Looking to Rebound
The Owls continue their four-match round trip to open the season against #15 Texas on Sunday. The trip will continue with Texas Southern and Northwestern State before the Owls home opener on Aug. 31 against Houston.
Last Time Out
The Owls dropped their season opener on the road against Incarnate Word 0-2 Thursday night. The loss snapped a 14-game win streak for Rice against the Southland Conference dating back to 2013.
A Tough Road Ahead
Rice will face several opponents in 2023 that are either ranked or receiving votes in the United Soccer Coaches preseason poll. The Owls will face No. 15 Texas, No. 20 Memphis, RV Xavier, RV Texas A&M and RV SMU.
Rice vs. Texas
The Owls are 1-5-1 all-time against Texas, with the last matchup resulting in a 1-1 draw (2OT) at Holloway Field. Rice's lone win against Texas came in a 1-0 shutout at home on Sept. 10, 2006. Rice is 0-4 on the road against Texas.
New Season, New Conference
The 2023 season marks Rice's inaugural season in the American Athletic Conference (AAC). Rice was one of six schools (Charlotte, Florida Atlantic, North Texas, UAB and UTSA) to join the conference for this season. Rice is coming off a regular season title in C-USA after posting a 9-0-1 conference record last year.
Three Owls Tabbed for Preseason Honors, Owls Picked Fourth in AAC West
Catarina Albuquerque, Mikala Furuto and Sarah Piper all earned preseason accolades by being named to the AAC Preseason Watch List. Furuto was also selected to the 2022 Second Team All-Conference USA last season. Rice was selected to finish fourth in the AAC West division behind AAC favorite Memphis, SMU and North Texas. UTSA and Tulsa rounded out the last two spots in the poll.
