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 Rush hang on to program's highest-ever rank, No. 5
|
April 30, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
is fifth for the second consecutive time in NAIA Men's Tennis Coaches' Top 25 Poll
announced Tuesday. It's the highest rank in the program's history.
The Gold Rush (14-7) are in the top 10 for the 18th
consecutive poll, in the top 15 for the 24th consecutive time and in the top 25 for the 48th consecutive time. The XU men
clinched their fifth consecutive automatic berth in the NAIA National Championship
with a 6-2 victory against Milligan in the final of an NAIA
unaffiliated group tournament at Jonesboro, Ga., on April 21. The national tournament will
begin May 14 at Mobile, Ala.
The top six teams are the same as in the previous
poll, which was announced April 16. Embry-Riddle (Fla.) is No. 1 for the
second consecutive poll and extended its lead over No. 2 Auburn Montgomery
from one to 11 points. The Eagles collected 9-of-12 first-place votes
after receiving 5-of-13 two weeks ago. AUM received one first-place
vote, and unbeaten and No. 3 Vanguard received two.
The final poll before the national tournament will be announced Monday.
