Ennis Etched in Record Books

Dom Reaches 1,000
Dominique Ennis became the 27^th 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' 1,173 points ranking 13th 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. Tulane
This is the 33rd meeting between the two schools, with the Green Wave holding an 18-14 series lead. Rice has won two of the last three meetings since joining the American, but Tulane has won three straight in Houston.

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.
