Saints defeat Gold Rush

        SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Breion Powell produced 23 points and a career-best 14 rebounds Saturday, and NAIA No. 20 Our Lady of the Lake gained three turnovers in the final 91 seconds to hold on for a 64-59 Red River Athletic Conference men's basketball victory against Xavier University of Louisiana.
        The Saints (14-4 overall, 10-4 RRAC) completed a two-game regular-season sweep of the Gold Rush (11-4, 10-3). Next for XULA will be a 7:30 p.m. Tuesday RRAC game against North American at the Convocation Center.
        XULA never led — there were ties at 5 and 33 — but got 3-pointers from Lance Williams and Jathen Ross to cut a 57-49 deficit to 60-59 with 1:10 remaining. But XULA committed turnovers on its final two possessions, and the Saints got clinching baskets from Kenyon Elliott and Powell.
        Seviuhn Turner had 22 points, six rebounds, six steals and a block for the Gold Rush. J'Quan Ewing scored 10. Turner made three 3-pointers, and his steals are the most in a game by a Gold Rush player this season.
        XULA's points and 34.4 percent from the floor were season lows. OLLU outrebounded the Gold Rush 46-29.
        XULA remained in second place in the RRAC but dropped to 2 1/2 games behind LSU-Alexandria, a 63-60 winner at Jarvis Christian. OLLU took sole possession of third place after Texas A&M-Texarkana lost 120-118 in triple overtime at LSU-Shreveport.
