Nuggets move to 5-0 in GCAC; Dillard visits Saturday

Xavier University of Louisiana women's basketballTOUGALOO, Mississippi — Jas Hill's 17 points and Da'Jha Virgil's career-high 13 led Xavier University of Louisiana to a 79-43 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference women's basketball victory Monday against Tougaloo.
     
The Gold Nuggets (15-5, 5-0) outscored a GCAC opponent by double digits in both halves for the first time since Feb. 20, 2012.
     
Virgil scored all her points, including 3-of-3 3-pointers, in the first half, and Hill had 12 to lead XULA to a 44-23 halftime advantage. It was Virgil's first game in double figures. The halftime lead was the Gold Nuggets' largest on an opponent's floor since Nov. 22, 2016.
    
Nina German, playing near her hometown of Jackson, scored 10 points for XULA. Maya Trench had nine points and four assists, Nahrie Pierce had eight points and seven rebounds, and Mikayla Bates had six rebounds and four steals.
     
Bates became the 25th Gold Nugget to reach 200 career steals. She has 202 and is tied for 22nd place with Brandi Young (2008-12) and Sheleen Jones (1986-90). In 21st place is Jasmine Grant — now an assistant coach at XULA — with 204.
     
Rashonae Rice and Ashia Clayton scored 11 points apiece for the Lady Bulldogs (3-10, 0-6), who dropped their sixth in a row.
     
XULA outshot Tougaloo 42.4 to 25 percent from the floor. The Lady Bulldogs shot 18.9 percent in the second half. XULA committed 12 turnovers, 15 fewer than it did Saturday in a home victory against Edward Waters.
     
XULA shares first place in the conference with Dillard, which will visit the Gold Nuggets at 3 p.m. Saturday in the Crosstown Classic at the Convocation Center. It's the first time since 2013-14 that the XULA women won their first five GCAC games. Dillard won GCAC regular-season and tournament championships a year ago.

Gold Rush fall by 3 to NAIA's No. 10 team

Xavier University of Louisiana men's basketballTOUGALOO, Miss. — Xavier University of Louisiana reduced a 15-point second-half deficit to two Monday before dropping a 67-64 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference men's basketball decision to NAIA No. 10 Tougaloo.
     
Jeff Dixon scored 16 points, Galen Smith 13 and Rayshawn Mart 11 for the Gold Rush (11-9, 2-3). Smith grabbed nine rebounds, Ahmed Coulibaly eight and Mart six.
     
Tonzell Handy had 21 points and 11 rebounds for the Bulldogs (17-2, 6-0), who won their 10th in a row, and Datavian Porter, Stanley Williams and Dearius Griffin scored 10 points apiece. Handy's double-double was his 15th this season.
     
XULA will play Dillard at 5 p.m. Saturday in the Crosstown Classic at XULA's Convocation Center. Dillard is 4-1 in the GCAC after losing 81-78 at home Monday to Philander Smith on Jaylon Bardley's 3-pointer at the buzzer. Tougaloo is the only men's team with no GCAC losses.
     
XULA led 6-1 after three minutes, but Tougaloo took the lead for good in the 11th minute when Kourey Davis made 1-of-2 free throws for a 15-14 advantage. The Bulldogs led 35-27 at halftime and 62-47 after Williams made a pair of free throws.
     
XULA rallied — including an Anfernee King 3-pointer and a Mart 3-point play — to make it 65-63 with 2:20 remaining, then missed three free throws and had another negated by a lane violation. The Gold Rush missed three 3-pointers in the final 38 seconds, including Dixon's attempt at the buzzer.
     
The Gold Rush are 6-4 this season in games decided by four points or fewer and 2-6 against ranked NAIA opponents.
     
Both teams shot 36 percent from the floor. XULA had a 44-36 rebound advantage, but Tougaloo again dominated at the line — making 23-of-34 free throws to the Gold Rush's 11-of-20 — to complete a two-game regular-season sweep of XULA for the first time since the 2008-09 season. Tougaloo won 96-84 at XULA two weeks earlier.
