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)

NEW ORLEANS — Marcus Yeager scored 23 points Saturday, including four

Kelechi Okoroha's basket with 6:19 remaining gave Xavier its only lead

stay 29 seconds later with a 3-pointer. Yeager hit three more treys, the
last with 1:22 remaining to make it 49-42, and finished with a
season-high seven.
Xavier shot a season-low 28.9 percent from the floor, including 2 of 18

Mobile snapped Xavier's eight-game home winning streak.
Xavier's next game will start at 7:30 p.m. Monday against GCAC member
and fifth-ranked LSU-Shreveport.
