The Peacocks are tied with three other teams in fifth place in the Northern Sun Conference with a .500 record in conference play. Upper Iowa is tied with Southwest Minnesota State, Concordia, and Wayne State. UIU has won five of their last six games and is currently 8-8 in NSIC games, all of which have come at Robertson Woods Field in Fayette.
