Regular Season Finale
The Owls close the regular season Thursday night in Tulsa against the Golden Hurricane. Rice will then head to Lakewood Ranch, Fla., for the American Conference Tournament starting on Monday.
Last Time Out
Rice used a clutch penalty-kick goal from Leah Chancey in the final minutes to result in a 1-1 draw against East Carolina Thursday night at Holloway Field. Chancey's goal was her 10th of the season, tying her for third in goals in a single season.
National Recognition
Leah Chancey checked in at No. 63 in the TopDrawerSoccer Midseason Top 100 Players, after starting the season at 67 in the preseason rankings. Another Owl, Jadyn Jaeger, was slotted at No. 51 in the TopDrawerSoccer Midseason Top 100 Freshmen. Chancey leads the Owls with eight goals and eight assists on the season, while Jaeger adds another two goals and two assists for her young collegiate career.
Rice vs. Tulsa
This is the 19th meeting in the series, with the Owls holding a 12-6 series lead. Rice won last season's matchup 1-0 in Houston, while Tulsa won the most recent meeting in Oklahoma.
Lee Earns Win 350
During Rice's 3-2 win over Oklahoma State on August 28, head coach Brian Lee recorded with 350th career win as a head coach. Coach Lee has been a head coach for 32 seasons with stops at Furman (11 seasons) and LSU (14 seasons) before taking over Rice in 2019 (7th season). Lee currently ranks 18th in wins by active DI coaches.
HTX Takeover in the RGV
The Owls had an offensive explosion at UTRGV, dropping six goals in the shutout win. The Owls' six goals are the most in a game since scoring eight against TSU during the 2020-21 season. The six goals are the most scored on the road since Rice had seven at Old Dominion in 2017.
Two Up, Two Down
Mariana Elizondo has opened the 2025 season on fire; netting goals in back-to-back matches, both being game-winning goals. The two goals tie a season high, when she scored twice back in the 2022 season (also the last time she scored before the 2025 campaign).
Welcome to *Our* House
The Owls defended Holloway Field fiercely last season, going 10-1-1 at home. The Owls have a 146-60-24 all-time home record. Rice currently has a 10-game unbeaten streak at home against non-conference opponents, going 9-0-1 in that span.
