Out on the Island
The Owls head to Corpus Christi to face the Islanders on Saturday afternoon. Rice will return home next weekend to face Gonzaga at Tudor Fieldhouse.
Last Time Out
A lights-out shooting display powered the Owls to a 74-44 win over Texas Southern Wednesday night at Tudor Fieldhouse. Dominique Ennis led the Owls with a career-high 25 points, while Maya Bokunewicz added another 14 points.
Dom-inant
Dominique Ennis dropped a career-high 25 points on 9-of-13 shooting, including six three-pointers, while adding a career-high five assists, five rebounds and four steals in Rice's 74-44 win over Texas Southern.
Rice vs. TA&M-CC
This is the ninth all-time meeting between the Owls and the Islanders, with Rice holding a 6-2 series lead. The Owls have won the last three meetings.
Maya Buckets
Bokunewicz drained seven threes in Rice's 73-62 win over Saint Mary's, tying the school record for threes in a game (fourth time, second for Maya). Bokunewicz joins Jenny Cafferty (Fresno State 1-27-00), Kara Liggett (San Jose State 2-17-00), Katelyn Crosthwait (UTSA 1-16-23) and herself (UAB 3-5-22) with seven in a game.
Historic Feats vs. HCU
Rice allowed only five points in the first half against HCU, marking the fewest points allowed in a half in program history. The Huskies' lone point in the first quarter also marked the fewest points scored against Rice in program history.
Fisher Tabbed for Preseason Honors, Owls Picked Third
Junior forward Malia Fisher was named to the 2023 Preseason All-AAC Second Team. Fisher, an All-C-USA Second Teamer last season, was second on the team with 11.8 points per game while leading the team with 6.3 rebounds per game. She also had a team-high five double-doubles on the season. Fisher had a career-high 22 points, including the game-winning steal and layup against Louisiana Tech. Rice was selected third in the team's AAC debut, finishing behind preseason favorite South Florida and last season's champion East Carolina.
New Season, New Conference
The 2023-24 campaign marks the debut season for Rice in the American Athletic Conference. The Owls joined the AAC on July 1, 2023, after spending 18 years in Conference USA, where Rice won three regular season titles and the 2019 C-USA Tournament title.
