Gold Nuggets outlast Wiley in UST Classic opener
HOUSTON — Xavier University of Louisiana received contributions from many Friday in a 25-15, 16-25, 25-16, 25-21 victory against Wiley in the opening match of the UST Volleyball Classic.
The Gold Nuggets (19-4) stretched their win streak to 11 — tied for the third longest in the program's 12-year history.
For the first time this season, six Gold Nuggets reached five kills in the same match. Kayla Black had 12, Vivica Price-Spraggins 11, Ema Causevic nine, Maya Smith a career-high eight, Jaida Dowd seven and Bria Mayes five. Price-Spraggins hit .611 with no errors in 18 attacks. Mayes hit .400, Smith .375 and Causevic .353.
Jennifer Torres served a match-high three aces and produced a match- and career-best 27 digs. Taylor McGee and Eva Le Guillou served two aces apiece. Price-Spraggins, Mayes and Smith had three blocks apiece.
Torres became the third Gold Nugget this season to reach 25 digs in a match — Black and Si Si Mitchell did it in August — and XULA needed every dig in a match where both teams hit well. The Gold Nuggets hit .330 — .469 over the final two sets — and Wiley hit .261. It was the first time in six seasons that the Gold Nuggets and their opponent reached .250.
"We kept our composure when tested," XULA head coach Pat Kendrick said. "Viv was steady hitting .611 with no errors. Jenny was very solid in service reception and defense with 27 digs. Our setters, Eva and Tiffany, distributed the ball well."
Le Guillou had 33 assists, and Tiffany Phillips had 16.
Tinoi Martin had 14 kills and 11 digs — her third double-double of the season — and hit .281 for the Wildcats (12-4). Teleze Collier had seven kills, Tiyanna Johnson had six kills and three blocks, and Alexia Souza hit .714 with five kills, 33 assists and two blocks.
XULA produced advantages of 52-46 in kills, 51-43 in assists, 10-5 in aces, 52-43 in digs and 6-5 in blocks.
XULA will play twice Saturday in this event: 11 a.m. against Huston-Tillotson and 3 p.m. against the host school, St. Thomas.

Rush add 3 signees, 1 walk-on to 2019-20 roster
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana announced Thursday four additional newcomers — three signees and one walk-on — to its 2019-20 men's basketball roster. Joining the Gold Rush are:
• Cameron Dumas, a 5-foot-9 sophomore guard from Baton Rouge, La., and Episcopal High School. Dumas, a computer science major, is a transfer from NAIA member and city rival Loyola.
• Makye Richard, a 6-2 junior guard from Morgan City, La., and Morgan City High School. Richard is a transfer from NAIA member Northern New Mexico. His major is business management.
• Cam Wilson, a 6-9 center from Rochester, N.Y., and McQuaid Jesuit High School. Wilson transferred from NCAA Division III Cazenovia. He is a business sales and marketing major.
• Walk-on Albert Jackson, a 6-5 freshman forward from Laurel, Md., and Atholton High School. Jackson is a biology / pre-medical major.
Dumas averaged 8.9 points, 2.4 assists, 1.2 steals and made 45 3-pointers last season for Loyola, which won the Southern States Athletic Conference Tournament and qualified for NAIA nationals. Dumas scored in double figures 10 times, including a 20-point performance against XULA in which he made 5-of-5 3-pointers.
As a senior at Episcopal, Dumas averaged 19.4 points, two rebounds, 6.3 assists and 3.4 steals — and he intercepted eight passes for the football team.
Richard made 41 3-pointers and averaged 14.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and a team-leading 3.4 assists last season for Northern New Mexico. He averaged 12.6 points as a senior at Morgan City, was honorable-mention Class 4A All-State and the District 7-4A Defensive Most Valuable Player.
Wilson led NCAA Division III as a freshman in 2017-18 with 4.4 blocked shots per game. His two-season averages at Cazenovia included 4.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.7 blocks in 32 games. Wilson was conference MVP in his junior year at McQuaid Jesuit.
Jackson averaged 8.2 points, four rebounds and 2.2 assists last season and helped Atholton win the county championship. He transferred to Atholton after three years at Mount St. Joseph in Baltimore.
XULA, 18-14 overall and 8-6 (tied for fourth place) in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference a year ago, will open its 81st season with games in Georgia at 5 p.m. EDT Oct. 25 at Thomas (Thomasville) and 4 p.m. EDT Oct. 26 at Coastal Georgia (Brunswick). The Gold Rush home opener will tip off at 7 p.m. Oct. 30 against Carver in the Convocation Center.
NOTES: Fourth-year head coach Alfred Williams said seniors Virgil Davison and Jerry Gibson have rejoined the team after a year's absence. Davison, a 5-8 guard, averaged a team-leading 14.2 points per game in 2017-18, was second-team All-GCAC and honorable-mention NAIA Division I All-America. Gibson, a 6-5 forward, averaged 2.1 points and 2.3 rebounds in 45 games over two seasons
. . . There are 20 student-athletes on the 2019-20 roster — the most for the Gold Rush since the 1991-92 season . . . XULA won its last 23 season openers and its last 23 home openers.
