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)

Nuggets
No. 1 again; national tournament is next week
|
May 6, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's
women's tennis team will enter next week's NAIA National Championship as
the No. 1 team.
The Gold Nuggets (17-7) received nine first-place
votes Monday, one more than this past week, to edge two-time defending champion
Auburn Montgomery by five points in the final poll before the national
tournament. It's the third consecutive poll that Xavier
has been No. 1. This is the first Xavier team in any sport to be ranked
atop an NAIA poll.
The Gold Nuggets were 13th in the preseason poll
and climbed to No. 10 — the first of six consecutive top-10
appearances — on March 5.
Also Monday, the NAIA announced the field for the
national tournament. The Gold Nuggets were one of 24 women's teams chosen; they
were one of 13 automatic qualifiers after winning an unaffiliated
group tournament in April. SCAD Atlanta, a 5-3 loser to Xavier in the
championship dual of that event, received an at-large berth.
The NAIA will announce tournament pairings by 5 p.m.
CDT Tuesday. The Gold Nuggets will have one of eight first-round byes
and play in the second round at 1 p.m. on May 15. The Copeland-Cox Tennis
Center in Mobile, Ala., will be the tournament site for the 10th consecutive year.
