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)

Nuggets down a notch to 17th; Rush climb to tie for 18th
|
January 9, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's
women are 17th, and the men are tied for 18th in the NAIA Division I coaches
polls announced Monday afternoon.
The polls are the fourth of the 2011-12 season and
the first since Dec. 12. Weekly polls will continue through March 7.
Xavier's women, 4-2 since the previous poll and 11-5
overall, fell one spot in the rankings. The XU men, 4-2 since the previous
poll and 10-4 overall, climbed three places and are tied for their position
with Freed-Hardeman.
All the XU games since the previous poll were on the
road. But Tuesday the Gold Nuggets and Gold Rush will begin five-game
home stands with a doubleheader against Gulf Coast Athletic Conference and
city rival SUNO. The women's game will begin at 5:30 p.m., and the men's
game will start at 7:30.
Xavier will play more GCAC doubleheaders against
Edward Waters on Friday, Fisk on Saturday and Philander Smith next Monday.
Both XU teams won at Philander Smith on Saturday in their GCAC openers.
The Gold Nuggets are in the top 25 for the 22nd consecutive
time. The Gold Rush appear in the top 25 for the 15th time in 16 polls.
Xavier is the only Gulf Coast Athletic Conference school
in either top 25. Tougaloo's men once again are 26th, and they missed
the top 25 by 17 points.
Oklahoma City's women are a unanimous No. 1 for the third
straight poll. In the men's poll unbeaten Oklahoma Baptist replaced Concordia (Calif.) at No. 1.
Concordia dropped to fourth.
Xavier is one of 11 schools, one fewer than the previous
poll, with women's and men's teams in the top 25. The other schools are Azusa Pacific,
Campbellsville, Freed-Hardeman, Georgetown (Ky.), Lee (Tenn.), Lindsey Wilson,
Saint Xavier, Shorter, Southern Nazarene and Robert Morris (Chicago).
