TROY, Ala. — Xavier University of Louisiana got a singles victory from sophomore
Adam Albrecht in a 5-1 men's tennis loss Friday at Troy.
   Albrecht scored the lone point for the Gold Rush (9-4) when he defeated Calum McKinlay 6-4, 6-3 at the fifth flight. Xavier didn't win any other sets, although
Manav Chakma trailed Cyprian Owczarz 7-6 (7-4), 5-5 at No. 6 when the dual ended.
   The Trojans (16-5), ranked 62nd in NCAA Division I, clinched when Hassan Ndayishimye beat
Kyle Montrel 7-5, 6-2 at No. 1 singles.
   "We played good," said XU coach
Alan Green, whose team lost 6-1 at Troy a year ago.
   Montrel suffered his first doubles loss of the season when Ndayishimye and Gabriel Dias defeated Montrel and
Nikita Soifer 6-0. Montrel entered 12-0, 8-0 with Soifer. Soifer's nine-match win streak ended.
   Another streak-breaker was Andy Lau and Austin Racine's 6-3 victory against Chakma and
Tushar Mandlekar, who had won their previous nine decisions.
   Xavier, ranked sixth in the NAIA, will remain in Troy and play Columbus State -- ranked sixth in NCAA Division II -- at 10 a.m. Saturday, one hour earlier than originally announced.
