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 are ninth in NAIA preseason coaches poll
|
January 31, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana is
beginning the 2012 men's tennis season the way it finished 2011:
among the top 10 NAIA teams in the country.
The Gold Rush are ninth in the preseason coaches poll
announced Tuesday. The XU men were eighth — their highest ranking ever —
in the final poll a year ago and reached the second round of the NAIA National
Championship for the third consecutive season.
Beginning with the poll of April 4, 2007, Xavier has
been in every men's top 25.
This is the first Xavier team to earn a preseason
top-10 ranking since the women's basketball team was seventh to start 1997-98.
In the women's tennis preseason poll, Xavier collected
one point did not make the top 25. The Gold Nuggets had appeared in 44 consecutive top
25s before that streak ended in 2011.
Both Xavier teams, losers to Tulane in their openers
during the weekend, will play the University of New Orleans at 4 p.m. Friday
at City Park/Pepsi Tennis Center. The duals were pushed back from Wednesday
by mutual agreement of coaches Alan Green of Xavier and Burzis Kanga of UNO.
