North Texas Sweeps Rice
2/13/2022 4:26:00 PM | Women's Basketball
HOUSTON, Texas – North Texas women's basketball (12-10, 6-6) swept Rice (7-11, 2-8) in the same season for the first time in school history on Sunday. The Mean Green went to Tudor Fieldhouse and pulled out its fourth consecutive C-USA victory, 55-42.
In the first half, Preseason Player of the Year Quincy Noble notched double figures for the 18th time this season. She finished the day with 16 points, shooting 6-of-12 from the floor. Amber Dixon played well off the bench registering eight points and a team-high six rebounds.
On Thursday night, the Mean Green put on a defensive clinic forcing 26 Rice turnovers and holding them to its lowest point total in C-USA play since 2019. Sunday was a bit different with UNT holding Rice to its lowest point total of the entire regular season. North Texas didn't allow Rice to score more than 11 points in a quarter this afternoon.
Next week, the Mean Green will return home for two games as they play FAU (Feb. 17) and have a rematch with UAB (Feb. 19).
QUOTING HEAD COACH JALIE MITCHELL
"I give a lot of credit to our team. They bought in to playing stingy defense and it's worked out well for us. We were very balanced offensively again today and I thought that was huge for us. Looking forward to getting back to work and turning our attention to FAU."
