A XULA 1st: Black earns All-America honorable mention
Black, an outside hitter from Spring, Texas, and a graduate of St. Pius X High School in Houston, set XULA season marks in 2018 with 407 kills, 3.84 kills per set and 23 matches of 10-or-more kills. Black also produced 28 aces, 299 digs, 22 blocks and 18 assists. She hit .259, 21 points higher than a year ago. Black played in all 33 matches and in 106-of-112 sets.
The Gold Nuggets were 26-7 this season and 14-0 in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference. For the eighth consecutive year they won GCAC regular-season and tournament championships and qualified automatically for the NAIA National Championship tournament.
On Tuesday Black was announced as the first XULA sophomore to be chosen first-team all-region. Black's other honors this season included GCAC Player of the Year and Attacker of the Year and GCAC Tournament MVP.
The NAIA's All-America list consists of 14 players apiece on the first, second and third teams. It is headed by Nada Meawad of national champion Park, a sophomore outside hitter who was named Player of the Year.

Nuggets receive votes in 1st regular-season ranking
The Gold Nuggets are 9-3 after a 60-57 home victory Monday against Mobile to give them their second four-game win streak this season. XULA's most notable victories were 59-47 Friday at Southeastern Louisiana — the Nuggets' first victory since 2007 against an NCAA Division I opponent — and 67-64 at home Nov. 6 against city rival Loyola, ranked 17th in the preseason poll.
The Gulf Coast Athletic Conference, of which XULA is a member, made one of its best showings in the poll in recent years. For the first time since March 9, 2016, the GCAC has two top-25 teams — Talladega is 15th, Dillard 25th — and three GCAC teams received points for the first time since Oct. 25, 2016.
It's the first time since Jan. 21, 2014, that three GCAC teams received points in a regular-season poll.
The Gold Nuggets will begin semester exams Wednesday. They will resume their schedule at 2 p.m. Dec. 15 at Louisiana-Lafayette.
For the first time in five years, the No. 1 team in the preseason is No. 1 in the first regular-season poll. That's Vanguard (7-0), which received 7-of-9 first-place votes and edged defending champion Freed-Hardeman (9-0) by five points. Wayland Baptist (6-0) is third.
