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)

Svoboda repeats as player of the week; West wins her 1st
April 1, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of
Louisiana's Viktor Svoboda is the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Player of the
Week in men's tennis for March 25-31, and XU's Olivia West won the women's
tennis award.
Svoboda is the first Gold Rush tennis player to
win the conference award in consecutive weeks since Terry Richardson in 2009.
The junior from Kamenice, Czech Republic, and graduate of Vitezna Plan High
School was 3-0 in singles and 2-1 in doubles during Xavier's spring-break trip
to Florida. His singles victory clinched Xavier's dual victory against Webber
International. His victory against Embry-Riddle's Miguel Lopez Gomez extended
his singles win streak to eight.

It's the third time this season that Svoboda won the
GCAC award, which matches the conference's season record set by Richardson in
2009 and tied by Zach Taylor in 2011 and 2012.
West, a sophomore from Humble, Texas, and a
graduate of Atascocita High School, won the GCAC award for the first time.
She had her best week of the season, going 2-0
in singles and 3-0 in doubles in Florida. West's three-set victory against
Melanie Snowberger at No. 6 singles clinched Xavier's 6-3 victory against
NAIA No. 14 Northwood. The Gold Nuggets also defeated No. 7 Embry-Riddle.
West entered the week with season records of 2-5 in singles and
1-4 in doubles. Against Embry-Riddle, West helped Xavier earn its second-ever
road victory against a top-10 team and first since 2005 — and Xavier became
the first NAIA women's opponent since 2009 to win at Embry-Riddle.
Both XU teams will play at 3 p.m. Friday at William
Carey and 2 p.m. Saturday against Auburn Montgomery at the new XU Tennis
Center. All the XU opponets are ranked among the top six in the NAIA.
Both Xavier teams are ranked eighth, and new coaches polls will be
announced Tuesday.
