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 Nuggets, Gold Rush roll into finals at NAIA qualifier
April 20, 2013
Results:
Men vs.
SCAD Atlanta
Women vs. Fisk
Women vs. Tennessee Wesleyan
JONESBORO, Ga. — The women's and men's teams of
Xavier University of Louisiana won every contested match Saturday and advanced
to the championship duals of an NAIA unaffiliated group qualifying tournament.
The Gold Nuggets, playing for the first time since
being voted No. 1 in the NAIA on Tuesday, defeated Fisk 7-0 in the quarterfinals
and Tennessee Wesleyan 5-0 in the semifinals. The Gold Rush, ranked fifth,
had a bye in the quarterfinals, then defeated SCAD Atlanta 6-2 in the semifinals.
Xavier (13-7) will play Milligan (9-11) for the men's
championship at 10 a.m. EDT Sunday at Clayton County Tennis Center, then the
Gold Nuggets (16-7) will play 19th-ranked SCAD Atlanta (7-2) for the women's
title no sooner than 1 p.m. Winners will receive automatic bids to next month's
NAIA National Championship at Mobile, Ala.
The Gold Nuggets extended their win streak to eight
duals, their longest streak since 2005. Kourtney Howell and Brion Flowers,
named this week as the ITA's top-ranked NAIA doubles team, extended their win
streak to eight by defeating Fisk's De'Erin Rogan and Raven Ward 8-0 and
Tennessee Wesleyan's Ekaterina Vezhenkova and Tatum McMahon 8-0. Teammate
Amanda Materre also was in a zero-tolerance mood; she defeated Fisk's Latrice
Cooper 6-0, 6-0, then beat Tennessee Wesleyan's Bridget Malone 6-0, 6-0.
Amber Brown won 6-0, 6-0 against Jayden Morrison to
clinch the Tennessee Wesleyan dual. It was Brown's fourth consecutive singles
victory, a season best for her.
The Gold Rush again defaulted at No. 3 doubles and
No. 6 singles because of five available players but won the other two doubles
matches and four times in singles. Viktor Svoboda and Nikita Soifer won for
the 12th time in their last 13 doubles matches with an 8-1 decision against
Denzel Hollis and David Paull, and Kyle Montrel beat Alex Maeda 6-0, 6-1 for
his 12th victory in his last 14 singles matches.
Soifer clinched the dual with a 6-4, 6-2 singles
victory against Michael Vea. The XU men have won three straight and 11 of their
last 14 duals.
The Rush reached the championship round of a
conference/unaffiliated group tournament for the 11th consecutive season.
The Nuggets reached the final for the 11th time in 12 seasons. Both Xavier
teams won this event a year ago.
