Owls Host Lumberjacks on Saturday
The Owls will play their second game in four days when they return to Tudor Fieldhouse to host the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks on Saturday at 2 p.m. Rice is coming off a 81-50 road victory at McNeese on Wednesday afternoon while the Lumberjacks have dropped consecutive games and are 0-3 on the road. Saturday's meeting with NAU will be the second all-time between the two schools. The Owls defeated the Lumberjacks, 88-83, in the Rolle Activity Center two seasons ago.
About NAU
The 'Jacks lead the Big Sky Conference in scoring at 77.2 points per game. NAU is also second in field goal percentage, shooting the ball at a 42.9 percent clip. Redshirt sophomore Nina Radford is the Big Sky's leading scorer with 17.8 points per game and is the only Lumberjack to score in double-figures in all four games
Last Time Out
Behind a balanced scoring attack, the Owls entered the Thanksgiving break triumphantly with an 81-50 road victory at McNeese State Wednesday afternoon. Rice (3-3) placed five players in double-figures, led by 12 points apiece from senior guard Erica Ogwumike and sophomore guard Haylee Swayze. Freshman guard Destiny Jackson (11 points), freshman wing Lauren Schwartz (10 points), and freshman forward India Bellamy (10 points) also scored in double-figures. Freshman guard Katelyn Crosthwait just missed out on joining the group with nine points off the bench.
Stingy D
The Owls have held 25 straight opponents below 70 points and 27 straight opponents below 45 percent shooting. Thru six games Rice is allowing opponents to score 53.8 points per game and shoot just 33.8 percent.
Taking Advantage at the Line
The Owls are currently ranked second in the nation in free throw percentage (82.4 percent). The trio of Erica Ogwumike (17-20), Lauren Schwartz (20-24), and Nancy Mulkey (9-10) have combined to shoot 47-of-54 (.870) at the stripe.
Keeping Hands Out of the Cookie Jar
Rice ranks 9th in the NCAA in fewest personal fouls, tallying just 13.0 fouls per contest.
A Look Ahead
The Owls won't play again until Dec. 7 when they travel across town to Texas Southern.
