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 15th, women 18th in NAIA tennis polls
February 11, 2009
NEW ORLEANS — The Xavier University of Louisiana
men's tennis team is 15th, and the women's team is 18th in the NAIA
preseason coaches polls announced Wednesday.
The Gold Rush's ranking is its highest ever.
The XU men were 17th in the final 2008 poll.
The Gold Nuggets' position is five notches
lower than their final 2008 ranking but seven places higher than their
2008 preseason ranking.
Auburn Montgomery, the NAIA's three-time defending men's champion and five-time
defending women's champion, was a unanimous No. 1 choice in both polls.
Both Xavier teams will compete in a tournament at AUM with other ranked teams March 13-15.
The Rush (1-1) and Nuggets (1-2) will play their first home
dual matches and open their Gulf Coast Athletic Conference schedules
at 4 p.m. Friday against Mobile at UNO Wow Café Tennis Center. Both Xavier
programs have lengthy winning streaks in GCAC regular-season matches — the
women have won 45 in a row, and the men have won 29.
