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 Rush drop three spots to 13th in NAIA coaches poll
|
February 14, 2011
NEW ORLEANS — A loss to another ranked team
from the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference caused Xavier University of Louisiana
to drop from 10th to 13th in the NAIA Division I Men's Basketball Coaches'
Top 25 announced Monday.
The Gold Rush, a 91-77 loser Saturday at Tougaloo,
lost ground in the rankings for the first time in five weeks. Tougaloo took
advantage of the victory, its 12th in 13 games, and climbed to its highest
position of the season, 19th.
Xavier's other game last week was a 65-54 victory
at Spring Hill.
Xavier's ranking is its lowest since Jan. 10,
but the Gold Rush have not been any lower in the eight regular-season polls.
XU was 20th in the preseason.
The XU men (23-3) will play their final regular-season
road game Thursday at Mobile, then close with three straight games at The Barn,
beginning with GCAC, HBCU and city rival SUNO at 7 p.m. Saturday.
Robert Morris (Chicago) is No. 1 for the fourth straight
week, again edging Concordia (Calif.) by three points for the top spot.
There are four teams in the top 25 that weren't there last week: McKendree, Emmanuel (Ga.),
Westminster (Utah) and St. Catharine. McKendree is in the top 25 for the first
time since being No. 8 in the preseason, and the other three were there in January.
