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 in final top 25 for the 7th time in 8 seasons
|
May 22, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
climbed one place to 19th Tuesday in the postseason NAIA Women's Tennis Coaches'
Top 25 Poll.
It's the seventh time in eight seasons that the
Gold Nuggets (7-22) appear in the final top 25 of the season. This is the
first time since 2002 that the last rating occurs after the NAIA National Championship.
Excluding the 2005-06 season, when Xavier did not
compete because of Hurricane Katrina, the Gold Nuggets appeared in the top 25
in 48 of the past 58 polls. They were no lower than 20th in the final three
polls of 2012 after a stretch of 10-of-11 polls outside the top 25.
Despite their losing record, the XU women won an
NAIA unaffiliated group tournament to qualify for nationals for the sixth
time in eight seasons. They lost 6-3 to 15th-ranked Vanguard in the opening round a week ago.
Auburn Montgomery, which won the championship for the
second straight year and the 11th time in 14 seasons, was a unanimous No. 1 for
the sixth straight poll. The Warhawks were first in all nine polls this year.
Embry-Riddle (Fla.), a 5-2 to loser to AUM in the championship dual Saturday,
finished No. 2.
