Gold Nuggets hit the high notes, defeat Tougaloo 69-58


     NEW ORLEANS — Sparked by a slew of season and career highs Monday, Xavier University of Louisiana rolled to a 69-58 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference women's basketball victory against Tougaloo.
     Four scored in double figures for the Gold Nuggets (10-9, 3-0 GCAC), led by freshman Ireyon Keith with a career-high-tying 13 points. Donyeah Mayfield and Whitney Gathright scored 12 points apiece — Mayfield matched her season high — and sophomore Kelsee Singleton produced her first XU double-double with a career-high-tying 10 points and a career-best 10 rebounds.
     Emoni Harvey grabbed a game- and career-best 11 rebounds for Xavier. Harvey, a 5-foot-6 junior guard, has a team-high 28 rebounds through three conference games.
     Montoria Atkinson had 16 points and eight rebounds for the Lady Bulldogs (0-12, 0-3). Reyada Stinner had 14 points, six assists and five steals, and Tremayia Weatherspoon scored 10.
     The Gold Nuggets led wire-to-wire. Keith's basket at 2:34 of the first half gave Xavier its largest lead, 30-13. Xavier led 34-22 at halftime and maintained a double-digit lead for most of the second half.
     Xavier outshot Tougaloo 38.7 to 33.3 percent from the floor. The Gold Nuggets did not make a 3-pointer for the first time this season but made 21 free throws, a season high, in 27 attempts.
     Xavier's will play GCAC and city rival SUNO at 5:30 p.m. next Monday at XU's Convocation Center.
