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)

XU makes a splash in Campbell's-ITA preseason rankings
November 23, 2011
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana has
three singles players and three doubles teams in the Campbell's-Intercollegiate
Tennis Association NAIA preseason rankings announced Wednesday.
Most notably:
• Loic Didavi is seventh in men's singles —
Xavier's highest ranking since Miroslav Vukicevic was fifth in March 2008.
• Didavi, Steffen Giles-Osborn (career-high 13th) and Amir
Rahbar (career-high 46th) give the Gold Rush three nationally ranked singles players for the
first time since April 2009.
• The Gold Rush have two nationally ranked doubles
teams for the first time. Didavi and Zach Taylor are third — Xavier's highest NAIA
ranking ever — and Giles-Osborn and Sean Richardson are 21st.
Nicole DeLoach and
Kourtney Howell are 22nd in women's doubles. All the aforementioned XU men and women are ranked in
the South, with Didavi second in singles and second in doubles with Taylor.
It's the fourth consecutive season that Giles-Osborn has been nationally ranked at
least once in singles.
Updated individual rankings will be announced March 7, April 11 and
May 23. The NAIA will announce its preseason top-25 team rankings
Jan. 31 and first regular-season rankings Feb. 21.
