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 Rush remain eighth in the NAIA coaches poll
|
April 2, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
remained eighth Tuesday in the newest NAIA Men's Tennis Coaches'
Top 25 Poll. It's the 16th consecutive top-10 appearance for the XU men
— a streak which began in May 2011 — and their 19th in the last
20 polls.
Xavier (10-6) won 3-of-4 dual matches since the March 19 poll,
including road victories against NCAA Division I New Orleans and
Northwood (Fla.), which is ranked 15th in the NAIA. The Gold Rush have
five victories this season against teams in this week's top 25 —
also No. 9 Cumberland, No. 14 Belhaven, No. 17 Oklahoma Baptist and No. 20
Webber International — and three against NCAA D-Is.
This the 46th consecutive
Gold Rush appearance in the top 25. That streak began with the poll of
April 4, 2007.
Xavier has four losses against top-7 teams,
and two will face the Rush this week in rematches. Xavier will travel to
Hattiesburg, Miss., to play No. 6 William Carey at 3 p.m. Friday, then
the Rush will play No. 1 Auburn Montgomery at 2 p.m. Saturday at the new XU Tennis
Center. AUM defeated Xavier 5-4 on March 10 on the final day of the
AUM Invitational. AUM's score included two matches Xavier defaulted
because of insufficient players.
