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 Nuggets return to top 25, lose to UCO; Rush still 9th

March 20, 2012
Results
NEW ORLEANS — Central Oklahoma defeated Xavier
University of Louisiana 7-2 Tuesday in a women's dual match at City
Park/Pepsi Tennis Center.
The Gold Nuggets (3-15) climbed to 24th in the NAIA
coaches poll earlier in the day. Central Oklahoma (8-4) is ranked 42nd in NCAA
Division II.
XU sophomores Kourtney Howell and Nicole DeLoach
defeated Rose Cabato and Anto Rossini 8-6 at No. 2 doubles, and freshman
Amanda Materre — winning for the ninth time in her past 11 singles matches
— beat Julia Shviadok 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 at No. 2.
Howell, despite two match points in the
super-tiebreaker, lost 4-6, 7-5, 1-0 (11-9) to Elizabeta Abramovic at No. 1
singles.
The Gold Nuggets — aided by a 5-2 road victory against then-No. 21
Belhaven and a 5-4 loss to No. 18 Martin Methodist — are in the top 25 for the first
time since March 8, 2011. They dropped out of the ensuing poll to end a streak
of 44 consecutive top-25 appearances. Nine of the Nuggets' losses this
season are to NCAA Division I opponents.
Both XU teams will play their final home duals of the
season at 4 p.m. Saturday against Auburn Montgomery at the University of New
Orleans Tennis Center. AUM's women are No. 1 in the NAIA, and the men are
fifth. Xavier's men (10-3) remained ninth in the poll. It's the sixth straight
time and the ninth time in the past 10 polls that the Gold Rush are in the
top 10.
