Nuggets, winner of 31 of last 36, hold steady at No. 3

NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana women's tennis remained third Tuesday in the sixth NAIA coaches poll of the season.
     
The Gold Nuggets, 15-4 this season and winner of 31 of their last 36 dual matches, are No. 3 for the ninth consecutive poll. That streak began April 24, 2018. It's the Gold Nuggets' 63rd consecutive appearance in the top 25 and their 108th all-time.
     
XULA was 3-0, all against ranked opponents, since the previous poll March 26. The Gold Nuggets are 9-0 this season against top-25 teams.
     
The Gold Nuggets will not compete this week but will play three straight days on the road April 18-20 to close the regular season. Coach Alan Green said Tuesday that an April 18 match at No. 11 Mobile has been added to the schedule. Already set were matches in Pensacola, Fla., against No. 2 Keiser and West Florida, 22nd-ranked in NCAA Division II.
     
XULA will not play in a conference or unaffiliated group end-of-season tournament for the fifth consecutive year, but the Gold Nuggets are expected to earn an at-large bid to the NAIA National Championship tournament, which will begin May 14 in Mobile, Ala. Qualifiers will be announced April 29, and the 24-team bracket will be revealed April 30.

No. 7 Rush make 71st consecutive top-10 appearance


NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana men's tennis extended its NAIA-best streak and maintained its No. 7 ranking Tuesday in the sixth coaches poll of the season.
     
XULA's active streak of 101 consecutive top-25 appearances is the longest in NAIA men's tennis. The streak began April 4, 2007. XULA also made its 71st consecutive top-10 appearance, extending a streak that began May 3, 2011.
     
The Gold Rush (13-6) were 3-2 since the previous poll, including 5-4 road losses at Reinhardt and Point — both are in the new top five — and a 5-4 home victory Saturday against William Carey, which dropped from sixth to eighth.
     
Point climbed from 13th to fifth. Reinhardt (12-0) remained second for the third consecutive poll. But everyone's still chasing Georgia Gwinnett (20-0), the five-time defending national champion and a unanimous No. 1 for the 43rd straight poll.
     
The Gold Rush will not compete this week but will play three straight days on the road April 18-20 to close the regular season. First of the three matches will be at No. 15 Mobile, followed by matches in Pensacola, Fla., against No. 6 Keiser and West Florida, 10th-ranked in NCAA Division II.
     
XULA will not play in a conference or unaffiliated group end-of-season tournament for the fifth consecutive year, but the Gold Rush are expected to earn an at-large bid to the NAIA National Championship tournament, which will begin May 14 in Mobile, Ala. Qualifiers will be announced April 29, and the 24-team bracket will be revealed April 30.
