These ladies deserve a great crowd tonight:

- Ranked #24 in the National Coaches Poll
- Undefeated in CUSA
- Have outscored opponents 3:1 this season
- Have not given up any points in the last five games

Tonight is Senior night. These seniors won a conference championship as freshmen and are looking for more this year.

The game is at 7 pm.

Shutout streak over. Tied 1-1 about 15 mins in.

GOAL! Jenkins, in 23rd minute.

Another goal. 3-1.

Nice touch to have the numbers of the seniors at centerfield.

PK for MTSU. 3-2.

Header from Rice, leads 4-2.

4-2 final. Still undefeated in conference.

Nice crowd tonight. Biggest of the season, I think.

Nice job! Hope to catch them up in Denton for the regular season finale.

If we win out, perhaps we'd have a chance to host a first round game?

Good game and great crowd. The stands was almost full. It was a real physical game. There were two yellow cards for MTSU but Rice was just too athletic.

Congrats to the seniors. Looks like the final 3 regular season games are at the top 3 teams in the league outside of Rice, so it's a decent challenge to close out the season.

What's the format of the NCAA tournament again? How many teams make it, and how many hosts in the opening rounds?

RPI at #40 with the win.

LA Tech.has an inflated RPI. Our three toughest conference matches are in front of us.

We win and our RPI goes down. what a bunch of crap.

Huh? Rice's RPI the previous week was #44.

Although there is nothing inherently wrong with a ranking algorithm that drops a team after a win, RPI is a terrible ranking algorithm.

Rice is in the "others considered" for the Top Drawer rankings.
