"We got beat up on the boards really bad," XULA coach Bo Browder said. "I liked our team's effort the first two quarters. In the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter, I did not like the effort."
    

North Texas outshot XULA 43.4 to 34.1 percent from the floor. Both teams struggled at the line, with the Mean Green making 10-of-20 free throws and the Gold Nuggets making 9-of-20. XULA made seven of its first 10 free throws, then made two of its last 10.

Kendrick repeats as Louisiana Coach of the Year

Xavier University of Louisiana women's volleyball NEW ORLEANS — It's a trifecta and a repeat for Xavier University of Louisiana's Pat Kendrick.
     

Kendrick earned her third coach-of-the-year award of the 2018 volleyball season when the Louisiana Sports Writers Association announced its All-Louisiana team Sunday morning. Kendrick has won Louisiana Coach of the Year in both her XULA seasons.
     

Kendrick — who led the Gold Nuggets to a 26-7 record, Gulf Coast Athletic Conference regular-season and tournament championships and a berth in the NAIA National Championship tournament — was chosen by an LSWA panel of college volleyball publicists. Kendrick won in a 9-6 vote against Tulane's Jim Barnes, who led the Green Wave to a 29-9 record and the final round of the National Invitational Championship.
    

 Previously Kendrick was named GCAC and AVCA NAIA Southeast Region Coach of the Year.
     

XULA's Kayla Black was voted All-Louisiana for the second consecutive season, this time on the first team, and was the No. 2 vote-getter. Eva Le Guillou made the second team and was the only setter honored.
     

Vivica Price-Spraggins earned honorable mention. Beatrice Formilan was runner-up for Freshman of the Year.
     

Black became the third XULA volleyball athlete to earn All-Louisiana multiple times. She joined Taylor Reuther (2011, 2012, 2013) and Juliana Tomasoni (2016, 2017).
