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)

GCAC honors Fakler, Rolland, Kennie, Materre, Montrel
April 8, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of
Louisiana collected five Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Athlete/Performer
of the Week awards Monday: Catherine Fakler in women's outdoor track,
Devinn Rolland in women's outdoor field, Christopher Kennie in men's
outdoor field, Amanda Materre in women's tennis and Kyle Montrel in
men's tennis. All were honored for performances from April 1-7.
Fakler, a sophomore from Phoenix, Ariz., and a graduate
of Xavier College Preparatory Roman Catholic High School, was a double-winner
Friday in the Mississippi College Twilight Invitational at Clinton, Miss.
She recorded personal bests of 4 minutes, 48.87 seconds in the 1,500-meter run
and 18:23.24 in the 5,000. This is Fakler's first GCAC weekly award in track
after winning twice in cross country this past fall.
Rolland, a sophomore from Harvey, La., and a graduate of
Cabrini High School, reached the NAIA Championships A-qualifying standard in the long jump
for the fourth time in five meets. She placed third out of 19 competitors at Mississippi College with a season-best
of 5.77 meters (18 feet, 11¼ inches). She also ran the second leg of the 400-meter relay
which placed sixth in 47.99 and reached the NAIA A-standard. This is her fifth GCAC
field award of the season; she's also won the track award twice.
Kennie, a freshman from New Orleans and a graduate of Holy Cross High School,
earned his second GCAC award after a season-best 7.03 meters (23 feet, 0¾ inches) in the long jump which
placed him fifth out of 22 at Mississippi College. He is the No. 5 NAIA performer in that event this outdoor season.
Materre, a sophomore from Richmond, Texas, and
a graduate of Westside High School, won her second GCAC award of the season
after going 2-0 in singles and 2-0 in doubles in the Gold Nuggets'
dual-match victories against NAIA No. 2 William Carey and No. 3 Auburn
Montgomery. Materre won 6-3, 6-2 on the road Friday against
William Carey's Maja Vuzem, the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's 22nd-ranked
singles player. Materre is ranked 39th.
Montrel, a freshman from Atlanta and a graduate of
Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy, was 2-0 in singles and 2-0 in doubles
against No. 6 William Carey and No. 1 Auburn Montgomery. The Gold Rush
won 5-4 at Carey, and Montrel's
6-1, 6-4 victory against Robin Semal tied the dual at 4.
This is the third time this season Montrel has won the GCAC award,
which matches the conference's season record set by XU's Terry Richardson in 2009 and
tied by XU's Zach Taylor in 2011 and 2012 and teammate Viktor Svoboda a week ago.
Xavier will be the host school for the GCAC
Championships on Saturday at Tad Gormley Stadium in New Orleans. It's a one-day
meet with field events starting at 8:45 a.m. and track events beginning at
9:30. The XU men's tennis team will conclude its regular season with an 11 a.m.
Sunday dual against Jackson State at the new XU Tennis Center. The Gold
Nuggets have nothing else on their regular-season schedule, but
coach Alan Green said that could change.
