METAIRIE, La. — Xavier University of Louisiana women's soccer on Thursday was shut out for the first time. LSU-Shreveport got goals from Chelsea Brown, Madison Salas and Olivia Sanchez in a 3-0 Red River Athletic Conference victory at Lafreniere Park.
        XULA (3-3 overall, 3-1 RRAC) will return to Lafreniere for a 5 p.m. Saturday RRAC matchup with unbeaten Texas A&M-Texarkana. Admission is free.
        Brown scored in the 22nd minute with an assist from Paulina Fierro — the only first-half goal. Salas scored in the 56th minute, and Sanchez scored in the 65th minute. Dawnielle Torres assisted on both second-half goals.
        Both teams had five shots on goal.
        It was the fourth consecutive shutout for LSUS — the first two were scoreless ties — and Carlota Alcalde was the winning goalkeeper. The Pilots ended XULA's three-game winning streak.
        The Gold Nuggets' starters were Grete Nelson, Britni Belmonte, Amora Altmon, Gabriela Gonzalez, Julia de Souza, Maureen Owusu, Millicent Owusu, Tatum Register, Abby Martin, Luci Schroeder and Theresa Wiesiolek.
