Owls lead 2-1 at the half. The women gave up an early goal, but rebounded with two scores.
UH is leading #14 UCF 1-0 late in their match. We remain the only team to have beaten them this year.
Still 2-1 Rice at 63:23 mark. We just caught up with them in shots, and have one more SOG.
Still 2-1 Rice @ 756:04. Neither team has taken a shot in the last 10 minutes.

I think if I was playing soccer for 13 hours straight (in the altitude no less), I'd be exhausted. I can't say that I blame them for not taking any shots after 746 minutes in the second half.
Still 2-1 @ 85:32 mark. Rice has gone over 20 minutes without taking a shot.
Rice wins 2-1 without taking a shot the final 25+ minutes.
In other sports, this might be considered playing to not lose.
Rice on the short end of a 2-1 score today, losing in overtime at Penn to close out the non-conference schedule. It would have been a nice win over a decent Penn team. We were down 1-0 and scored a late goal to send it to overtime. But a penalty set up a free kick and eventual Penn game-winner.
Looks like we dont play aggressive and rely on our defense?
