The Rice-UNT Scoreless Stretch
Including the match a week ago that ended in a double-overtime 0-0 tie, Rice and North Texas played close to 175 consecutive scoreless minutes before the Mean Green found the back of the Rice net in the 75th minute.
Close Calls
The Owls were out-shot in the contest 22-8, but Rice was not without some solid chances to score. Junior defender Mijke Roelfsema came forward to take a season-high three shots, including two that were corralled by the North Texas goalkeeper.
Career Climber
