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)

Xavier men lose to top-ranked AUM in regional semifinal
April 26, 2008
Results
MOUNT BERRY, Ga. — Top-ranked and two-time defending national
champion Auburn Montgomery defeated No. 24 Xavier University of Louisiana
5-0 Saturday in the semifinals of the NAIA Region XIII men's tennis tournament.
The Senators (22-1) snapped the eight-match winning streak of the Gold
Rush (15-9), which was in its first regional semifinal. Xavier, in the
top 25 all season long, likely will be considered for an at-large bid to
the national tournament next month at Mobile, Ala.
AUM won all the doubles matches for a 3-0 lead, and the match was stopped
after the Senators clinched with a pair of singles victories. Vusumzi Kempele,
the only Xavier player to win a match in the Gold Rush's 8-1 loss at AUM on
March 17, lost 6-2, 6-2 to Tim Mudrick at No. 5 singles. That ended Kempele's
12-match winning streak, and the loss was just his second in 17 matches this spring.
Xavier's Miroslav Vukicevic was selected to the All-Region XIII men's team,
and the Gold Nuggets' Dominique Bell and Anastesia Opata were chosen to the
women's team. Bell made the team for the second consecutive season.
Auburn Montgomery beat Shorter 5-0 to win its fifth consecutive Region
XIII championship.
