Box Score 2024 Red River Athletic Conference men's soccer standings

        METAIRIE, La. — Gustavo Oliveira's 63rd-minute header after a corner kick lifted Xavier University of Louisiana to a 1-0 Red River Athletic Conference soccer victory Saturday against North American University.
        The XULA men (3-2-1 overall, 2-1 RRAC) won their second in a row and climbed above .500 for the first time this season.
        "We practice the corner kick a lot," said forward Leo Dutra, who was credited with the assist. "We worked on it Friday. Our coaches worked with us. I'm glad it happened."
        Oliveira, No. 2 in the Red River in goals in 2023 and tied for fifth this season, scored his fifth goal of 2024 and his 18th in 19 career XULA games. Oliveira scored for the third consecutive game and the fifth time last six games.
