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 still ninth in NAIA poll; Nuggets gain support
|
February 21, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
maintained its No. 9 ranking in the NAIA Men's Tennis Coaches' Top 25 Poll
released Tuesday.
The Gold Rush are in the top 10 for the fourth
consecutive poll dating to May 2011 and the seventh time in the past eight
polls. Beginning with the poll of April 4, 2007, Xavier has
been in every men's top 25.
Xavier still is tied for 36th place in the
women's rankings, but the Gold Nuggets' point total increased from one to
three.
The polls are the second of nine this season.
Fresno Pacific's men and Auburn Montgomery's women held on to their
No. 1 rankings. The next polls will be announced March 6.
The Gold Nuggets will travel to NCAA Division I
Southeastern Louisiana for a 6 p.m. Friday dual match, then both Xavier
teams will play William Carey in dual matches starting at 10 a.m. Saturday
at City Park/Pepsi Tennis Center.
William Carey's men are ranked 13th, and the women are 12th.
The XU men
already have a victory this season against a ranked opponent — 7-2
on Feb. 11 against Bethany (Kan.), which climbed from 16th to 15th in
the poll — and are scheduled for at least eight more regular-season
matches against this week's top 25.
