They are at half, tied with no score.

Still no score with only20 min to play.

Rice scores at the 75 minute mark. 1-0

1-0 final. 4-0 in conference. Third straight shut out.

They win!!!

Squeeker, but quality win on road....and 3rd consecutive shutout.

Also, Charlotte lost to UTEP on Friday, so Rice is in sole possession of first place.

Great job and wins by the Lady Owls. Go watch them play and see a quality team at work.

FTR, this Lady Owls' Sunday soccer win was at Southern Mississippi, who dropped to 6-5-1 overall and 0-3-1 in conference. WTG, Rice!!

UTSA's ranking ?

UTSA is #225. It looks like our RPI will fall at least 10 more places next week even is we win both games. Nothing we can do about that, we just have to keep winning.

I think an RPI in the top 50 would be excellent. I believe we will be upset by someone before the year is out and it will hurt our RPI since Conf USA is terrible. I think we will have to play a tough non-conference schedule every year like this year, like baseball, to have a Top 25 to 50 RPI in the future. On a side note. The South Miss soccer facilities looked terrible on TV. Were they?

Ooops. Sorry. I missed that one. Mea culpa. I'll edit to include it now.

Thanks for the alert!

Eh?

What translator are you using?

Romanian of course.

So is soccer our highest rated women's sport now, even more so than tennis?

Highest rated of all sports accept maybe tennis.

Rice is up to #3 in the South Region Coaches Poll and #29 in the national Top 25 Coaches Poll (based on counting "others receiving votes").
