DALLAS — Xavier University of Louisiana
rallied in the fourth quarter Saturday for a 68-60 Red River Athletic Conference
women's basketball victory against Paul Quinn.
The Gold Nuggets (19-5 overall, 14-1 RRAC) trailed 46-41 through three quarters,
then got seven points apiece from
Destinee Pointer and
Victory Udechi in a 27-14 final period.
Nia Bishop and
Kyla Duncan scored 12 points apiece for XULA —
Duncan was 6-of-6 from the floor — and Pointer, Udechi and
Abryhia Irons scored 11 points apiece.
The Gold Nuggets closed the regular season with a 13-game win
streak — their longest since 21 straight in the 2009-10 season.
The streak will move to 14 because Tuesday RRAC opponent Wiley, citing a lack of healthy personnel,
forfeited the remainder of its schedule five days ago.
