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 climb to No. 8 — their highest ranking ever
|
March 19, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
climbed two places Tuesday to eighth — the Gold Nuggets' highest
ranking ever — in the NAIA Women's Tennis Coaches'
Top 25 Poll.
The Gold Nuggets (8-6) topped the previous program
record of ninth place on March 7, 2007. It's the third time the XU women
have been in the top 10 and the second consecutive poll they've been there.
Xavier won 4-of-5 dual matches since the March 5 poll,
including victories against top-25 members Cumberland, Coastal Georgia and
Campbellsville in the AUM Invitational at Montgomery, Ala.
Starting with the 2012 postseason poll, when they moved from 20th to 19th, this is the
fifth consecutive time that the Gold Nuggets have climbed. They were 13th
in the preseaason, moved to 11th on Feb. 19 and to 10th two weeks ago.
This is the highest NAIA ranking by an XU women's team since basketball
was eighth on Feb. 25, 2003.
Both XU teams will play at the University of New
Orleans at 3 p.m. Wednesday, then play three duals in Florida next week
during spring break. For the Gold Nuggets, that will include matchups with
No. 7 Embry-Riddle and No. 14 Northwood. The Nuggets are 5-0 this season
against ranked NAIA opponents. Their home finale will be April 6 against
No. 3 Auburn Montgomery.
