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)

Rush, Nuggets defeat Jackson State; qualifier is next
April 14, 2013
Results:
Men
Women
JACKSON, Miss. — Kyle Montrel's 5-7, 6-2, 6-3
decision against Jose Luque clinched Xavier University of Louisiana's 4-3
men's tennis victory against Jackson State on Sunday.
Xavier's women extended their win streak to six duals
with a 5-2 victory against Jackson State.
It was the regular-season finale for both XU teams.
The Gold Rush (12-7), ranked eighth in the NAIA, and the Gold Nuggets (14-7),
ranked sixth, will compete Friday and Saturday in an NAIA unaffiliated group
tournament at Jonesboro, Ga. Winners will receive automatic berths to next
month's NAIA National Championships.
Montrel, a freshman, won for the 11th time in his last
13 singles matches and earned his second dual-clinching victory of the season.
Jackson State tied the dual at 3 when Carlos Martinez beat Nikita Soifer 6-4,
6-0 at No. 2 singles.
Loic Didavi and Viktor Svoboda also won in singles.
Svoboda and Soifer clinched the doubles point with an 8-6 decision against
Luque and Ernesto Morales. Svoboda and Soifer won for the 11th time in their
last 12 doubles matches.
In the women's dual, the Gold Nuggets and won the
final three singles matches to break at tie at 2. Freshman Brion Flowers
clinched for the first time this season; she beat Harshini Reddy 6-2, 7-6 (7-0)
at No. 2 singles.
Also winning in singles for Xavier were Kourtney Howell,
Amber Brown and Vashni Balleste. Howell beat Karen Martinez 5-7, 6-3, 1-0 (10-4)
at No. 1, and Brown — playing at No. 3 for the first time this season
after spending most of her time at No. 5 — beat Rebekah Adewumi 6-0, 6-2.
The Nuggets clinched the doubles point when Nicole
DeLoach and Jordyn Goody beat Laura Rojas and Adewumi 8-5. It was the first
victory this season for that pairing, and it was Goody's first doubles victory
since Feb. 17.
The dual victories were the Rush's fourth of the season
and the Nuggets' third against NCAA Division I opponents. The XU women played
Jackson State for the first time in four years.
Pairings for the unaffilated group tournaments will be
announced Monday. New NAIA coaches polls will be announced Tuesday, and XU
coach Alan Green expects his women — who are 9-0 against ranked opponents
and have victories against No. 2 William Carey and No. 3 Auburn Montgomery —
to climb to first or second. The Nuggets have won 10 of their last 12 duals,
including their last five on the road.
