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)

Xavier finishes third again in GCAC all-sports standings
June 29, 2009
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
again placed third out of 10 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference schools in competition
for the Thomas Howell Cup, the league's all-sports award.
The cup, named for the GCAC commissioner, is awarded to the school with the
highest number of points based on the order of finish in GCAC-sponsored
sports. Additional points are awarded to schools participating in NAIA-sanctioned
sports in which there is no GCAC competition.
It's the fourth consecutive time that Xavier finished third in the
standings, and it's the university's fifth consecutive top-three finish.
Xavier scored 34½ points as a result of four first-place finishes (men's cross country,
women's cross country, men's tennis regular season, women's tennis regular season),
a third-place finish (women's basketball regular season) and a tie for fourth (men's basketball regular season).
Mobile scored 42 points to win the Thomas Howell Cup for the fifth consecutive time and a GCAC-record
18th time overall. Belhaven was second with 36½ points.
Xavier has won 17 GCAC team championships and earned 12 berths in
NAIA national championships during its past four seasons.
