Baseball: XULA didn't hit a home run in its first eight games, but hit three Friday in game No. 9, a 17-10 victory against Tougaloo at Wesley Barrow Stadium. Catcher Tristan Rodriguez homered twice -- including a first-inning grand slam -- and Danny Coleman hit a two-run homer. Rodriguez also doubled and finished with five RBIs. Jose Fulgencio reached base safely four times and had three RBIs. XULA (6-3) and Tougaloo (2-6) will conclude their three-game series with a 1 p.m. Saturday doubleheader at Barrow.
Volleyball: XULA extended to 47 its win streak in Gulf Coast Athletic Conference regular-season matches after defeating Philander Smith and Rust at Holly Springs, Miss. XULA beat Philander Smith 25-19, 25-15, 25-18, then cruised past Rust 25-13, 25-4, 25-6.

Men's Tennis: XULA defeated Lewis-Clark State 6-1 in a matchup of ranked NAIA teams. XULA is No. 10, and Lewis-Clark State is No. 24. Freshman Jered Wilson earned his second clinch of the week when he defeated Andy Wu 6-2, 6-1 on the fifth singles court. Shaikh Abdullah and Sebastian Perez won in doubles and singles for XULA (3-4), winner of its last 15 dual matches at home.
Women's Tennis: XULA, ranked third in the NAIA, improved to 6-2 with a 6-1 victory against Lewis-Clark State. Angela Charles-Alfred, Valentina Largacha, Angelica De Vincenzis, Kyra Akinnibi and Farah Baklouti won in doubles and singles. Baklouti clinched at No. 4 singles with her 6-2, 6-0 victory against Sophie Uhlenkott. XULA has won its last 10 dual matches at home.
