Rice's Scoring Forward with Clutch Reliability
In the 2022-23 season, Ashlee Austin started 28 of 30 games for Rice Owls, leading the team with 12.1 PPG (363 total points), 4.5 RPG, and a sharp 46.8% FG while shooting 77.9% FT; her senior leadership shone in high-stakes wins like 21 points and 9 boards in double-OT vs. Houston and 16 at Texas A&M. A versatile forward with rebounding tenacity and defensive chops (27 steals, 13 blocks), she's a proven double-double threat (one 16-10 gem) ideal for teams needing immediate scoring punch and battle-tested poise—no injury flags, pure reliability.
