        LIMA, Ohio — Angela Charles-Alfred and Angelica De Vincenzis both won 6-0, 6-0 in singles Thursday to help close out Xavier University of Louisiana's 4-0 women's tennis victory against Northwestern Ohio in the IWU Invitational.
        XULA, ranked third in the NAIA, is 14-4 and has won eight straight. Northwestern Ohio is 6-6.
        Charles-Alfred won on the third court against Veronika Kovalchuk to give XULA a 2-0 lead, then De Vincenzis — clinching for the second consecutive time and the fourth time in her career — blanked Anastasia Khabarova on court five.
        Lailaa Bashir won 6-0, 6-4 on court two against Ana Cetina.
        XULA won all three doubles matches, and Charles-Alfred and Bashir clinched that point with their 6-2 victory against Cetina and Camila Puente.
        Because of wet courts at the tournament venues in Marion, Ind., XULA and UNOH moved to the Racers' indoor home facility, Westwood Tennis & Fitness Center. For XULA, that resulted in a round-trip drive of approximately 200 miles after flying Wednesday to Indiana.
        "The Nuggets played well and got off to a good start," said Alan Green, XULA's head coach/director of tennis. "Playing indoors is a different game, a different type of ball coming back across the net. But we handled it well today."
        XULA will play NAIA No. 11 Union (Ky.) at 1 p.m. EDT Friday at Marion High School. The weather forecast: partly cloudy, high of 73 degrees.
