Gold Nuggets will play Jackson State on Sunday, too

Xavier senior Loic Didavi, the 2012 Louisiana Player of the Year, played
his final home dual this past Saturday. Here he receives a hug from his coach,
Alan Green, prior to that dual against Auburn Montgomery.

NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's women's tennis team has added Jackson State to its schedule. They'll play at noon Sunday at the JSU Tennis Complex in Jackson, Miss.

Xavier's men already were scheduled to play Jackson State at the same time and location.

The dual matches will be the last of the regular season for the Gold Nuggets and the Gold Rush. Both will compete next Friday in an NAIA unaffiliated group qualifying tournament at Jonesboro, Ga.

Winners of the two-day event will receive automatic bids to next month's NAIA National Championships.

On Sunday, the XU women will seek their sixth consecutive victory — they would match their longest streak since the first half of the 2010 season — and the XU men will seek their ninth victory in their last 12 duals. The Gold Nuggets (13-7) are ranked sixth in the NAIA, and the Gold Rush (11-7) are eighth. New coaches polls will be announced Tuesday afternoon.
