On the Road
The Owls are back on the road Wednesday afternoon to take on Grambling State. Rice returns to Tudor Fieldhouse Saturday for the non-conference finale against Houston Christian.
Last Time Out
Rice used a strong second half to take down UT Arlington Friday during the annual Schoolhouse Mania game at Tudor Fieldhouse. Aniah Alexis led the Owls with 17 points, six rebounds, three steals, two assists and a block.
Weekly Honors
Rice collected another conference recognition with Aniah Alexis being named American Conference Honorable Mention. Alexis led the Owls to a win over UT Arlington with 17 points, six rebounds, three steals, two assists and a block. Alexis added a perfect 8-of-8 showing from the free throw line.
Ennis Etched in Record Books
Dominique Ennis became the program's all-time three-point leader during Rice's win over UNLV and currently has 204 career threes. Ennis snaps Nicole Iademarco's record of 198, who was on the team from 2016-19. Ennis' 80 three-pointers last season set the program's single-season record.
Dom Reaches 1,000
Dominique Ennis became the 27th player in program history to surpass 1,000 career points in Rice's overtime win against Illinois State. She is now the third player under Coach Edmonds to reach the milestone, with Ennis' 1,060 points ranking 19th in program history.
Rice vs. Grambling
This is the third meeting all-time between the two schools, with series tied at 1-1. This marks the first matchup since the 2000-01 season.
Perfect Night for Flores
Victoria Flores was a perfect 16-of-16 from the free throw line in Rice's 70-56 win on the road over Houston. Flores' 16 made free throws are the third most in a single game in school history (record - 18-18 by Holly Jones in 1985).
Non-conference Schedule
Rice's non-conference features seven teams that made postseason appearances last season, with South Dakota State and Princeton making the NCAA Tournament. Middle Tennessee and UNLV both played in the WBIT, while Incarnate Word, Illinois State (Fab Four) and UT Arlington were all in the WNIT.
Preseason Honors
Three Owls earned preseason All-Conference honors with Dominique Ennis (First Team), Aniah Alexis (Second Team) and Victoria Flores (Second Team) all earning recognition. Rice was selected third in the American Conference Preseason Coaches Poll.
Adams Named Servant Leader
Hailey Adams was one of 64 women's basketball athletes in the nation selected to be a Kay Yow Servant Leader Award winner, a prestigious award honoring student athletes who exemplify the values of leadership, selflessness, and service.
Year Five
Shelley Pennington and Friends Head Coach Lindsay Edmonds enters her fifth year at the helm for Rice. Already the fastest coach to win a conference title in program history, the Owls are fresh off back-to-back appearances in the American Conference Championship game, claiming the title in 2024.
