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)

XU duals with Oklahoma Baptist will be resumed Saturday
February 15, 2013
PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas — Xavier University of
Louisiana's tennis duals with Oklahoma Baptist were suspended at approximately
10:45 p.m. Friday after a 40-minute rain delay and a power failure about 20
minutes after play resumed.
The matches will resume at 9 a.m. Saturday with the
Gold Rush leading 4-2 and the Gold Nuggets trailing 3-2. The XU men are ranked
eighth and the women 13th in the NAIA; Oklahoma Baptist's women are ranked
18th.
"OBU's men should be in the top 25, too," XU coach Alan
Green said. "They look good. It feels like a match we would play at
nationals."
The Gold Rush won twice in doubles and twice in
singles. Loic Didavi and Kyle Montrel defeated Marco Carvajal and Dario
Macanovic 8-1 at No. 1 doubles, and Nikita Soifer and Viktor Svoboda won the
last five games to beat Augustin Janssen and Gonzalo Garzon 9-7 at No. 2.
Svoboda was first off the court in singles after his 6-0, 6-0 decision against
Kolt Byerly at No. 4. Montrel defeated Macanovic 6-4, 7-6 (7-4).
The other three Gold Rush singles players —
Didavi, Soifer and Benjamin Brading — were in third sets when the lights
at the Prairie View A&M University Tennis Complex went off and could not
be turned on again.
Amanda Materre contributed to both of the Gold Nuggets'
points. Materre and Simone-Alyse Ewell defeated Mariana Rosa and Camden
Rodriguez 8-0 at No. 2 doubles. Materre defeated Rosa 6-1, 6-2 at No. 3
singles.
The Gold Rush will play NAIA No. 10 Bethany (Kan.) at
2 p.m. Saturday. The women will not play Saturday after completing their dual
with OBU. Both XU teams will conclude their trip with 9 a.m. Sunday duals
against Prairie View A&M.
