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)

Rush fall to No. 6 in final poll before national tournament
|
May 6, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
dropped one place to sixth Monday in the final NAIA Men's Tennis Coaches' Top 25 Poll
before the national tournament.
The Gold Rush (14-7) traded places with Bethany (Kan.)
after ranking ahead of the Swedes in the previous two polls. Bethany edged
Xavier by one point.
Still, it's the highest ranking entering next week's NAIA National
Championship for the XU men, who were seventh before the 2012 tournament
and eighth in 2011. The No. 5 ranking in the previous two polls was the
highest in the program's history.
The Gold Rush, in the top 10 for the 19th consecutive time,
clinched one of 13 automatic berths to the national tournament by winning an unaffiliated group tournament in
April. The NAIA announced the 24-team field Monday and will reveal
pairings by 5 p.m. CDT Tuesday. Xavier is expected to receive a first-round
bye and play in the second round at 9 a.m. on May 15. All matches will be
played in Mobile, Ala., at Copeland-Cox Tennis Center, the tournament venue
for the 10th consecutive year.
