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)

MNU drops Gold Rush from ranks of the unbeaten
November 28, 2008
Box score
IRVINE, Calif. — Danny Hawkins scored a
season-high-tying 24 points and grabbed 16 rebounds Friday to lead
MidAmerica Nazarene to a 72-63 men's basketball victory over Xavier
University of Louisiana in the Concordia Thanksgiving Tournament.
Harold Cleveland scored 11 points for Xavier (6-1),
and Shaun Dumas and Devin Andrew had 10 points apiece. Dumas had a season-high
seven steals.
The Gold Rush, No. 14 in Victory Sports Network's NAIA
Division I rankings, trailed by 10 points in the first half but rallied to
take its only second-half lead, 46-45, on a Dumas free throw with 15:32 remaining.
Cal Kiburz scored 17 points for MidAmerica Nazarene
(4-2), which won the NAIA Division II national championship in 2007 and is in
its first season in NAIA Division I.
Xavier committed 15 turnovers and gained 26 —
18 by steals — but was outrebounded 48-29. The Gold Rush was trying to go
7-0 for the first time since 2002-03.
Xavier will play Montana State-Northern, an 86-71 loser
to Concordia in Friday's opening game, at 7 p.m. (5 p.m. PST) Saturday.
