HOUSTON – Senior Nicole Lennon brings fire, energy, and leadership to the Rice Owls. “What I really appreciate about her is that she really knows how to celebrate the game,” said head coach Genny Volpe. Lennon’s leadership on the court is obvious, but coach Volpe said her leadership off the court is just as important. “My goal for myself, always, is just to be the best possible leader and supporter for my team and my teammates,” Lennon said. “For overall team chemistry, having good relationships together transfers onto the court in how we play,” Lennon said.
