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)

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — For the second time this season,
both Xavier University of Louisiana tennis teams defeated ranked NAIA
opponents on the same day.
It happened Friday in the AUM Invitational. The Gold
Nuggets defeated Cumberland 9-0 in the morning at the AUM Tennis Complex,
then the Gold Rush beat Coastal Georgia 6-3 in the afternoon at Lagoon Park
Tennis Center. Both XU teams are ranked 10th, and both
opponents are 22nd.
The Gold Nuggets' victory was their third of the season
against a ranked team. They also snapped a nine-dual losing streak in this
event dating to 2010. The XU men won their second consecutive dual, both against
ranked opponents.
The Gold Nuggets did not lose a set, and Kourtney Howell,
Brion Flowers, Amanda Materre and Simone-Alyse Ewell won in doubles and singles.
Ewell clinched the dual with a 6-0, 6-1 victory against Sandra Munoz Poletti at No. 4
singles, and Materre won for a team-leading seventh time in nine singles matches this semester
in a 7-6 (7-2), 6-1 decision against Anita Racz at No. 3.
Loic Didavi, Nikita Soifer, Kyle Montrel and Viktor
Svoboda won in doubles and singles for the Gold Rush. Svoboda defeated Malhar Mali
6-0, 6-3 at No. 4 singles to put Xavier ahead to stay, 3-2, and Didavi clinched
with his 7-6 (7-5), 6-0 victory against Louis Volclair at No. 1. Didavi and
Montrel, XU's No. 1 doubles team, improved to 8-0 for the semester with
an 8-4 victory against Volclair and Jose Zaatini.
Soifer lost his first set 6-0 to Zaatini at No. 2 singles,
then roared back with 6-4, 6-4 victories.
The XU women are 5-5 — they had dropped four of
their previous five duals — and the men, climbing above .500 for the first
time in nearly three weeks, are 5-4. Cumberland is 0-2, and Coastal Georgia
is 4-3.
The Gold Nuggets will play 16th-ranked Coastal Georgia
at 9 a.m. Saturday at AUM, and the Rush will 11th-ranked Cumberland at 12:30 p.m.
