Terron Armstead (UAPB/New Orleans Saints) built a community center for his hometown. It flooded weeks before opening

Da'Jha Virgil scored a career-high-tying 20 points, and Victory Udechi missed one shot in a 15-point, seven-rebound performance. XULA (10-6), winner of a season-high four straight, will play top-seeded Rust in the semifinals Saturday at Jacksonville, Fla.

Softball: XULA's first-year team lost 8-0, then 10-4 at NAIA No. 7 Mobile in Mobile, Ala. In the second game Mecolett Bradley and Destyn Jones doubled for XULA, and Jones had two RBIs, XULA is 2-5, and Mobile is 3-4. XULA's home debut will be Saturday at 2 p.m. against NAIA No. 12 William Carey at the softball facility at Wesley Barrow Stadium.

Rayshawn Mart scored 27 points and TJ Jones 20 for XULA, which will play sixth-seeded Philander Smith in the semifinals Saturday at Jacksonville, Fla.

Men's Tennis: XULA dropped its fourth straight, 5-2 at the University of New Orleans, XULA (1-4) did not win the doubles point, but Juan Ramirez and Juan Varon rallied from a 4-1 deficit to win 6-4 on the second court..
