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)

For immediate release . . . January 13, 2007
Box Score
NEW ORLEANS — Erica Turnbull scored five of her 15 points in overtime
Saturday, including the go-ahead basket with 34 seconds remaining, to
rally 23rd-ranked Xavier to a 75-70 victory against Loyola in a Gulf
Coast Athletic Conference women's basketball game at The Barn.
Dominee Matthews had 19 points and eight rebounds for Xavier (13-5
overall, 5-0 GCAC), and Jarryn Cleaves had 17 points and nine rebounds and surpassed
1,000 career points. Turnbull grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds, and Rynika Hebert had a
career-best 14 rebounds.
Freshman Trenese Smith scored 29 points for Loyola (8-8, 2-2) before
fouling out with 3:27 remaining in overtime with the Wolfpack leading
67-63. Her twin Trenell scored 16 points.
Xavier scored the final six points after Kimberly Rigg's free throw
gave Loyola a 70-69 lead with 1:37 remaining. After Turnbull's basket,
Cleaves and Brittany Whitmore each made free throws to increase the margin
to 73-70, then Alissa Thompson stole Riggs' inbounds pass in the
backcourt and passed to Cleaves for a layup and the final points.
Turnbull scored the final basket of regulation with two seconds remaing
to tie the score at 63.
Cleaves scored 14 first-half points — including a 3-pointer at
7:07 to give her 1,001 career points — to spark the Gold Nuggets to a 44-29
