The Northern Iowa women’s basketball team hopes to establish a new attendance record in the McLeod Center tonight when the Panthers host Drake. Both teams share the Missouri Valley Conference lead with identical 8-0 records.

UNI won the Valley regular season title last year while the Bulldogs have finished second the past two years.
