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)

Gold Nuggets second in GCAC basketball coaches poll
October 7, 2009
|
NEW ORLEANS — The Xavier University of Louisiana
women's basketball program is in a familiar spot: near the top of the
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference preseason coaches poll.
The Gold
Nuggets — who qualified for the NAIA Division
I National Championship 13 of the past 15 seasons — are second in the
2009-10 poll, which was announced Wednesday. They received two first-place votes
and finished in the top two for the seventh time in eight seasons.
Loyola, the three-time defending regular-season champion,
finished first in the poll and received seven first-place votes. The Nuggets
will play Loyola on Jan. 25 at The Barn and Feb. 18 at Loyola.
Xavier was 23-9 in 2008-09 and finished third
behind Loyola and LSU-Shreveport in the GCAC regular season.
The Nuggets will open the regular season at 5 p.m. Oct. 30 against
Talladega in the Port City Tip-Off Classic at Mobile, Ala.
The first home game will be a Nov. 7 exhibition against the
New Orleans Lady Hurricanes, and the first regular-season home game
will be Nov. 9 against LeMoyne-Owen.
The Nuggets return 11 letterwomen from this
past season, including seniors Brittany Powell — an honorable-mention
NAIA Division I All-American — and LaTashia Wise
