CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Charlotte women's basketball started slow, recovered but never unable to complete the comeback in dropping a 55-52 decision to Rice Saturday evening inside Halton Arena. Despite the setback, the 49ers are still in a three-way tie for first in the Conference USA race and hold the league's best overall record.
