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)

Jean Dautet, La Rochelle, won at No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles
in the only Gold Rush dual of the week, a 5-4 home victory Thursday against NAIA No. 12 Belhaven.
Didavi defeated Nikita Lisov 6-4, 6-1 and teamed with Kyle Montrel for an
8-3 decision against David Mejia and Daniel Duarte. The Didavi-Montrel doubles
team is 7-0 this semester.
Howell and Didavi were NAIA All-Americans in 2012.
This is the fifth time that Howell won the GCAC award —
she is tied with XU's Anastesia Opata for the most GCAC weekly awards in women's tennis in a career — and it's the second
time for Didavi. It's the third consecutive week that
the Gold Rush won this award — Montrel and Nikita Soifer
were the previous honorees — and the second time in three weeks for
the Gold Nuggets to win. Amanda Materre also won the award.
Both XU teams will play Friday in the AUM Invitational
at Montgomery, Ala. The women will play NAIA No. 20 Cumberland at 9 a.m.
at the AUM Tennis Complex, and the men will play NAIA No. 24 Coastal Georgia at 1 p.m.
at Lagoon Park Tennis Center. XU coach Alan Green announced Tuesday that
the men of NAIA No. 4 Lindsey Wilson have dropped the Gold Rush from its
schedule — they were to meet March 13 in Hattiesburg, Miss.
New NAIA tennis team rankings will be announced later today.
In the previous NAIA poll, XU's men were No. 10, and the women were 11th.
