Houston Roundball Review Archive: November 2006 Owls' Williams Talks After Blowout win over Sam Houston

Monday, November 20, 2006

The roller coaster ride that is the 2006-2007 Rice women's basketball team continued Monday night at Autry Court versus Sam Houston State.

The Owls began the season with three straight victories; followed by poor showings in two straight losses; now, Rice is winning again.

Rice defeated the Lady Kats 91 to 48; and, the game wasn't even that close as the Owls led by 50 points during the game.

Rice's sophomore post Emery Carter scored 20 points in her first career start.

The Owls forced 31 turnovers and picked up 18 steals. The Owls dominated on both ends of the floor, shooting 53.5 percent from the field while Sam Houston State (3-3) shot only 25.8 percent.

Following the game, after two losses, Owls' head coach Greg Williams said the team "...needed to get a win..."

The Owls (4-2) return to action Friday at 7 pm, hosting 10th-ranked Texas A&M at Autry Court.
