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)

No. 8 Rush make 15th consecutive top-10 appearance
|
March 19, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
climbed two places Tuesday to eighth in the NAIA Men's Tennis Coaches'
Top 25 Poll. It's the 15th consecutive top-10 appearance for the Gold
Rush, a streak which began in May 2011.
Xavier (7-5) won 3-of-4 dual matches since the March 5 poll,
including victories against top-25 members Coastal Georgia and Cumberland
in the AUM Invitational at Montgomery, Ala. The loss was 5-4 at Auburn Montgomery,
this week's No. 1 team. Xavier won 4-of-7 matches on the court against AUM
but forfeited matches at No. 3 doubles and No. 6 singles because of only
five available players.
No. 8 is a familiar spot for the XU men, who have
been ranked there in 10 of the last 19 polls. This the 45th consecutive
Gold Rush appearance in the top 25.
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 Rush, that will include matchups with
No. 2 Embry-Riddle and No. 15 Northwood. Xavier also will play Webber
International, which received votes Tuesday and was 20th in the first two polls this
season. Auburn Montgomery will visit Xavier on April 6.
