Herzberg propels UNI past Sycamores 59-47

CEDAR FALLS — Ellie Herzberg came off Northern Iowa’s bench to post a career-high 23 points and pulled down four rebounds to help in the Panthers’ 59-47 win against Indian State on Friday night.

Starter Madison Weekly helped out with 15 points and a team-high six assists to propel the Panthers (14-4, 7-0 MVC) to their 100th win inside the McLeod Center. Weekly struggled, going 4-of-20 from the floor and 0-of-10 from the 3-point line. Herzberg was 8-of-13 from the floor and made 4-of-8 3-pointers.

The Panthers struggled early on, down 11-10 at the end of the first quarter and only up 23-20 at halftime. But a 22-15 fourth-quarter affair, sparked by an 8-0 run pushed the Panthers ahead for the eventual win.

Northern Iowa players outscored the Sycamores (10-7, 4-2 MVC) 32-22 in the paint and turned 23 turnovers into 23 points on the other end. Of her 23 points, 11 of Herzberg’s total came in the final quarter.

Northern Iowa returns too host Loyola on Sunday at 2 p.m.
