The UNI women’s basketball team had a tough time finding their shooting rhythm and lost at Missouri State 66-57 on Sunday afternoon.

Sydney Wilson scored 18 points and Abigayle Jackson scored 16 for the Bears. They coupled four players in double figures with their stifling top rated defense to earn the win.

UNI had two players in double figures with guards Karli Rucker and Kam Finley. The two guards both had 14 points in Sunday’s contest, including all but one of the team’s treys. Forwards Grace Boffeli and Bre Gunnels were just behind in scoring with eight and seven points respectively.

UNI is 16-8 overall and 9-4 in the Valley. Next up the Panthers host Drake on Saturday at 2:00 p.m.
