Alan Green nets 200th career victory as Gold Rush tennis coach

NEW ORLEANS — Alan Green earned his 200th career victory as men’s head coach at Xavier University of Louisiana when the Gold Rush defeated city rival Loyola 6-3 Sunday at XULA Tennis Center.

Green, in his 15th season at XULA, is 200-137 with the Gold Rush. He led the XULA men to NAIA national runner-up finishes each of the last two years.

It was a bittersweet day for Green, whose women lost 5-4 to Loyola. It was the Wolf Pack’s first-ever tennis victory against the Gold Nuggets. Green still needs two victories to reach 200 as coach of the XULA women.

Chris Anders clinched for the Gold Rush with his 7-5, 6-1 victory at No. 4 singles against Ernesto de Diego.
