C-USA Cross-Country Championships are this Saturday in Charlotte. I'll try posting a more complete preview later. The Rice women, if at full strength, should battle Middle Tennessee's Kenyans for the team title.

For the men, UTEP has the talent to finish among the top 10 in the nation, but they have little quality after their top 5. The Miners should win, with Middle Tennessee in 2nd. Rice, North Texas, Charlotte, and perhaps Marshall will contest for 3rd.

Terrific Fall season for Rice women's sports: cross country, soccer and volleyball. One conference championship in the bag, two more on the plate.

That is not just a win. That is pretty close to domination. 48-89

Apparently the score we won with last year as well.

Congrats ladies!

Today's football game might have a similar score.

Congrats ladies for the landslide win! 2nd in a row!

Great win by the ladies. Maybe they should run for the men's team too.:)
