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's Rush, Nuggets will face challenging 2012 schedules
January 24, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — The Xavier University of
Louisiana tennis teams will get a heavy concentration of ranked NAIA opponents
and NCAA Division I opponents in 2012.
Alan Green, in his ninth season as coach of the
Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets, announced Tuesday the spring portion of the schedules.
Approximately 65 percent of both teams' schedules will
consist of opponents which were ranked in the final 2011 NAIA coaches top 25 poll or
are NCAA D-I members. Xavier competes in the NAIA.
Competition will begin this weekend when the XU men
visit Tulane at 2 p.m. Saturday. XU's women will visit Tulane at 9 a.m. Sunday.
The first home duals will be Feb. 1 when Xavier's men and women play the
University of New Orleans at the City Park/Pepsi Tennis Center, which opened
10 months ago. That facility will play host to most of Xavier's home matches
this season.
Ranked 2011 NAIA teams on the schedules of the Gold Rush and Gold
Nuggets include top-10 programs Auburn Montgomery — whose women won the national
championship this past season — Point Loma Nazarene and Vanguard. NCAA Division I
opponents will include the men and women of Nicholls State and the women
of Louisiana Tech and South Alabama.
"This will be our toughest men's and women's schedules ever," Green said.
"I'm not looking to play a lot of cream puffs. We want to challenge ourselves
with difficult competition and use those challenges to become better and stronger."
For the second straight year the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
will not crown tennis champions — only Xavier, Tougaloo and Fisk sponsor
the sport — but both XU teams will compete in an NAIA unaffiliated group
tournament in the Atlanta area in late April for automatic bids to the NAIA
National Championships.
Xavier's men will attempt earn a fourth consecutive berth
at the NAIA nationals, and the women will attempt to qualify for the sixth time
in eight seasons. The Gold Nuggets missed qualifiying last year after reaching
the previous three seasons.
The first NAIA team rankings of the season will be
announced next Wednesday.
