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)

Abbas is Louisiana men's Newcomer of Year
June 2, 2010
NEW ORLEANS — Hassan Abbas, who led the Xavier University
of Louisiana men in singles and doubles victories this season, is the Newcomer
of the Year on the 2010 All-Louisiana collegiate tennis team announced late Wednesday.
Abbas and teammate Steffen Giles-Osborn were chosen to
the six-player first team. It's the first time the Gold Rush had two first-team selections.
Anastesia Opata was a repeat first-team selection on the
All-Louisiana women's team, and the Gold Nuggets' Angelina Callis made the second team
for the second consecutive year.
|
Abbas, a junior from Saltaire, England, and a graduate of
Bingley Grammar School and Ventura (Calif.) College, was 23-8 in singles and 14-11
in doubles for the Gold Rush. He had a 13-match singles winning streak which
included victories against six NCAA Division I opponents. Last month he was
chosen Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Newcomer of the Year.
Giles-Osborn, a sophomore from Atlanta and a graduate of
Westlake High School, was 14-15 in singles and 14-11 in doubles and the
GCAC Player of the Year.
Opata, a senior from Lawrenceville, Ga., and a
graduate of Central Gwinnett High School, was All-Louisiana for the third straight year
— she was second team in 2008 — after going 22-8 in singles and
20-11 in doubles. Opata was GCAC Player of the Year in 2009 and 2010.
Callis, a senior from Los Angeles and a graduate of
Dorchester (Mass.) High School, was 24-6 in singles and 20-11 in doubles.
Callis had three singles victories against NAIA top-50 opponents, and she led
the Gold Nuggets in total victories for the second consecutive season.
Both Xavier teams this year won repeat GCAC championhips
and won first-round matches at the NAIA National Championship.
A Louisiana Sports Writers Association panel selected
the All-Louisiana teams.
