History edit

The modern intercollegiate era of University of Northern Iowa (UNI) women's basketball began in 1968.[2] Wanda Green coached these early UNI teams from 1968-78.[3] UNI’s next head coach, Sandra Williamson (1978-80), oversaw the team’s move to the UNI Dome.[2] J.D. Anderson (1980-84) was head coach when the program joined NCAA Division I basketball competition in the 1982-83 season.[3] Kim Mayden was the Panthers’ next head coach from 1984-89.[3] Terri Laswell (1989-95) led UNI during the team’s transition to the Missouri Valley Conference in 1992.[3] Tony DiCecco was head coach from 1995-2007.[3] The Panthers moved to the McLeod Center at the end of DiCecco's tenure.[2]

Current UNI women’s basketball head coach Tanya Warren started with the Panthers in 2007.[3] Warren has led the team to 12 postseason appearances in her 16 years as head coach.[4] Under Warren, the Panthers made their first trip to the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball tournament in 2010.[3] UNI returned to the NCAA tournament in 2011 and 2017.[3] On March 4, 2017, Tanya Warren became the all-time wins leader in UNI women's basketball history when she reached her 184th career win with a victory over Missouri State.[citation needed] Warren has been named Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year three times.[3] With Warren as coach, the UNI women won Missouri Valley Conference regular season titles in 2011 and 2016 and Missouri Valley Conference tournament championships in 2010 and 2011.[3]
