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)

Friday's first-day schedule at Clayton County Tennis Center was moved to Saturday.
For the Gold Rush, ranked fifth in the NAIA and two-time defending champion
of this event, that still means a bye in the quarterfinals and
a semifinal dual against fourth-seeded SCAD Atlanta or fifth-seeded Reinhardt
no sooner than 2 p.m. EDT. Xavier's women,
ranked first in the NAIA
and the 2012
champion of this event, will play no sooner than 11:30 a.m. EDT
against Fisk in the quarterfinals. If the Nuggets advance, they'll play
Columbia (S.C.) or Tennessee Wesleyan in the semifinals no sooner than 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
The championship duals will be played Sunday. Meet director
Glen Hill, the SCAD Atlanta men's and women's tennis coach, wrote in an email
to participating schools that an early simultaneous start of the men's and women's finals
is possible to help with return travel. That could be a blessing for the Rush
and Nuggets, who will try to make it home in time for Xavier's athletics award
banquet Sunday night.
The men's and women's tournament champions will receive automatic
berths in the NAIA National Championship, which will be played May 14-18 at Mobile, Ala.
