Continued Success:
   •   Seven of the last nine XU women's teams qualified for the NAIA National Championship. The Gold Nuggets qualified in 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013, and the first five teams all won first-round matches.
   •  XU won seven of eight Gulf Coast Athletic Conference championships (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010). There was no GCAC title awarded in 2011, 2012 or 2013, but the Nuggets added to their titles when they won NAIA unaffiliated group championships in 2012 and 2013.
   •   The Gold Nuggets were in the NAIA top 25 for 44 consecutive polls from February 2004-March 8, 2011. The streak did not include 2006, when Xavier did not compete due to the effects of Hurricane Katrina.
  •   Six consecutive seasons (2004-10) the Gold Nuggets were in the final NAIA top 25. They appeared in the final top 25 in seven of the past eight seasons.
   •   The Gold Nuggets had a 54-dual GCAC regular-season win streak. It began after a 5-4 loss to Spring Hill on April 13, 2002, and it ended February 6, 2010, when they lost 5-4 at Mobile. Xavier has won 12 straight since Mobile, giving the Nuggets 66 victories in their last 67 GCAC regular-season duals.
   •   XU's women have 25 victories against NCAA Division I opponents the last nine seasons.
   •   Six consecutive XU teams included the GCAC Player of the Year — Dominique Bell in 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008 and Anastesia Opata in 2009 and 2010. The GCAC had no all-conference tennis awards in 2011, 2012 or 2013.
