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)

Unbeaten Gold Rush are ninth in NAIA Division I Top 25
|
December 13, 2010
NEW ORLEANS — Unbeaten Xavier University of Louisiana
moved from 10th to ninth in the NAIA Division I Men's Basketball
Coaches' Top 25 on Monday.
It's the highest rank for the XU men since
Feb. 13, 2008, when they were eighth. It's the first time since the 2003-04
season that the Gold Rush made the top 10 in consecutive polls.
Xavier (10-0) won 85-66 at Loyola
in their only game of the past week. It's the first time since 1983-84
and just the second time since World War II that the XU men won their
first 10 games.
Coupled with XU's No. 15 rank in the women's poll,
it's the first time since Feb. 3, 2004, that both XU basketball teams
are ranked in the top 15. Xavier is one of three NAIA Division I schools —
the others are Westminster (Utah) and Azusa Pacific — with both
basketball teams in the top 15 this week.
Xavier's men will play twice before Christmas: 4 p.m. Saturday
at William Carey, which received votes in the poll, and 7 p.m. next Monday
at NCAA Division I Southern University. The next Gold Rush home game will start at 7:30 p.m.
Jan. 6 against Concordia of Alabama.
