Lawrenceville, N.J. -
Lauren Neaves had a game-high 18 points and eight rebounds, and four other Rice players scored in double figures as the Owls rolled past Rider 92-57 Sunday at Alumni Gym in Lawrenceville, N.J. The win moved Rice to 2-0 on the year, while Rider dropped to 0-1.
The 92 points were the most scored by a Rice team since a 97-55 win over Fresno State on Jan. 22, 2004. As a team, the Owls shot 55.6 percent from the field while holding the Broncs to 29.8 percent shooting.
New Jersey native Maudess Fulton had a big cheering contingent in the crowd for her homecoming as she scored 14 points, while Kadie Riverin added 13, Samantha Stovall 12 and Valeriya Berezhynska 10.
Rice returns to action Friday in its home opener against Ole Miss at 7 pm at Autry Court.
