Rain postpones XU Rush, Belhaven until 8:30 a.m. Thursday

MOBILE, Alabama -- Rain forced the postponement of Xavier University of Louisiana's men's tennis dual Wednesday against Belhaven in the second round of the NAIA National Championship.

The ninth-ranked Gold Rush (12-11) and the eighth-ranked Blazers (16-4) will meet at 8:30 a.m. Thursday at Copeland-Cox Mobile Tennis Center. All eight men's duals were pushed back to that time.

In the first round on Tuesday, Xavier defeated Hastings 8-1, and Belhaven had a bye.

The Xavier-Belhaven winner will play the Embry-Riddle (Fla.)-Coastal Georgia winner at 5 p.m. Thursday in the quarterfinals. Embry-Riddle is the defending champion.

Sandwiched between the men's rounds will be the four women's quarterfinals matches at noon. Xavier's top-ranked women will play Northwood (Fla.), which is ranked ninth.

The rain began at approximately 12:15 p.m. and continued most of the afternoon.
