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 — For the fifth time in two years
— a Gulf Coast Athletic Conference record —
and the second time this season, Xavier University of Louisiana's Zach Taylor
is the GCAC Player of the Week in the men's tennis.
Taylor, a senior from Monroe, La., and a graduate of
St. Frederick High School and Ventura College, earned the award for March 12-18
after being the only XU player to go 2-0 in singles and 2-0 in doubles. The Gold Rush
lost 5-4 to NCAA Division I member Nicholls State and defeated city rival
Loyola 9-0.
Taylor and Loic Didavi, the Intercollegiate Tennis
Association's No. 3 NAIA doubles team, won 11 of their past 12 matches.
Taylor, ranked 17th in singles, won 10 of his past 12 matches.

Taylor broke a tie with former teammate Hassan Abbas, now an
XU student assistant coach, for most conference awards in a career. This is
the fourth year that the GCAC has bestowed weekly tennis honors.
The Xavier men and women will play nationally ranked
Auburn Montgomery at 4 p.m. Saturday at the University of New Orleans in
the final home match for Taylor and three other
seniors: Steffen Giles-Osborn and Sean Richardson on the men's team and
Ashley McGill on the women's.
All four teams are in the NAIA top 25. The Gold Rush
are ninth, and the Gold Nuggets are 24th; AUM's men are fifth, and the women
are first.
