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)

Streaking Gold Nuggets picked to win another GCAC title
October 17, 2011
|
NEW ORLEANS — No surprise here.
Xavier University of Louisiana, winner of its past 29 games against
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference opponents, was picked first again
in the preseason coaches poll.
The Gold Nuggets received seven first-place votes
and 49 points. SUNO received the other first-place vote and tied with Tougaloo
for second place with 37 points.
It's the ninth time in 10 seasons that the Nuggets finished
in the top two of the coaches poll.
Xavier hasn't lost to a GCAC team since a 59-56
decision at LSU-Shreveport in the semifinals of the conference tournament on
March 6, 2009. The Gold Nuggets went 18-0 in the GCAC regular season and 3-0
in the tournament in 2009-10, then 6-0 in the regular season and 2-0 in the tournament
this past year.
LSUS no longer is in the GCAC, but the conference
expanded from six to eight teams during the summer by adding Philander Smith
and Talladega. All teams will play a double round-robin schedule of 14 games.
Keldra Hall, Jazmoné Kelly and Brandi Young, all seniors,
are returning starters for Xavier, which will travel to SEC member LSU for a 7 p.m. exhibition
on Nov. 2, then open the regular season at 7 p.m. Nov. 4 against Florida
Memorial at The Barn. Hall and Kelly were All-GCAC this past season, and
Young was All-GCAC Tournament. Hall was GCAC Newcomer of the Year.
