        Nia Bishop led the Gold Nuggets (9-5 overall, 4-1 RRAC) with 10 points. Kyla Duncan scored six points during the closing run, including a layup at 3:07 that put XULA ahead to stay. It was Duncan's second game of the season; she missed 2020-21 because of an injury.

        Kiara Collins scored 15 points for the Pilots (9-8 overall, 4-1 RRAC), the preseason favorite in the RRAC coaches poll.
        It was the first time in nine years that XULA played three consecutive conference games on the road and won them all. The Gold Nuggets won at Texas A&M-Texarkana Jan. 13 and at LSU-Alexandria Thursday. It was XULA's first victory against the Pilots on their court after four straight losses from 2015-19.
        XULA will visit Louisiana Christian (formerly Louisiana College) in an RRAC game at 5:30 p.m. Monday.
