The Knights have three players with double-digit points. Juniors Tishia Jewell and Nicolette Radovocic, along with senior Stacie Hubbard, combine for 43 points. The Knights will face Rice (8-4-2) on Friday, and Houston (4-10) on Sunday, as both matches are on the road in Houston.

Following the road trip the Knights will play their final two home games of the regular season on Oct. 21 against UAB and Oct. 23 against No.7 ranked Memphis.
