UNI opened its exhibition season Nov. 2 with a surprisingly easy, 111-69 win over an Iowa's Best team composed of former college players. Kary Dawson finished with 21 points to lead all scorers. Janel Grimm totaled 12 points to lead Iowa's Best. We feel we've earned a little bit of respect from the coaches in the league. It's a great honor for us.
Fifth place is a compliment to our program.
I know our kids are very excited about it. They seem to have a much different outlook this year, and it'll be interesting to see how we begin to develop this team in our first two exhibition games. All home games in 1999, beginning with a Jan. 14 contest against Drake, will take place in the UNI-Dome. Center Katie Sorrell was most impressive, with 12 points and six rebounds in just nine minutes of action. Cedar Falls native Britt Stahl was also a force on the glass with six rebounds in 13 minutes of play.
