Travis Curson completed his fifth season as an assistant coach for Rice soccer during the 2024 campaign.
During the 2024 season, Curson helped guide the Owls to a nine-game win improvement from the previous season, securing 12 wins on the season, the fifth-most wins for Rice in program history. The Owls also had their first AAC Tournament trip and AAC Tournament game victory with a 2-0 win over UAB in the AAC Quarterfinals. The staff's efforts on the season earned them the AAC Coaching Staff of the Year award.
