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)

NEW ORLEANS — The Xavier University of Louisiana
men's tennis team added to its season of stellar accomplishments when three Gold
Rush players — seniors Terry Richardson and Mike Green and freshman Steffen
Giles-Osborn — were in the final 2008-09 NAIA men's singles and doubles
rankings on the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Web site Monday.
Richardson was 28th and Green 35th in singles, and
Green and Giles-Osborn were a season-high 12th in doubles.
Richardson is from Ellenwood, Ga., and Stockbridge High School.
Green is from Port St. Lucie, Fla., and Barnabas Christian Academy, and Giles-Osborn
is from Atlanta and Westlake High.
Green and Giles-Osborn were the first XU men's doubles
team to earn an ITA national ranking. Giles-Osborn is the second Gold Rush freshman
to earn a final national ranking, joining Miroslav Vukicevic (2003-04) in singles.
Previously only one Gold Rush player, Vukicevic,
had made the ITA's final rankings.
Xavier was 17-7 this past season, winning the Gulf Coast
Athletic Conference Tournament for the fourth consecutive time in five years,
tying a school record for victories and reaching the second round in the Gold Rush's
first appearance at the NAIA National Championship. Xavier was the first HBCU men's
team to qualify for the NAIA's national event since it adopted a dual-match format
in 2000.
