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 — Xavier University of Louisiana's
Zach Taylor and Melissa DeLoach are the inaugural Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
Players of the Week in tennis for the 2011 season.
Taylor, a junior from Monroe, La., and a graduate of
St. Frederick High School, was 4-1 in singles and 4-1 in doubles to help
the Gold Rush win four of five dual matches. His singles victory clinched
Xavier's dual against West Alabama, and his singles win against Prairie View A&M
helped the Rush rally to defeat the defending Southwestern Athletic Conference champion
and 2010 NCAA Tournament participant.
DeLoach, a senior from Fort Washington, Md., and a graduate
of Bishop McNamara High School, was 2-2 in singles and 3-1 in doubles. She won
singles and doubles matches in the Gold Nuggets' only victory of the week, 5-2
against Our Lady of the Lake.
Xavier's women are idle this week, but the men, ranked
14th in the NAIA, will play 17th-ranked Martin Methodist at 4 p.m. Friday
and Tennessee State at 10 a.m. Sunday at Nashville, Tenn.
NOTES: XU Coach Alan Green announced several
schedule changes. His teams will not compete in the Oklahoma Christian Invitational
next week. The Gold Nuggets will travel to LSU for a 1 p.m. dual Feb. 27.
Both teams will travel to California in early March and play at home
March 26 against perennial NAIA power Auburn Montgomery. Both AUM teams are ranked second.
