UNI took control of the fifth and final set early on as they jumped out to a 5-1 advantage. The Panthers would push their lead to 14-7 before Krista DeGeest ended the match with a kill to give UNI the 3-2 win. The Panthers fared much better in their next match of the tournament when they faced the St. Louis Billikens (3-4). UNI swept SLU 25-21, 25-11 and 25-19. The first set was close until UNI took the victory

Last year’s football match up between the University of Northern Iowa Panthers and the Stephen F. Austin University Lumberjacks was physical to say the least. UNI and SFA finished the game with a combined 20 penalties, six of which were either personal fouls or unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. The Panthers suf-fered a 22-20 defeat at the hands of the Lumberjacks in front of a UNI-Dome crowd of 12,260. However, this past weekend, the No. 4-ranked Panthers had revenge on their minds as they traveled to Homer Bryce Stadium in Nacogdoches, Tex., to face the No. 16-ranked Lumberjacks. UNI left Texas satisfied, with a hard-fought 34-23 victory. The Panthers (1-1) were led by redshirt freshman run-ning back David Johnson and senior quarterback Tirrell Rennie, who each rushed for two touchdowns in the con-test. Johnson rushed for 87 yards on 31 carries, while Rennie recorded his eighth career game with more than 100 rushing yards at 126 yards on 19 carries. UNI posted 211 rushing yards en route to victory while limiting SFA’s vaunt-ed passing attack to 281 yards. The Panthers were

outgained 407-362 in total yards but were able to force the Lumberjacks into four turnovers. Each of UNI’s three starting lineback-ers forced a turnover, with seniors Jordan Smith and James Conley each intercept-ing a Brady Attaway pass, while senior L.J. Fort forced and recovered a fumble. The Lumberjacks (1-1) opened the game with a nine-play, 68-yard scor-ing drive to take a 7-0 lead with 10:41 remaining in the first quarter. After punting on their first possession, the Panthers forced their first turnover of the game when Smith intercepted an Attaway pass in UNI ter-ritory. The Panther offense drove down the field to the SFA 26-yard line, where sophomore kicker Tyler Sievertsen connected on a 43-yard field goal to make the score 7-3 SFA with 3:11 left in the first quarter. Conley intercepted Attaway in the second quar-ter, returning it from the UNI 35-yard line to the SFA 46-yard line. Conley’s inter-ception helped set up anoth-er Sievertsen field goal, this one from 22 yards away. Sievertsen’s field goal made the score 7-6 SFA with 5:10 remaining in the first half. The Lumberjacks responded with a 35-yard field goal of their own to

and all of the momentum away from SLU. The set was tied at 18-18, but UNI went on 7-3 run to take the first set. The second set was all about the Panthers, who recorded a .515 attack per-centage for the set. UNI won 25-11. The Panthers ended the match after the third set in which they never trailed and took the win 25-19. UNI was led by Lehman, who had a career-high 14 kills. The final match of the tournament pitted the Golden Gophers (5-2) against the host Panthers. The first set went well for UNI as they took a 12-7 lead early on. The Gophers responded by tying the set at 19-19. The Panthers ended the first set with a kill by Kintzel, who received an assist from Payton, to make the final score 25-21. The Gophers dominated the Panthers in the second set, winning 25-12 to even the score at 1-1. “They kind of took us out of our game with the serve and we really just couldn’t fight back from that,” said UNI head coach Bobbi Petersen. The Gophers would go on to win the third set as well, again taking the Panthers completely out of the game. Minnesota jumped out to an early 17-7 lead and won

25-14. UNI responded by com-ing out of the locker room ready to take the fourth set. “The work ethic is always there and we love kids who have a lot of pride in UNI,” said Petersen. The Panthers showed determination in the fourth set as they jumped out to an early 9-2 lead. The Gophers came back to make it close at 18-15, but UNI outscored Minnesota 7-1 to take the set 25-16. With the match tied 2-2 it came down to the fifth set between the two top-15 ranked teams. The score of the fifth set was notched at 7-7 until Minnesota started to pull away. The Panthers were able to pull within three points to make the score 13-10, but they did not score another point and the Gophers took the set 15-10 and won the match 3-2. “What’s good about it is we definitely know we were right in there with the No. 6 team in the country,” Petersen said. “There are a lot of things that I feel we can control that we didn’t control tonight, which will obviously help us as we head into the rest of our season.” The Panthers will be looking to rebound from their first loss as they host in-state rival Iowa State University at 7 p.m. on Tuesday in the McLeod Center.

at 10-6 with 1:51 left in the second quarter. However, the SFA lead would be short-lived as UNI responded with a 10-play, 82-yard drive to take a 13-10 lead into the locker room. Johnson scored the go-ahead touchdown from one yard out. SFA would tie the game at 13-13 with 11:50 remaining in the third quarter, but would never regain the lead as UNI scored on an eight-play, 75-yard drive that was capped by a 20-yard touchdown run by Rennie to give UNI a 20-13 lead with 7:50 remaining in the third quarter. Another Lumberjacks field goal cut the UNI lead to 20-16, but the Panthers answered after Fort forced and recovered a fumble to give UNI possession at the SFA 22-yard line late in the third quar-ter. On the opening play of the fourth quarter Johnson found the endzone once again, giving UNI a 27-16 advantage. However, SFA refused to go away as they scored a touchdown with 8:40 remaining in the game to cut the UNI lead to 27-23. The Panthers were able to respond one more time, reeling off a 12-play, 65-yard drive that was capped by a nine-yard touchdown run from Rennie. The touchdown gave UNI a 34-23 lead with 3:10 remaining. Junior cornerback J.J. Swain recorded the Panthers’ third interception of the game with 1:38 left to seal the UNI victory. Rennie was nine-for-25 passing for 151 yards on the night. Senior receiver Jarred Herring led the Panthers with two catches for 60 yards. Smith led the UNI defense with 16 tackles. The Panthers have a bye week this Saturday and won’t play again until Sept. 24 when they host the Western Illinois University Leathernecks (1-1) for Family Weekend in the UNI-Dome. Kickoff is set for 4:05 p.m.
