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 retain
No. 1 rank in NAIA coaches poll
|
April 30, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
held on to its No. 1 ranking Tuesday in the NAIA Women's Tennis Coaches' Top 25
Poll.
The Gold Nuggets (17-7) received 8-of-12 first-place votes
and 308 points. They were 3-0 since the previous poll on April 16; all the victories occurred
in an NAIA unaffiliated group tournament, which Xavier won for the second
consecutive year.
Prior to the April 16 poll, no Xavier team in any sport had
been ranked first in an NAIA coaches poll.
No. 2 Auburn Montgomery, a 6-3 loser to the Gold Nuggets on
April 6 at the new XU Tennis Center, received the other four first-place votes
and 305 points. Brenau collected 293 points and dropped from second to third
after losing 5-2 to AUM in the championship dual of the Southern States
Athletic Conference Tournament on April 20.
AUM's climb from third was the only change among
the top 13 teams.
Xavier is 10-0 this season against ranked NAIA opponents; all
the losses were to NCAA Division I teams. The Gold Nuggets have clinched a berth
in the NAIA National Championship, which will begin May 14 at Mobile, Ala. The
final poll before nationals will be announced Monday.
