Is Rice supposed to be good?

They were ranked as high as #7 in the Nation last season. Don’t know for sure where they were ranked pre-season this year, but yes, Rice’s Soccer program is typically good.

Believe this is only the 2nd time we’ve beaten them in the history of our Soccer program. Will have to double check that.

Exhibition game. Just a spring game - similar to volleyball (or fall baseball). Stats and results don’t matter. Rice leads the all-time series 9-4-3. Rice started off the year pretty solid in the fall (and was a Sweet 16 team the year before in the NCAA’s), but they didn’t even make the NCAA’s this past season due to injuries.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. Was searching all over the internet for more info the day of, but sadly, the link I posted above was all I could find at the time. We have some good home games lined up this season, looking fwd to attending some.
