ALMA MATER
In the Mississippi Valley,
In the Crescent Bend
Stands our loved and noble Xavier,
Far her praises send.
Refrain:
Wave her colors bear them onward
Gold and white so true
Hail to thee, all hail, dear Xavier
Hail, all hail, X.U.!
Xavier, ever be our guide
And lead us on the way,
Through life's journey, onward, upward
To the eternal day. (Refrain)

Recruiting:
The Gold Rush have yet to announce any signees for the 2013-14 season.
A Great Fall in 2011:
XU's Loic Didavi defeated Graceland's Laurentsi Arakhamiya 6-1, 6-0 to win fifth place in NAIA singles
of the USTA/ITA National Small College Championships at Mobile, Ala., in October 2011.
One day earlier, Didavi and Zach Taylor won the third-place NAIA doubles match.
The Ultimate Goal:
Of the 25 senior male and female student-athletes to play for Coach Alan Green, 21 received
degrees from Xavier or are still enrolled.
Continued Success:
• The Gold Rush qualified for the last five NAIA National Championships — 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 —
won first-round matches in 2009 and 2010 and won a second-round match in 2012 after a first-round bye.
• The XU men won five consecutive Gulf Coast Athletic Conference championships
during the last six years (2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010). The GCAC did not determine a champion in 2011, 2012 or 2013, but
the XU men extended their postseason tournament streak by winning the championship of an
NAIA unaffiliated group tourney all three years. Those 2011, 2012 and 2013 victories earned
the Rush an automatic berth in the NAIA National Championship.
• Beginning with the poll of April 4, 2007, the Gold Rush have been ranked in every NAIA top 25.
• The Rush have been in the final NAIA top 25 for six consecutive seasons.
• XU's men have 28 victories against NCAA Division I opponents the last 10 seasons.
• The Rush have a 47-match GCAC regular-season winning streak.
The most recent loss was 8-1 at Spring Hill on Feb. 7, 2004.
Individual Rankings:
In the Intercollegiate Tennis Association NAIA rankings of April 17,
XU has three ranked singles players. Loic Didavi is fourth, Nikita Soifer 17th
and Kyle Montrel 34th. In the doubles rankings,
Didavi and Montrel are 15th, and Soifer and Viktor Svoboda are 23rd.
