Women's cross wins NCAA Regional Championship
· Last Saturday was a historic day for the women's cross country team. Going up against one of the best teams in the nation, the 10th-ranked University of Arkansas, Rice pulled out its first-ever victory at the NCAA South Central Regional Championships. The Owls edged the Razorbacks 54 to 70 to gain an automatic bid to the NCAA Cross Country Championships in Terre Haute, Ind., next Monday.
Owls muster consecutive comebacks, take down SMU
· If this season is any indicator, the football team should only schedule opponents on their homecoming weekends. After yet another fourth-quarter comeback, Rice defeated Southern Methodist University by a score of 43-42 last Saturday in Dallas, Texas. The win, which came on a last-second field goal by sophomore kicker Clark Fangmeier, spoiled the Mustangs' homecoming and was the Owls' second in as many weeks.
Soccer falls to UCF in C-USA semifinals
· For the first time in school history, the soccer team lost a match in the Conference USA Tournament. Granted, Rice has only been in C-USA since 2005, but still, the Owls' 1-0 semifinal loss to the University of Central Florida was a hard one to deal with.
Vision for the next century? How about men's soccer?
· I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I'm pretty blessed when it comes to my sports teams. Take last weekend for example. Ohio State's football team finally realized that it's not 2006 anymore and folded like a lawn chair against a measly Illinois squad.
