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)

NEW ORLEANS — Zach Taylor, who delivered in
doubles and singles for Xavier University of Louisiana in a comeback victory
against William Carey on Saturday, is the first Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
Player of the Week of the men's tennis season.
Taylor, a senior from Monroe, La., and a graduate of
St. Frederick High School and Ventura College, teamed with Loic Didavi for an
8-5 No. 1 doubles victory against the Crusaders' Jody Claassen and Thomas Rizk.
Taylor's 6-1, 4-6, 6-1 victory at No. 2 singles against 31st-rated Ricky
Keppeler tied the dual at 4.
Xavier, ranked ninth in the NAIA, rallied from a 4-1
deficit to beat 13th-ranked William Carey 5-4.
Taylor was 4-0 in singles and 4-0 in doubles in
February. He and Didavi were third —
|
Xavier's highest NAIA position ever
— in the ITA's preseason doubles rankings. Taylor was a three-time GCAC
Player of the Week in 2011.
Xavier (4-1) will play NAIA No. 10 Shorter at 2 p.m.
next Monday at City Park/Pepsi Tennis Center.
