Soccer added a pretty good transfer in Serena Pham of Alabama. She had two assists against Rice in a 2-1 Alabama win over Rice in the fall of 2019.

Interestingly, Pham has already played her 2020-21 season for Alabama (the SEC played soccer in the fall - maybe they are playing some matches in the spring too?). She had 2 goals on the season in SEC games this past year. She does have to sit out the spring as a transfer and will be able to play in the fall for Rice.

I figure it's worth noting why since most people would have assumed Covid otherwise.

Quote:"This was collaborative decision with the McNeese coaches, administration and officials that one area of the field was unplayable to the point of risking player safety," (Rice) coach (Brian) Lee said. "We appreciate the professionalism of the officials and McNeese staff, and wish them good luck this spring and to the community that continues with hurricane recovery efforts."

There is no result. By NCAA rule a Division I soccer game must reach at least the 70th minute to be an official contest. The match will not be rescheduled. Owl head coach Brian Lee, with more than 25 years experience as a Division I head coach, provided a statement.

Quote:...after three different players went down with injuries on the same side of the field, the game was called off due to poor field conditions.
...

The McNeese coaching staff and facility department have worked tirelessly to get the field in playing shape since hurricanes Laura and Delta caused severe damage to the area.

“We’ve worked diligently to get the north end of the field ready for play and felt good about it,” said Cowgirls’ head coach Drew Fitzgerald. “Rice warmed up on that side of the field and the referees checked it as well and gave it a green light. But within 10 minutes (of play) there were three injuries all on that sport of the field. After discussing it with the referees and with (Rice head coach) Brian (Lee), we decided it was in the best interest to call the game with the safety of the players our main concern.”
...

“It’s too early to say what the plan is,” said Fitzgerald about future home games. “We’ll get with our facility department about our field while also exploring other local fields to play.
