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)

Gold Rush drop from eighth to 11th in NAIA coaches poll
|
April 19, 2011
NEW ORLEANS — After three consecutive appearances
at a program-record No. 8, Xavier University of Louisiana fell to 11th Tuesday
in the NAIA Men's Tennis Coaches' Top 25 Poll.
Losses to William Carey and Tulane since
the last poll extended the losing streak of the Gold Rush (11-9) to
four duals. Still, 11th is higher than any XU men's team prior to this season.
The Gold Rush are in the the top 25 for the 30th
consecutive time dating to April 4, 2007, and it's the 21st straight time
dating to April 30, 2008, that the Gold Rush are among the top 18.
The top five teams are the same as the previous poll,
with Fresno Pacific ranked first for the 13th consecutive time.
This was the sixth of eight polls this season. The final
two rankings will be announced May 3 and 8.
Tulane was Xavier's final regular-season opponent.
The Gold Rush will travel to Chattanooga, Tenn., for
an NAIA National Championship qualifying tournament April 29-30 at Champions Club
Tennis Complex. The XU men are trying to reach the national tournament for the
third consecutive year.
