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)

NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's
Matt Pieri became the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference's all-time leader with his ninth
Runner of the Week award, and Taylor Reuther collected her third Player of the
Week honor in women's volleyball.
The conference announced late Monday the honors, which
cover competition from Sept. 26-Oct. 2.
Pieri, a junior from New Orleans and a graduate of
Brother Martin High School, ran Xavier's fastest 8,000 meters — 26 minutes, 51.1 seconds —
since Farris Gransberry set the school record of 25:54 in
|
1998. Pieri broke a tie with Spring Hill female Kate Imwalle for the conference mark.
Pieri won the award once as a freshman, five times as a sophomore and three times this season.
Pieri placed 21st out of 98 runners Saturday in the Gulf
Coast Stampede at Pensacola, Fla., and led the Gold Rush to fifth place out of 13 schools.
Reuther, a freshman from Metairie, La., and a graduate of
St. Mary's Dominican High School, is the first XU volleyball player to
be GCAC Player of the Week three times. Reuther produced kill-dig double-doubles
in both of the Gold Nuggets' matches, including 19 kills and a season-high 21 digs
Saturday in a 24-26, 25-16, 25-12, 25-18 victory at defending GCAC Tournament
champion Dillard. It was the first time in 29 tries that Xavier won on an
opponent's floor after losing the first set.
Xavier's next cross country meet will be the University
of Dallas Invitational at Irving, Texas, on Saturday morning. Xavier's volleyball team,
winner of nine of its last 10 matches, will play NCAA Division I opponents at The Barn on consecutive days —
7 p.m. Wednesday against the University of New Orleans and 5 p.m. Thursday
against Prairie View A&M. It will be Breast Cancer Night at the UNO match,
with raffles for prizes and proceeds donated to Susan G. Komen for the CureŽ,
the global leader of the breast cancer movement.
