Red River Athletic Conference standings

        METAIRIE, La. — Houston-Victoria scored two second-half goals Thursday to rally for a 2-1 men's soccer victory against Xavier University of Louisiana that knocked the Gold Rush out of a first-place tie in the Red River Athletic Conference.
        The loss was the first ever at home for the Gold Rush (9-3 overall, 8-2 RRAC), a first-year varsity program. In its previous four home games, XULA outscored opponents 10-1.
        XULA spent nearly 43 minutes with the lead, the result of a Fabricio Reis goal during the 20th minute. But the Jaguars (9-3-1, 7-3) responded with Osiel Robledo's goal in the 62nd minute, then won it on Yahir Pena's goal in the 77th minute.
        Houston-Victoria snapped a two-game losing streak and scored more goals against XULA than it had in its previous three games combined (1).
        Neither RRAC co-leader won Thursday. Louisiana Christian played a scoreless tie at home during the evening with Texas A&M-San Antonio, but the Wildcats will enter this weekend with a half-game lead over the Gold Rush. XULA will close its regular season at LCU one week from Saturday.
        Next for XULA will be an 11:30 a.m. Sunday RRAC home game at Lafreniere Park against Huston-Tillotson.
