XULA: 2017 Flickinger Honor Roll has 100-plus qualifiers
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana Athletics honored a school-record 102 students Saturday who qualified for the Sister Grace Mary Flickinger Honor Roll.
Flickinger Honor Roll honorees are athletes, managers, graduate assistants and spirit-squad performers who passed 12 or more hours with a minimum 3.0 grade-point average during the spring 2017 semester or the fall 2017 semester. Students in graduate school must pass six hours. The students were recognized during the XULA-Dillard basketball Crosstown Classic presented by Raising Cane's at the Convocation Center.
"The Sister Grace Mary Flickinger Honor Roll is an accomplishment bigger than any victory in competition," said Director of Athletics & Recreation Jason Horn. "The challenge academically remains a top priority, and we strive to keep our student-athletes on the road toward academic excellence, graduation and productive post-college careers."
This is the fourth year of the awards, previously known as the Athletic Director's Honor Roll but renamed for 2017 to honor a longtime XULA biology faculty member and faculty athletics representative. Flickinger retired from XULA after the 2016-17 academic year.

Gold Nuggets cool off No. 17 DU in Crosstown Classic
NEW ORLEANS — Sophomore Dasia Pitre scored nine of her career-high 19 points in the fourth quarter Saturday to help Xavier University of Louisiana rally for a 75-63 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference women's basketball victory against NAIA No. 17 Dillard in the opening game of the Crosstown Classic presented by Raising Cane's at XULA's Convocation Center.
The Gold Nuggets (11-11, 4-5) earned their fourth consecutive GCAC victory and reached .500 for the first time in more than a month. They snapped the eight-game win streak of the Lady Bleu Devils (21-4, 9-2), who were trying to clinch an outright GCAC regular-season championship.
XULA trailed 42-33 after Shaelynn Moore's 3-pointer for Dillard at 5:33 of the third quarter, then outscored its longtime rival 42-21 thereafter.
Pitre's basket — part of an 11-0 run — put XULA ahead to stay, 53-51, with 8:17 remaining. An Ireyon Keith 3-pointer at 2:32 gave the Gold Nuggets their largest lead, 67-54.
Keith scored 14 points to tie her season high. Gina Smith had 10 points and 11 rebounds — her team-leading third double-double of the season — and Essence Wells scored 10.
Adriiana Jackson scored 20 points, Alyssa Washington 13 and Moore 10 for Dillard. Moore, who scored a career-best 36 points Monday at Tougaloo, was scoreless in the fourth quarter.
XULA shot 36 percent from the floor through three quarters but 43.8 percent in the final period. "That's a key for us," XULA coach Bo Browder said. "If we can continue to shoot 40 percent in the fourth quarter, we'll have a chance to win a lot of games."
An Edward Waters loss at Talladega also would have given Dillard an outright GCAC title, but the Lady Tigers won 63-61 Saturday. Edward Waters could earn a share of the GCAC title by winning its last three games, including next Saturday at home against Dillard.
Browder said he isn't concerned about standings or seedings. "We just have to focus on making good decisions and bringing our energy," he said. "We did that today, and we're hopeful it continues."
XULA will play Philander Smith in a GCAC game at 5:30 p.m. Monday at the Convocation Center.

Dillard tops Gold Rush to swap spots in GCAC again
NEW ORLEANS — Jorori Coleman scored 25 points Saturday to lead Dillard to a 79-65 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference men's basketball victory against NAIA No. 22 Xavier University of Louisiana in the Crosstown Classic presented by Raising Cane's at XULA's Convocation Center.
The Bleu Devils (17-9, 8-3) won for the eighth time in nine games and replaced the Gold Rush (19-7, 6-3) as the GCAC's second-place team. On Monday XULA and DU swapped positions when the Gold Rush won at SUNO and the Bleu Devils lost at Tougaloo.
Both XULA and DU are chasing Talladega, 8-2 in conference after an 80-73 home victory against Edward Waters. Talladega finishes its GCAC schedule at fourth-place Philander Smith next Saturday and at XULA Feb. 28, two days before the GCAC Tournament.
Philander Smith, 5-4 after a 71-70 loss at SUNO, will visit XULA at 7:30 p.m. Monday. XULA's final three games of the regular season are all in conference and all at home.
Dillard used only seven players, and all five starters scored in double figures. Joshua Simmons had 16 points, nine rebounds and six assists, Kristopher Allmon scored 14, and Patrick Thompson and Quinton Jackson scored 11 points apiece.
BOX SCORE
Jalen David scored 17 points, 14 in the second half, for XULA. Virgil Davison scored 12, and Jeff Dixon had 12 points, 10 assists and six rebounds.
Davison made four 3-pointers to join Mark Stewart (2006-07 and 2007-08), Morris Wright (2014-15 and 2015-16) and Percy Bland (1989-90) as the only XULA men to make 70 treys in a season. Davison has 71; Stewart made a school-record 109 in 2006-07.
Coleman, a 6-foot-4 junior, dominated the scoring for the third time in as many Convocation Center appearances this season. During the Xavier Classic in December, he scored 41 against Rust and 32 against Virgin Islands.
Dillard never trailed and led for 39-of-40 minutes. After a tie at 18, Jackson's basket at 10:24 of the first half put the Bleu Devils ahead to stay. It was 32-27 at halftime and 68-52 after a Simmons basket with 4:29 remaining.
Dillard outshot XULA 51 to 43.1 percent from the floor and had a 36-28 rebound advantage. Dillard made 20-of-28 free throws to XULA's 7-of-13.
Dillard defeated the Gold Rush for the sixth straight time to cap a Crosstown Classic where neither top-25 team won. In the opener, XULA's women rallied in the fourth quarter for a 75-63 victory against 17th-ranked Dillard.
Attendance was 2,117 for the men's game and 1,375 for the women's, both season bests on the Rush and Nuggets home schedules.

D3 defending champion Emory shuts out Gold Rush
ATLANTA — Xavier University of Louisiana men's tennis was feisty enough last year to win at NCAA Division III power Emory, but not so Saturday.
The Eagles won every set — including tiebreakers at each of the top three singles flights — in a 9-0 victory indoors.
Emory (2-1) is ranked No. 1 and a defending national champion. The Gold Rush (1-6) are ranked second in the NAIA and was a national runner-up in 2016 and 2017.
In the closest of the three doubles matches, Adrien Bouchet and Max Renke defeatedPierre Andrieu and Chris Anders 8-6 at No. 2. Emory clinched the dual when Jonathan Jemison, the ITA's fourth-ranked D3 player, defeated Catalin Fifea 6-3, 7-6 (7-4) at No. 1 singles. Alec Josepher beat Shaikh Abdullah 7-6 (7-3), 7-5 at No. 2, and Bouchet defeated Samir Chikhaoui 6-1, 7-6 (7-4).
A year ago XULA won 4-of-5 tiebreakers against Emory, and Pierre Andrieu clinched in a 5-4 victory. This time Andrieu lost 6-3, 6-2 to freshman Hayden Cassone.
"Had many chances," XULA coach Alan Green said. "Just did not capitalize on any of them. Emory had a lot to do with that, though."
It was the first time since March 2005 — Green's third season as coach — that the Gold Rush dropped consecutive 9-0 decisions. Friday in the Grizzly Invitational at Lawrenceville, Ga., XULA lost to NAIA No. 1 Georgia Gwinnett by that same score.
XULA will return Sunday to the Grizzly Invitational and play NCAA Division II Bluefield State at 9 a.m. EST.

Xavier to honor Olympian Douglas at Crosstown Classic
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana is bringing back Herb Douglas for another recognition this weekend in celebration of Black History Month.
Douglas — the oldest living African-American Olympic medalist and recipient of an honorary degree from the university in 2011 — is the inaugural winner of the Herb Douglas Award, which celebrates student-athletes whose post-Xavier careers best exemplify the university's mission.
Douglas, who is 95 years old, will be honored at halftime of the XULA-Dillard men's basketball game, part of the Crosstown Classic presented by Raising Cane's. The women's game will start at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Convocation Center (7900 Stroelitz St., zip 70125), followed by the men at 5.
"I really enjoy my talks with Mr. Douglas," said Director of Athletics & Recreation Jason Horn, "and it is great to have him back on campus. He has some solid stories, and our student-athletes will have an opportunity to spend time with him."
Douglas won bronze in the long jump at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London. Six years earlier, Douglas, William Morton, Clarence Doak and Howard Mitchell ran the 440-yard relay in 41.7 seconds to make XULA the first HBCU (historically black college or university) to win a relay race at the famed Penn Relays. Douglas left XULA after his sophomore year to return home and work in his father's business during World War II. He continued to train at home and competed occasionally before winning the 1945 AAU national championship in the long jump. He also won AAU indoor championships in 1947 and 1949.
Douglas, who received bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Pittsburgh in his hometown, had a lengthy career as a business executive. During the 1960s he was named a vice-president for wine and spirits importer Schieffelin & Somerset Co., whose brands include Hennessy, the world's most popular cognac.
Although he is nearly a centenarian, Douglas remains active. He tours the country to screen the documentary "The Renaissance Period of the African American in Sports," which he co-produced with Robert Lott. Douglas and Lott will screen the film Tuesday at the University of Texas in Austin. The film won a gold medal at the 2016 Philadelphia Film Festival.

Marshall Herd Falls 8-1 at Florida A&M
Tallahassee, Florida -- Marshall baseball fell to Florida A&M 8-1 Saturday at Moore-Kittles Field, with 14 runners left on base proving too much to overcome for the Herd.
The first loss of the 2018 season puts Marshall at 1-1, with a chance for revenge against FAMU tomorrow in the series finale.
After a 1-2-3 first inning for both teams, the Rattlers got on the board in the second inning with three runs after two walks and a single loaded the bases for FAMU.
A&M expanded their lead in the fourth inning when Jordan Curtis hit a three-run homer.
Final Stats
In the fifth inning lead-off hitter Shane Hanon got on base with a single. Raul Cabrera was the next batter up and also singled advancing Hanon to second base. After Reynaldo Pastrana earned a base on balls the bases were loaded and Dakota Robbins hit a fly ball to left field to score Hanon from third. A fly out and strikeout brought the inning to a close two batters later.
FAMU scored again in the seventh inning when a wild pitch by Jacob Bradley allowed a runner on third base to reach home.
The final run would come courtesy of Florida A&M in the eighth inning when a single by FAMU's Brian Davis allowed Jordan Curtis to score from second base.
Tucker Linder continued the strong start to his season getting three hits in four at bats. Peter Hutzal earned three walks over the course of the game. Marshall ended the game with eight hits and ten walks.
Brad O'Connor was handed his first loss of the season in four innings pitched. He allowed four hits, six runs (six earned) and struck out six batters. Christian Simon had a strong showing in two innings, allowing just two hits and striking out three batters in eight at-bats.
FAMU pitcher Josh Barr earned the win for the Rattlers. He pitched 0.2 innings allowing two hits, one run (earned) and walking one batter with no strikeouts.
The series will come to an end Sunday at 11 a.m. Marshall's Will Ray will be on the mound to pitch as he faces off against FAMU's Dallas Oliver.

LANDOVER, Maryland – The North Carolina A&T State men won the 2018 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) indoor track & field championship on Saturday in the Prince George’s Sports & Learning Complex, thanks to a dominating performance.
Despite coming into the final day trailing, the Aggies won five titles on Saturday to record 144 points and take the crown for the second year in a row. Hampton finished second with 108 points.
Duane Ross was named the meet’s Outstanding Coach for the second year in a row.
By sweeping both the men’s and women’s indoor titles, North Carolina A&T State becomes the first MEAC school to repeat in both the men and women since Delaware State in 1987.

Michael Dickson ran a 7.85 to win the 60-meter hurdles, while Lasheon Strozier won the triple jump, leaping 49 feet, 6.5 inches to take gold.
Demek Kemp of South Carolina State, who came into the meet ranked in the top five in the nation in the 60-meter dash, held true to form in exciting fashion, running a 6.65 to edge out the Aggies’ Jaylan Mitchell – who ran a 6.66.
Rowe was third with a 6.74.
Too was named the meet’s Outstanding Runner, while Bethune-Cookman’s Jeremiah Peters was named Outstanding Field Performer. Peters won the shot put with a mark of 54 feet, 5.25 inches.
Dominic Harper gave Bethune-Cookman another field title on Saturday, clearing 15 feet in the pole vault to take gold.
Anteneh Girma of Norfolk State ran an 8:52.13 to win the 3,000-meter run, his second title of the meet.
