The Gold Nuggets' Charlene Goreau and Farah Baklouti defeated Patricia Perez and Patricia Martinez 8-0 in the lone doubles match. In singles, Mariia Borodii beat Miljana Milojevic 8-3 — that was a matchup of NAIA All-Americans from 2018 — Yi Chen Pao beat Katheryne Campos 8-1, and Lacee Ancar defeated Marie Cool 8-2.
The event's modified duals — four singles matches and one doubles match — will count only for individual season statistics. Intercollegiate Tennis Association rules require dual matches to consist of six singles matches and three doubles matches.XULA was 3-1 as a team in the modified duals. On Saturday the Gold Nuggets defeated Jackson State and city rival Loyola and lost to Southeastern Louisiana. Individually, all five XULA players finished 3-1 for the weekend.
It was XULA's first event of the fall semester. Next for the Gold Nuggets and Gold Rush will be the HBCU National Championships Sept. 20-22 at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Fla.
