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)

Huggins is XU's second straight NAIA Player of the Week
|
April 18, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's
Corey Huggins, who won 5-of-6 times in three dual matches,
is the NAIA Men's Tennis Player of the Week for April 9-15.
It's the second consecutive week that the Gold Rush
won the national award.
Huggins, a junior from Brooklyn, N.Y., and a graduate
of Bedford Stuyvesant High School and Seminole State (Okla.) College, was 2-1
in singles and 3-0 in doubles, with two of the doubles victories against
Tulane and Alcorn State of NCAA Division I. Huggins clinched the Gold
Rush's 4-0 victory against Alcorn State with a 6-2, 7-6 (7-1) singles decision against Maxim Tkachenko.
Xavier, ranked eighth, lost its dual at Tulane but won Saturday at
Tougaloo and Alcorn to finish the regular season 14-7.
Teammate Loic Didavi was the national winner for
April 2-8. Since the NAIA instituted this award a year ago, no school has
won it more than Xavier. The Gold Rush and Embry-Riddle (Fla.) have been honored
three times apiece. Another XU teammate, Zach Taylor, received the award for April 25-May 1, 2011.
Both XU teams will compete April 27-28 in
an NAIA unaffiliated group qualifying tournament
at Racquet Club of the South in Norcross, Ga.
