NEW ORLEANS — For the second time this season, Xavier University of Louisiana's home volleyball match against Tougaloo has been postponed.Transportation issues Monday afternoon prevented Tougaloo from traveling to XULA. The match has been rescheduled for 3:30 p.m. Nov. 1 at the Convocation Center, and it will become a lead-in to the XULA men's basketball home opener against Carver at 7 that evening. Admission will be free to the volleyball makeup.
\Tougaloo was first scheduled to visit XULA Sept. 4, but the match was scrapped due to the approach of Tropial Storm Gordon in the Gulf of Mexico. XULA and Tougaloo have yet to play each other this season; the teams are tied for first place in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference with 8-0 records.
XULA's final two regular-season matches will be against Tougaloo. The Gold Nuggets will visit Tougaloo at 1 p.m. Nov. 4.
The postponement is XULA's third this season. An Oct. 6 GCAC match at SUNO was scrubbed — SUNO didn't have enough healthy players — but was played four days later.
Next match for the Gold Nuggets (18-6) will start at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Convocation Center against GCAC member Rust. It will be XULA's first home match since Sept. 17.
