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)

Nuggets are 13th, matching their best preseason ranking
|
January 29, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
was 13th — matching the program's highest preseason ranking — in the
2013 NAIA Women's Tennis Coaches' Preseason Poll announced Tuesday.
The Gold Nuggets, 7-22 this past season
but a qualifier for the NAIA National Championship by virtue of winning an
unaffiliated group tournament, matched the preseason rank of Xavier's 2007 team.
This is the Nuggets' highest ranking at any point in a season since they
were 13th in the final poll of 2008. Only three times have the XU women
ranked higher than 13th; all three occurred in 2007.
Xavier began its spring season Friday with a 9-0 victory
against city rival Loyola in the first intercollegiate dual at the new XU
Tennis Center, which opened in October. The Gold Nuggets and Gold Rush will travel to Houma, La., to
play Nicholls State at 4 p.m. Saturday. The Gold Nuggets' next home match
will start at 2 p.m. on Feb. 23 against McNeese State at the
XU Tennis Center.
The next two top 25s will be announced Feb. 19 and March 5.
