PHOENIX, Ariz. — Xavier University of Louisiana women's tennis was well on the way Saturday to a fifth consecutive dual-match victory . . . and then it started raining.
     It rained enough for the Gold Nuggets and Westmont to postpone their match — XULA led 3-1 — and for the Gold Nuggets' Saturday evening match with Ottawa (Kan.) to be canceled.
     XULA and Westmont will resume their competition at 10 a.m. MST Sunday — unlike most of the United States, Arizona does not observe daylight saving time — and then XULA will meet NAIA No. 8 San Diego Christian in its already scheduled dual at noon.
     The Gold Nuggets, ranked 10th, got doubles victories from the teams of Yi Chen Pao-Mariia Borodii and Angela Charles-Alfred - Farah Baklouti, then Pao made it 3-1 with her 6-0, 6-0 singles victory against Taylor Cheung-Damonte.
     Borodii, Charles-Alfred and Manon Bonada will return to the court Sunday needing one game victory apiece to clinch their matches. Borodii led Isabel Lee 6-2, 5-0 on the first court.
