The Panthers won their first conference game Monday night, after a 20-point loss to the Bears Sunday afternoon.

UNI officials announced this week that spectator capacity for the Panthers' upcoming home games against Missouri State would be capped at 15-percent or 1,163 seats, which includes 125 tickets for students.

After a rough start to the season, the Panthers play their first game at the McLeod Center Friday night.

The men's and women's teams are both slated to play a full 18-game schedule, starting in late December.
