The U-N-I volleyball team will host Wichita State in an important Missouri Valley Conference match-up tomorrow. The Panthers and the Shockers were the preseason co-favorites to win the Valley. U-N-I is looking to bounce back following a tough five-game loss at Illinois State last week. Northern Iowa is 2-1 in the Valley, while Wichita State is 4-0. With the league seeming to be extremely balanced this year, how many losses does U-N-I coach Bobbi Petersen think the team that wins the Valley will have? She says it could be as little as 1 or 2 or as many as 5. She says Wichita State looks to be the team to beat but they still have a way to go and she says since all the teams play twice, there are a lot of opportunities left. Petersen feels there’s a good rivalry between the two teams. She says they’re a team that’s always been very competative against them.
