HOUSTON — Coming off a conference championship and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament Round of 32, the No. 23 Rice Volleyball team begins its 2023 schedule on Saturday when it welcomes crosstown foe and 19th-ranked Houston for a 5 p.m. first serve at Tudor Fieldhouse.
The Owls return four starters and nine letterwinners from last year's team that went 27-4 and won the Conference USA championship. Seniors Nia McCardell and Danyle Courtley all earned C-USA All-Conference honors, while McCardell was named the C-USA Libero of the Year.
The Owls have won the last three meetings against UH and six of the last seven. Last year, Rice swept the Cougars in both team's season opener.
General admission tickets are $7.13 and can be bought at RiceOwls.com.
