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)

Nuggets exit top 25, then lose to first-year NAIA program
|
March 22, 2011
Results
NEW ORLEANS — It was a double whammy
Tuesday for the Xavier University of Louisiana women's tennis team.
First the Gold Nuggets dropped out of the NAIA top 25 for the first
time since February 2004. Then they lost their ninth consecutive
dual match — 9-0 to SCAD Atlanta at the University of New Orleans
Tennis Center.
The Gold Nuggets (2-11) had appeared in 44
consecutive top 25s dating to Feb. 25, 2004, but missed by
10 points this time and fell to 27th overall.
SCAD Atlanta (8-2) — an NAIA independent in
its first year of intercollegiate sports but ineligible for rankings
or the postseason until 2011-12 — dropped only one set in
winning its fifth dual in a row. The closest match was at No. 3 singles,
where Christina Swindall defeated XU's Nicole DeLoach 2-6, 7-6 (7-2), 1-0 (10-4).
Once again, because of only five available
players, Xavier was forced to default at No. 3 doubles and No. 6 singles.
The good news was that senior Ashley McGill returned to action for the first time
in six duals after completing her basketball eligibility Friday.
Xavier's women and men will return to the
courts Friday in a 3:30 p.m. makeup match against city rival Loyola
at City Park Tennis Center.
