Gold Nuggets fall in SSAC opener

HATTIESBURG, Miss. - The Xavier women's basketball team suffered its first loss of the season here Thursday night, falling 61-52 to William Carey in Southern States Athletic Conference play. 

Thursday's loss was a disappointment for the visiting Gold Nuggets, but the team showed a great deal of fight against a home team that is receiving votes in the national polls.  

XULA (4-1, 0-1 SSAC) trailed 30-22 at the half, then rallied to outscore the Crusaders 22-10 in the third. However, William Carey (2-2, 1-0 SSAC) went on a 22-8 run in the fourth quarter to secure the win. 

Obscured by the result was a massive performance by Xavier forward Faith Robinson, who posted her fourth double-double in five games with 22 points and 15 rebounds, to which she added an assist and 2 blocks. 

Shania Swan added 9 points and 2 steals, and Ananda Jenerson came off the bench to score 8 points. 

Xavier remains on the road for its next game, a Saturday afternoon SSAC game at Mobile. Tipoff is scheduled for noon.
