Morgan Mauck paced the Blue Raiders with one goal in each of the two games and the freshman has recorded eight points in her 10 starts on the year.
Tori Hawkins notched the other score at UTEP, adding to her impressive run. The senior had zero goals coming into the team's game against WKU and has since scored four in the last seven contests.
Rice enters the C-USA Championship sporting a 10-6-2 overall record and a 6-3-1 mark in conference. The Owls are fresh off of a 4-0 victory over UTSA on Oct. 29.
Rice is ranked first in the league in goals per game (1.83) but sits at eighth in goals against average (1.28).
