UNI grabbed a 20-14 win over Indiana State on Saturday at the UNI-Dome. Panther quarterback Theo Day ran for one touchdown and threw for another to Alex Allen in the win.

The Panthers took the early lead with a score on their first drive, a 6-yard run by Day. UNI ended up leading 10-3 at halftime and struck again on the opening drive of the second half. Day found Allen for an 18-yard strike to cap off an 87-yard drive. The Sycamores would score the next 11-points to get within three of the Panthers with 7:41 left in the game. UNI would drive and tack on a 35-yard field goal with just under two minutes to play and the defense stepped up. Benny Sapp III grabbed an interception in the final minute to seal the Panther win.

UNI moves to 2-3 overall and 2-1 in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. Indiana State falls to 1-3 overall and 0-1 in MVFC play.

The Panthers return home next week to take on the Illinois State Redbirds for homecoming. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the UNI-Dome.
