Trench triple-double leads Nuggets in rout of SUNO

NEW ORLEANS — Maya Trench's first triple-double for Xavier University of Louisiana — 11 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists — led the Gold Nuggets to a 76-40 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference women's basketball victory Monday against SUNO.

Trench, a 5-foot-2 sophomore point guard, recorded career highs in rebounds and assists. She also had four steals. Trench had 12 first-half rebounds, two fewer than SUNO.

Trench's triple-double is the Gold Nuggets' first since Delanor Junis had 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists against Southern on Nov. 28, 1988, and the fourth in the program's history. Dematria Lang (1986) and Datcel Kemp (1983) produced the first two.

The Gold Nuggets (8-10, 1-5) snapped a five-game losing streak. It was their first home game in six weeks.

Mikayla Bates had 13 points, six assists and three steals for XULA, and Ireyon Keith had 11 points.
Talaih Robertson scored 10 points for SUNO (5-11, 1-5), which has lost five straight and eight of its last nine games.
