“We’re obviously disappointed in the outcome of the championship game, but I refuse to let 40 minutes define our entire season,” said Rice head coach Lindsay Edmonds. “We’ve had an incredible year. We went 17-1 in conference, won 22 straight games, and captured the regular-season championship—something that hasn’t been done here in a very long time. While we’re disappointed, I’m also thankful they feel that way because it shows how much it means. We’ve still had an incredible season.”

The Owls will look to bounce back when they tip off against Louisiana Tech at 7 p.m. Thursday night.
