Gold Rush home win streak ends

        METAIRIE, La. — Sacha Chindiwo's first goal of the season was the only score Thursday in Texas A&M-Texarkana's 1-0 Red River Athletic Conference men's soccer upset of NAIA No. 20 Xavier University of Louisiana at Lafreniere Park.
        Chindiwo scored in the 76th minute after a left-side pass from Diego Picano. It was TAMUT's only shot of the second half.
        Overall XULA had advantages of 24-5 in shots and 10-3 in shots on goal. The Eagles had 10 saves, two by winning goalkeeper David Yearwood, who played the final 21 minutes after starter Oliver Gregory was injured.
        The Eagles (4-4-4 overall, 3-2 RRAC) ended the 13-game home winning streak of the Gold Rush (6-2-1, 3-1). This is XULA's third varsity season, and the Gold Rush are 17-2 all-time at home. The other home defeat was 2-1 to A&M-Victoria in 2023.
        Weather at kickoff (3:02 p.m. CDT): sunny, 87 degrees, heat index 92, humidity 53 percent, north wind at 8 mph.
