The Northern Iowa women take a share of the Missouri Valley Conference lead on the road to Missouri State Thursday night. Panther coach Tanya Warren says a key against the Lady Bears will be rebounding.

Missouri State is one of the top offensive rebounding teams in the country.

Warren says a key to UNI’s 7-1 start in the Valley has been depth.

Missouri State is always good at home and the Panthers are 4-0 on the road in conference play.
