Sunday Funday
The Owls close their two-game homestand Sunday morning against Tulsa. Rice heads on the road Thursday night to face UTSA.
Last Time Out
The Owls offense powered past Temple 5-1 last Thursday night at Holloway Field. Lauren Pickup, Valentina Labuschagne, Sloane Popov, Dayo Tennyson and Sophie Zhang all scored for Rice, with Neerali Kapadia adding three assists.
250 in the Books
During Rice's 3-0 win over UL-Monroe, the Owls secured the program's 250th win, which began with a 3-2 win over Army in the team's inaugural game on Aug. 31, 2001.
Weekly Honors (9-14)
A pair of Owls earn conference honors this week, with Sloane Popov being named the American Conference Freshman and Offensive Player of the Week, while Kirsten Ruf was named the American Conference Goalkeeper of the Week.
Rice vs. Tulsa
This is the 21st meeting all-time between the two schools, with Rice holding a 13-7 series lead. Rice and Tulsa last met in the American Tournament quarterfinals, with Eileen Albers' game-winning goal giving the Owls the win.
A Historic Tie
Rice earned a historic 1-1 draw at the reigning national champion, No. 15 Florida State on Sept. 6. Rice became the first non-Power 4 team to earn a result against FSU since Santa Clara during the 2020-21 season. Florida State is now 33-1-5 in non-conference games since the middle of the 2019 non-conference season. This marked Rice's first result against a ranked opponent since a 1-0 win at No. 5 West Virginia in the NCAA Tournament (March 1, 2021).
Preseason Honors
Three Owls represented Rice on the American Conference Preseason Watch List, with Jadyn Jaeger, Lilly Reuscher and Dayo Tennyson all receiving honors. The Owls were picked third in the preseason coaches poll.
Welcome to *OUR* House
The Owls have defended Holloway Field fiercely as of late, going 15-4-4 at home over the last three seasons. Rice has a 146-61-25 all-time home record.
National Recognition
Lilly Reuscher was named to the 2026 United Soccer Coaches Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy Watch List. Reuscher was an All-Conference Third Team selection last year, contributing to five shutouts by the Owl defense, and also earned Second Team All-Region honors.
