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 back in NAIA top 10 after climbing two places
|
May 3, 2011
NEW ORLEANS — For the fourth time in five polls,
Xavier University of Louisiana is among the top 10
in the NAIA Men's Tennis Coaches' Top 25.
The Gold Rush (13-9) climbed two spots Tuesday to No. 9
after beating Bethel (Tenn.) 6-0 and Martin Methodist 5-2 to win an
NAIA National Championship qualifying tournament at Chattanooga,
Tenn. XU's men qualified
for the national tournament for the third consecutive year.
Xavier was No. 8, a program record, for three
consecutive polls beginning March 8.
The Gold Rush are in the the top 25 for the 31st
consecutive time dating to April 4, 2007 — that's the fifth longest active
streak among NAIA men's teams — and it's the 22nd straight time
dating to April 30, 2008, that the Gold Rush are among the top 18.
Lee (Tenn.) dropped out of the top 25 after being
tied for 25th in the previous poll. That snapped the Flames' streak of 47
consecutive appearances in the top 25. There are no new teams in this
week's top 25, and Xavier was one of seven teams to climb.
The top three teams are the same as the previous poll,
with Fresno Pacific ranked first for the 14th consecutive time.
Martin Methodist, 0-2 this season against Xavier, remained 23rd.
This was the seventh of eight polls this season. The final
rankings will be announced Sunday.
The Gold Rush will play May 17 in the first round
or May 18 in the second round of the NAIA National Championship at Mobile, Ala.
Xavier's women, whose season ended Saturday
with a 5-0 loss to Milligan in the
semifinals of the qualifying tournament, are out of the top 25 for the
fourth consecutive time. The Gold Nuggets collected one point to tie
for 35th place.
