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 Rush preseason rank is 12th straight in NAIA top 10
|
January 29, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
was in a familiar spot in the 2013 NAIA Men's Tennis Coaches' Preseason Poll
announced Tuesday.
The Gold Rush, 18-8 this past season, are No. 8 in the first of nine
team polls this year. It's the 12th consecutive top-10 appearance for
the XU men dating to May 2011 and their 42nd consecutive top-25
ranking dating to April 2007.
It's also Xavier's highest preseason
ranking in this sport. Xavier was ninth in the 2012 preseason and finished the
year No. 7 after becoming the first from Xavier in any sport to reach the
national quarterfinals since men's basketball in 1973.
Xavier opened its spring season this past weekend with a 6-1 loss
to Tulane. The Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets will travel to Houma, La., to
play Nicholls State at 4 p.m. Saturday. The next Gold Rush home match
will start at 2 p.m. on Feb. 8 against NAIA No. 6 William Carey at the
new XU Tennis Center.
The next two top 25s will be announced Feb. 19 and March 5.
