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 one place from joining Gold Rush in top 10
|
February 19, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — A 3-1 record — the program's
best start since 2007 — moved Xavier University of Louisiana's
women's tennis team from 13th to 11th in the NAIA Coaches' Top 25 poll
announced Tuesday afternoon.
Still in the top 10 are the Xavier men, who fell
from eighth to 10th after a pair of losses to top-10 opponents. Still, it's
the 13th consecutive time that the Gold Rush are in the top 10 and the 16th
time in the last 17 polls.
Xavier never has had both tennis teams in the NAIA
top 10 simultaneously, but this is the closest that coach Alan Green's programs have come
to achieving that status. It's the second consecutive poll that both teams
are among the top 15 — the other time that happened was in 2009.
The Gold Nuggets — a top-25 team in just 4-of-9
polls a year ago after a streak of 44 consecutive top-25 appearances from
2004-11 — bolstered their resumé this past weekend with a come-from-behind 5-4 victory
against then-No. 18 Oklahoma Baptist and a 6-1 decision against
Prairie View A&M. The victory against the Lady Panthers was the Nuggets'
first since 2009 against an NCAA Division I member.
The Gold Rush (3-3) suffered 6-3 losses to top-10s William
Carey and Bethany (Kan.) since the preseason rankings, but Xavier also defeated
Oklahoma Baptist — 21st this week after receiving no votes in January —
and Prairie View.
The top-25 appearance is the 43rd in a row for
the XU men dating to April 4, 2007.
Xavier is one of eight schools — the others
are Auburn Montgomery, Concordia (Calif.), Embry-Riddle (Fla.), Lindsey Wilson, Vanguard, Westmont
and William Carey — with both teams in the top 11.
The next XU home duals will start at 2 p.m. Saturday for
the Gold Nuggets against NCAA Division I's McNeese State and 3 p.m. on Feb. 28
for the Nuggets and Rush against Belhaven, which has both its teams in the
NAIA top 25.
