Rogers clutch down stretch for Rice


Zoe Rogers is another young lady from the area I've watched since before she was in middle school and here she is, a senior in college. Her performance last night down the stretch brought back old memories as she did  some of the same things so many times while she was at Bellaire HS After tying the game with a turn around jumper with 5:35, she added both ends of a one and one a couple of minutes later, 39-37, and then another free throw with under two minutes remaining, 40-37
Megan Palmer
Nakachi Maduka sealed the 43-41 victory nailing two free throws with .10 seconds remaining as she led the Owls with 12 points, followed by Rogers 10 and  Christal Porter pulled down a career high 14 rebounds. The Owls were without C-USA Freshman Of the Week Megan Palmer who took a hard fall earlier this week however she'll be back next week when the Owls host Lamar. UTSA was led by Simone Young's 12 points and Whitney Wright's 13 rebounds
