Tuesday Night in Tulsa
Rice wraps up a short two-game road stand Tuesday night against Tulsa in a battle of two atop the conference standings. The Owls return home Saturday afternoon to take on Tulane.
Last Time Out
Rice held on for a tough road win over North Texas 58-54 Saturday afternoon at The Super Pit. Victoria Flores led the Owls with 16 points, four steals and a rebound, while Shelby Hayes added 10 points, five rebounds, two steals and an assist.
Weekly Honors
Rice women's basketball senior center Shelby Hayes earned more conference recognition, being named American Conference Honorable Mention. Hayes led Rice to a pair of wins, collecting her third double-double with 18 points, 12 rebounds against UAB and 10 points, five rebounds and two steals at UNT.
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 221 career threes. Ennis snaps Nicole Iademarco's record of 198, who was on the team from 2016-19. Ennis's 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' 1,147 points ranking 14th in program history.
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).
Rice vs. Tulsa
This is the 42nd meeting between the two long-time foes, with the Owls holding a 27-14 series lead. Rice has won the last two meetings between the two, but the Golden Hurricane hold a 12-7 lead in games in Tulsa.
Non-con Phenom
Rice's 10 wins during the non-conference slate are tied for the most wins during non-conference play in program history. This is the third time Rice has reached 10 non-conference wins, with the other two being during the 2017-18 and 1992-93 seasons.
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.
