Gold Nuggets headed to nationals for 8th straight year
The Gold Nuggets (17-5) qualified for nationals for the eighth consecutive year, the 11th time in 12 years and the 13th time overall.
The final pretournament step — the NAIA's announcement of the bracket and seedings — will occur Tuesday. The five-day tournament will begin May 14 at Copeland-Cox Mobile Tennis Center in Mobile, Ala.
The XULA women are 11-1 this season against top-25 teams and closed their regular season with a 4-3 victory April 20 at West Florida, then ranked No. 15 in NCAA Division II and currently 14th. Neither XULA team played in an end-of-season conference or unaffiliated group qualifying tournament.
The top eight seeds will receive first-round byes and play their first matches May 15. The XULA women, No. 3 in every coaches poll this season, are expected to receive a bye, same as they did in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018.
The Gold Nuggets reached the national semifinals in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2018. That 2013 team was the first in any XULA sport to reach the semifinals of an NAIA national tournament.
This is the eighth consecutive year and the 10th time in 11 years that both XULA tennis teams qualified for nationals. The XULA men received their school-record 11th consecutive bid to nationals Monday.

School-record streak continues; 11 in a row for Rush
It's the 11th straight year that the Gold Rush — 14-8 and ranked seventh in the most recent coaches poll — qualified for nationals. The XULA men reached the semifinals a year ago and were national runner-up in 2016 and 2017.
The Gold Rush were one of 24 teams selected for nationals. Thirteen teams received automatic bids, 10 received at-large bids, and Mobile received a host-school bid.
It's the 11th time overall that the Gold Rush qualified.
The final pretournament step — the NAIA's announcement of the bracket and seedings — will occur Tuesday. The five-day tournament will begin May 14 at Copeland-Cox Mobile Tennis Center in Mobile, Ala.
The top eight seeds will receive first-round byes and play their first matches May 15. XULA received a bye seven of the previous eight seasons, missing only in 2014.
XULA reached the quarterfinals each of the last seven years.
Georgia Gwinnett, which eliminated the Gold Rush each of the past three years, will seek its sixth consecutive national championshhip. The Grizzlies have won 105 consecutive dual matches and have not lost since a 5-3 decision against Hawaii Pacific on April 3, 2015, in Pensacola, Fla.
