CANTON, Georgia — Xavier University of Louisiana lost 5-4 Friday to unbeaten Reinhardt in a matchup of top-10 NAIA men's tennis teams.The Gold Rush (11-5) will stay on the road and play NAIA No. 13 Point at 2 p.m. Saturday in Valley, Ala.
Santiago Perez and Ghassan Alansi won in doubles and singles for XULA. Shaikh Abdullah also won in singles.
Mario Belloni Tomas and Jordi Puig won in doubles and singles for the Eagles (10-0).
"This was a great match that we were theoretically two games away from winning," XULA head coach Alan Green said. "If we get those two games it keeps the other guy on the court for a third set, and they were wearing down. But great job by those guys. (Coach) Jennifer (Pourchier) has a great team this year. She has done a great job at Reinhardt."
The Gold Rush are 0-7 in the last 10 seasons against second-ranked NAIA teams. All those matchups occurred on the road.
