Soccer Seniors Strive to Win WAC Championship
The founding members of Rice’s women’s soccer team set goals for themselves when they launched their collegiate careers in 2001. One of those goals was to win the WAC championship, but two years in a row the Owls suffered a defeat to Southern Methodist University and had to settle for second place in the conference.

Athletes Named to Academic All-America Teams
Two Rice athletes—baseball’s Wade Townsend and track and field’s Adam Davis—were named the 2004 CoSIDA Academic All-America of the Year in their respective sports, the highest award that honors both academic excellence and athletic achievement.
