Nuggets beat Owls again, await rematch with Keiser
MOBILE, Ala. — Xavier University of Louisiana women's tennis adroitly handled one rematch Thursday, but it will need a similar performance Friday to reach its first-ever NAIA National Championship final.The Gold Nuggets, ranked and seeded third, won 5-0 in the quarterfinals against William Woods, ranked and seeded sixth. The score was the same as their March 22 meeting at XULA, and Charlene Goreau clinched both times with straight-set singles victories.
XULA (19-5) will play in the semifinals at 1 p.m. Friday against Keiser (20-4), the last team to beat the Nuggets this season — 7-2 on April 19 in Pensacola, Fla. — and the only ranked opponent out of 14 to beat XULA in 2019.
"It's nationals now, so it's going to be tight," said Goreau. "I think we can do something against (Keiser)."
The Gold Nuggets produced back-to-back 5-0 victories at nationals for the first time ever, and sophomore Mariia Borodii won in singles at nationals for the first time after four non-completed matches.
Doubles produced two routs — Goreau and Angela Charles-Alfred won 8-1 for the second straight day, then Borodii and Farah Baklouti won by the same score — and a two-hour thriller in which Lacee Ancarand Angelica De Vincenzis won 9-8 (7-4) after trailing 3-1 and leading 6-4.
Borodii made it 4-0 with her 6-1, 6-1 victory against Julia Perez Wienese, and Goreau clinched by beating Zlata Shuraeva 6-0, 6-4. The Gold Nuggets won first sets in each of the four unfinished matches.
Goreau and Charles-Alfred are 5-0 in two years as a doubles team at nationals. Borodii and Baklouti are 21-0 as a doubles team this season, and each has a 26-1 doubles record in 2018-19.
Keiser is ranked and seeded second and was the national runner-up a year ago.
Quarterfinals — Thursday
Georgia Gwinnett 5, Brenau 1
William Carey 5, SCAD Savannah 3
Keiser 5, Middle Georgia 1
XULA 5, William Woods 0
Semifinals — 1 p.m. Friday
No. 1 Georgia Gwinnett (18-1) vs. No. 4 William Carey (15-2)
No. 2 Keiser (20-4) vs. No. 3 XULA (19-5)

Rush roll past No. 2 Reinhardt to reach semifinals
MOBILE, Ala. — When Xavier University of Louisiana men's tennis lost 5-4 at Reinhardt March 29, Gold Rush coach Alan Green hoped for a postseason rematch with the Eagles — and he was confident the second result would be different.
Green got his wish Thursday when the Gold Rush and Eagles met in the quarterfinals of the NAIA National Championship tournament — and Green's team produced a different result. XULA, ranked and seeded seventh, won 5-1 against Reinhardt, ranked and seeded second, to advance to the national semifinals for the fourth consecutive year.
XULA's 9 a.m. Friday opponent will be Cardinal Stritch, ranked and seeded third and a 5-2 winner against Middle Georgia.
What was different this time? XULA won 2-of-3 doubles matches — it won once in the earlier meeting — and got singles victories from seniors Gabriel Niculescu and Pierre Andrieu, neither of whom won against Reinhardt in March.
Andrieu ended the dual when he defeated Mario Belloni Tomas 6-1, 6-4. It was Andrieu's second clinch of the season and first since Feb. 24.
Niculescu made it 4-1 with his 6-4, 6-4 victory against Jordi Puig. Ghassan Alansi was the first to finish in singles after beating Myrohn Miranda 6-1, 6-4.
XULA's doubles lineup was retooled since the first Reinhardt meeting. Alansi and Andrieu cruised to an 8-3 victory against Bruno Juarez and Miranda, and Shaikh Abdullah and Santiago Perez won 9-7 against Martin Mendoza and Sam Alexander after trailing 5-3 and 7-6.
It was the first time ever that the XULA men defeated the NAIA's second-ranked team. In addition to the March loss to Reinhardt, there were six losses to No. 2s from 2010-14.
XULA joined Lindsey Wilson (2016) as the only No. 7 seeds to reach the men's semifinals. It's just the second time that the No. 2 seed will not be among the semifinalists.
Reinhardt, which reached the 2018 semifinals as a No. 14 seed, finished 17-3.
Quarterfinals — Thursday
Georgia Gwinnett 5, Keiser 0
William Carey 5, Point 1
Cardinal Stritch 5, Middle Georgia 2
XULA 5, Reinhardt 1
Semifinals — 9 a.m. Friday
No. 1 Georgia Gwinnett (25-0) vs. No. 5 William Carey (15-3)
No. 3 Cardinal Stritch (16-4) vs. No. 7 XULA (16-8)
