Cajuns sweep XULA, but Goreau dominates in singles win

LAFAYETTE, Louisiana — Xavier University of Louisiana's Charlene Goreau defeated Louisiana-Lafayette's Elena Sava 6-1, 6-0 Saturday, clearly the highlight for the Gold Nuggets in two women's tennis dual-match losses to NCAA Division I Louisiana-Lafayette.

The Ragin' Cajuns defeated XULA, ranked 10th in the NAIA, 4-0 and 4-1. The Gold Nuggets are 0-4, with three of the defeats against NCAA DI opponents.

Though she didn't win her match, Mariia Borodii — a freshman in her first day of competition for XULA — led Floriane Picaut 6-4, 6-5 at No. 1 singles when the Cajuns (6-0) clinched the second dual.

The Gold Nuggets will be on the road three times next week: 2:30 p.m. Thursday at Southern Miss, 3 p.m. Friday against Grambling in a neutral-site competition at Baton Rouge, La., then noon Saturday at NAIA No. 9 LSU-Alexandria.

Alan Green needs two victories to reach 200 in his career as coach of the Gold Nuggets. Green reached 200 with the men when the Gold Rush defeated city rival Loyola this past weekend.

Results:  Dual 1   •   Dual 2
