TEXAS TECH TRAVELS TO FINAL TOURNAMENT AT RICE Texas Tech travels to its final tournament of the season this weekend as the Red Raiders head to Houston for the Rice Invitational that begins Friday afternoon at Tudor Fieldhouse. The Red Raiders will face Houston Baptist, Cal State Northridge, and the host Owls during the two-day tournament. TOWSON SNAPS TEXAS TECH’S SEASON-OPENING WINNING STREAK Texas Tech’s loss to Towson last weekend to start the Montana tournament snapped an eight-match winning streak to start the season for the Red Raiders, who were off to their best start since 2003. The Red Raiders had started a season with eight-straight victories only seven times previously in school history. Tech also opened the 2011 season with a solid start as the Red Raiders were 13-1 with the only loss coming in the season opener at TCU. The Red Raiders would match that start by winning all three contests this weekend.
