-- Xavier University of Louisiana got a singles victory from sophomore Adam Albrecht in a 5-1 men's tennis loss Friday at Troy.
Albrecht scored the lone point for the Gold Rush (9-4) when he defeated Calum McKinlay 6-4, 6-3 at the fifth flight. Xavier didn't win any other sets, although Manav Chakma trailed Cyprian Owczarz 7-6 (7-4), 5-5 at No. 6 when the dual ended.
The Trojans (16-5), ranked 62nd in NCAA Division I, clinched when Hassan Ndayishimye beat Kyle Montrel 7-5, 6-2 at No. 1 singles.
"We played good," said XU coach Alan Green, whose team lost 6-1 at Troy a year ago.
Montrel suffered his first doubles loss of the season when Ndayishimye and Gabriel Dias defeated Montrel and Nikita Soifer 6-0. Montrel entered 12-0, 8-0 with Soifer. Soifer's nine-match win streak ended.
Another streak-breaker was Andy Lau and Austin Racine's 6-3 victory against Chakma and Tushar Mandlekar, who had won their previous nine decisions.
Xavier, ranked sixth in the NAIA, will remain in Troy and play Columbus State -- ranked sixth in NCAA Division II -- at 10 a.m. Saturday, one hour earlier than originally announced.
