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 — Xavier University of Louisiana tennis players Viktor Svoboda

Svoboda, a sophomore from Kamenice, Czech Republic,
was 5-1 in singles matches and 5-1 in doubles to help the Gold Rush win
5-of-6 duals, four against NAIA top-25 opponents. Svoboda won all his matches
against top-10 opponents Auburn Montgomery and Shorter, and three times he won in singles
in super-tiebreakers.
Howell, a sophomore from Cypress, Texas, and a graduate of
|
Cypress Woods High School, was 5-1 in singles and 4-2 in doubles.
Howell defeated ITA-NAIA ranked singles players on consecutive days —

against Shorter's 22nd-ranked Candice Laurent. Howell also beat the No. 1
singles players of top-25 teams Belhaven and Campbellsville.
Both XU teams will play NCAA Division I member Nicholls
