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)

McNeese beats Nuggets, but XU wins 3 singles matches
February 23, 2013
Results
NEW ORLEANS — Klaudia Gawlik, Diana Pirciu and
Annabelle Peacock won in doubles and singles Saturday to lead McNeese State
to a 6-3 women's tennis victory against NAIA No. 11 Xavier University of
Louisiana.
The Cowgirls (6-3) won for the fourth time in five
duals and gave the Gold Nuggets (3-3) their second consecutive loss. All three
XU losses this year are to NCAA Division I opponents. It was the Gold
Nuggets' first loss at the new XU Tennis Center, which opened in October.
For the first time in four meetings with McNeese, the
Gold Nuggets won three singles matches. But all three were decided after
McNeese clinched the dual.
XU freshman Brion Flowers, playing at No. 2, ended her
four-match singles losing streak with a 7-6 (7-5), 6-2 victory against Lara
Pujol. Amanda Materre won 1-6, 6-3, 1-0 (10-5) against Anastasia Surkova at
No. 3, and another XU freshman, Simone-Alyce Ewell, defeated Andreea Nenu 6-4,
6-2 at No. 4.
Gawlik, a freshman, improved to 9-0 in singles this
semester after her 6-3, 6-3 victory against NAIA All-American Kourtney Howell
at No. 1. Gawlik and Nenu beat Ewell and Materre 8-5 at No. 2 doubles.
All three doubles matches were close, including Pirciu
and Peacock's 9-8 (7-4) decision against Amber Brown and Vashni Balleste at No.
3. Pirciu and Peacock combined to lose just two games at the bottom two singles
flights, and Peacock clinched the dual with her 6-2, 6-0 victory against Brown
at No. 6.
"We lost this one in the doubles," XU coach Alan Green
said. "We fought hard to split the singles. I have to do a better job with our
doubles teams."
A year ago, the Nuggets won only one set and just five
combined doubles games in a 7-0 loss at McNeese.
Xavier's women and men will play Belhaven at 3 p.m.
Thursday at the XU Tennis Center. Xavier's men are ranked 10th in the NAIA.
Belhaven's men are 12th, and its women are 22nd.
