HOUSTON -- After nearly two weeks away from home, the Rice Owls returned home to Houston on Friday evening following a road trip to Australia and an extended stay out of town because of Hurricane Harvey.
The Owls, who lost to Stanford in the Sydney Cup on Aug. 26, were scheduled to return home on Monday but couldn't because of Harvey, which ravaged the Houston area with catastrophic flooding and record rainfall, shutting down both major airports in the process.
Rice stayed in Fort Worth and headquartered at TCU the last several days, practicing and working out until the team could get back to Houston.
