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)

No coach in the history of Xavier University of Louisiana has produced
a longer run in the NAIA top 25 rankings or more victories at the NAIA National Championships
than women's tennis coach Alan Green.
Green's Gold Nuggets have been in every NAIA Coaches' Top 25 Poll
since ranking 18th on February 25, 2004, and they climbed as high as ninth on March 7, 2007. Five of Green's
last six XU teams, including the last three, reached the national tournament —
and all five won first-round matches.
Those are the highlights of a resumé which includes six
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Tournament championships, 54 consecutive regular-season victories
in GCAC dual matches and six straight appearances in the final NAIA top 25.
The 2010-11 season is Green's eighth as coach. His Gold Nuggets
have compiled a record of 125-58 (.683) in dual matches, including 63-1 in the GCAC regular season
and 23-16 against NCAA Division I opponents.
This past season (2009-10) the Nuggets were 17-14, won the GCAC
Tournament for the second straight year and the seventh time in their last eight finals
and kept their NAIA National Championships first-round streak alive with a come-from-behind
6-3 victory against 17th-ranked Indiana Wesleyan.
Green has coached two first-team NAIA All-Americans at XU:
Dominique Bell in 2007 and Anastesia Opata in 2008.
Green also is Xavier's men's tennis coach. His last five
Gold Rush teams — 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2005 — were GCAC Tournament champions.
Green's men also are perfect in the first round at the NAIA National Championships,
beating Union (Ky.) in 2009 and Tennessee Wesleyan in 2010.
Of the 25 female and male senior student-athletes to play
for Green, 21 received degrees from Xavier or are still enrolled. In 2009 men's
tennis standout Terry Richardson became the first Xavier athlete to be selected
to an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District first team by the College Sports
Information Directors of America.
Green was been GCAC women's and men's Coach of the Year numerous
times and was All-Louisiana women's and men's Coach of the Year in 2009.
Green, 37, is a New Orleans native and has two Xavier degrees.
He earned his bachelor's degree in 2002 and his master of arts in counseling in May 2008.
Green was a tennis standout at XU and the GCAC men's singles champion his senior year, 2002.
Soon after his graduation, Xavier hired him as men's and women's tennis coach to replace Charles Mosley.
