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 appeared in 44 consecutive NAIA Coaches' Top 25 Polls
from February 25, 2004, through March 8, 2011, and climbed as high as ninth on March 7, 2007.
Six of Green's last eight XU teams reached the national tournament, and 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 2012-13 season is Green's 10th as coach. His Gold Nuggets
have compiled a record of 136-98 (.581) in dual matches, including 65-1 in the GCAC regular season
and 23 victories against NCAA Division I opponents.
This past season (2011-12) the Nuggets
qualified for nationals by upsetting 17th-ranked Martin Methodist 5-2 in the championship
match of an NAIA unaffiliated group tournament.
Green has coached three first-team NAIA All-Americans at XU:
Dominique Bell in 2007, Anastesia Opata in 2008 and Kourtney Howell in 2012.
Green also is Xavier's men's tennis coach. His
Gold Rush teams won five consecutive GCAC Tournament championships from 2005-10
and qualified each of the past four years for the NAIA National Championships.
The Gold Rush in 2012 became the first XU team in 39 years to reach the national
quarterfinals in any sport.
Of the 31 female and male senior student-athletes to play
for Green, 26 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 Coach of the Year in 2009 and the men's
Coach of the Year in 2009, 2011 and 2012.
Green, 40, 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.
