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)

Dumas delivers another double-double
For immediate release . . . February 12, 2007
Box Score
NEW ORLEANS — Shaun Dumas had 14 points, 10 assists, four steals and
a career-best seven rebounds Monday to lead Xavier to a 68-53 Gulf Coast Athletic
Conference men's basketball victory against NAIA No. 18 SUNO at The Barn.
The victory kept Xavier (17-7 overall, 10-4 GCAC) atop the conference standings.
For the first time in 20 years, Xavier has 10
consecutive conference victories. It's the 12th time that the Gold Rush has
produced a winning streak of 10 or more games in one season — the second time in the last 19
seasons. It's also the first since 2000-01 that Xavier recorded four
consecutive double-digit victories in the GCAC.
Dumas recorded his fourth point-assist double-double of the winning streak. He
leads the GCAC in steals and assists per game and ranks second and fourth, respectively,
in NAIA Division I.
Mark Stewart scored 16 points and Olumide Olafioye 11 for the Gold
Rush, which led 32-27 at halftime after outscoring SUNO 15-0 in the first
five minutes.
SUNO scored the second half's first basket to cut the margin to 32-29, but
the Knights (11-10, 9-6) got no closer. Xavier held a double-digit for the
final 4:45 and limited SUNO to its third-fewest points in this 81-game series
and its feswest since the 1992-93 season.
Marcus Scott scored 19 points and Kevin Thomas 16 for SUNO and James
Hudson grabbed 15 rebounds. Xavier limited Willie Chaney,
who entered the game with an NAIA Division I-leading .578 3-point
field-goal percentage, to 1-of-6 from behind the arc.
Xavier outshot SUNO 42 to 35 percent from the floor.
Xavier's next game will start at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at second-place
LSU-Shreveport — the first of four consecutive road games to
close the regular season. The Rush needs one victory in its final four games to clinch
a first-round bye in the GCAC Tournament, which will begin Feb. 27.
