        XULA scored the first seven points in a wire-to-wire victory. The Gold Nuggets led 29-23 at halftime, and a Virgil 3-pointer at 6:02 of the third quarter produced the largest lead, 40-25. Shanyce Cabrales' 3-pointer with 6:20 remaining cut XULA's lead to 47-43, but Irons scored consecutive baskets during a 7-2 spurt that helped XULA clinch.
