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)

Xavier qualified for the NAIA nationals for the second consecutive year.

Georgetown, ranked 13th,
earned at at-large bid after winning the
Mid-South Conference regular season
and losing in four sets to Lindsey Wilson in the Mid-South tourney championship match.
It will be the Tigers' 15th appearance at nationals and first since 2009.
"Georgetown has beaten three teams we played this season —
Lee, Union (Ky.) and Lindsey Wilson — so that has our attention," said XU coach Christabell
Hamilton, whose team lost to Lee and Lindsey Wilson and defeated Union in the
season-opening Lee Invitational in August. "We're definitely the underdogs,
and I like it that way."
Georgetown had a 25-match win streak from Aug. 25-Oct. 23.
The 12 winners of Saturday's opening-round matches will
advance to the NAIA National Championship Final Site presented by CNOS. They'll
meet up with the host school, Morningside, and the 11 top seeds for competition
Nov. 27-Dec. 1 at the Tyson Events Center/Gateway Arena in Sioux City, Iowa.
Xavier lost 25-13, 25-11, 25-21 at Spring Hill in the NAIA's
2011 opening round.
