Trip to Memphis
Rice closes its two-game road series Saturday afternoon at Memphis as the Owls seek a 15th consecutive win. The Owls open a three-game homestand next Tuesday night against North Texas.
Last Time Out
Rice powered past UTSA 65-55 behind a career day from Victoria Flores Saturday afternoon at the Convocation Center. Flores led the Owls behind a career-high 33 points, on 8-of-10 shooting, with five rebounds, an assist and block.
Weekly Honors
Following a career weekend, Rice junior guard Victoria Flores was named the American Conference Player of the Week. Flores led the Owls with a career-high 33 points, on 8-of-10 shooting, featuring four three-pointers, while also adding five rebounds, an assist and a block at UTSA. She also finished with 13 points, a rebound, assist and steal against Temple.
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 232 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' 1,198 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).
A New Streak
Aniah Alexis had the nation's longest perfect start at the free throw line this season, opening with a 43- of-43 shooting mark spanning over 20 games. Alexis had her first miss of the season against Temple (1/28). The mark is the best start to a season from the free throw line in program history.
Rice vs. Memphis
This is the 15th meeting between the two, with the Tigers holding a 9-5 series lead. The Tigers lead the series 5-2 in games played in Memphis. Rice won the most recent meeting a season ago.
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.
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.
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.
