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)

BABSON PARK, Fla. — Xavier University of
Louisiana's tennis teams, both ranked eighth in the NAIA, won 15-of-17 matches
played Tuesday and defeated Webber International's men and women in the opener
of a spring-break trip.
The Gold Rush won 6-3, and the Gold Nuggets won 8-1.
Loic Didavi, Nikita Soifer, Kyle Montrel and Viktor
Svoboda won in doubles and singles for the Rush (9-5), as did Kourtney Howell
and Amanda Materre for the Nuggets (9-7). The XU men have won three straight
and 6-of-7.
"Both our teams played well," XU coach Alan Green said.
"The conditions were very tough out there because it was very windy. But we
adjusted well and took care of our business on the court."
Didavi and Montrel defeated Valentin Bayh and Jonathan
Cohen 8-3, their 11th victory in 13 doubles matches this semester. Soifer and
Svoboda improved their win streak to seven with an 8-0 decision against Alwin
Leysner and Nickolay Kodinov.
In singles, Didavi defeated Bayh 6-1, 6-2 for his
seventh consecutive victory. Soifer defeated Kodinov 6-1, 6-3, Montrel beat
Cohen 6-2, 6-2, and Svoboda clinched the dual with a 6-2, 6-0 decision
against Leysner.
The Gold Nuggets won all three doubles matches for the
sixth time this season and snapped three-match losing streaks at the No. 2 and
3 flights. Howell and Brion Flowers defeated Julija Stojkovska and Laura Nowak
8-3, Amber Brown and Simone-Alyse Ewell beat Nathalia Chaddad and Chandler
Reed 8-5, and Materre and Olivia West defeated Holly Parnelll and Ashley
Palmer 8-2.
Materre was first off the court in singles after
beating Chaddad 6-0, 6-2. Howell then clinched the dual with a 6-2, 6-4
decision against Stojkovska at No. 1. Both Howell and Materre are 11-4 in
singles this semester, and Howell has won six of her last seven matches.
West beat Parnell 6-2, 6-1, Jordyn Goody defeated
Reed 6-0, 6-0, and Nicole DeLoach beat Palmer 6-2, 6-0.
Webber International's men are 9-6 — the Warriors
were 28th in the most recent NAIA poll — and the women are 3-13. The Gold
Rush snapped the Warriors' three-dual win streak and gave them their second
loss in the last nine duals. The Lady Warriors have lost four straight.
