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 Nuggets drop to 19th, Rush still 25th in NAIA polls
|
February 7, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — The Xavier
University of Louisiana women's basketball team dropped two places to 19th
in the NAIA Division I coaches poll. The XU men are 25th for the second consecutive week.
The polls, the eighth of the season, were announced
late Monday afternoon, just before Xavier's doubleheader at SUNO.
The Gold Nuggets are in the top 25 for the 26th consecutive
time. The Gold Rush appear in the top 25 for the 19th time in 20 polls.
Xavier, a 62-59 loser at William Carey in its only
game of the past week, fell two spots for the second consecutive week.
The Gold Rush, a 63-47 winner against William Carey and a 75-69 winner against
New Orleans this past week, share 25th place with The Master's, which fell from 13th.
Oklahoma City's women and the men of Robert Morris (Chicago)
are the top-ranked teams.
The only other ranked GCAC school is Tougaloo, which
is 19th in the men's poll and climbed two places.
Xavier is one of nine schools
with women's and men's teams in the top 25. The other schools are Azusa Pacific,
Georgetown (Ky.), Lee (Tenn.), Lindsey Wilson, MidAmerica Nazarene, Shorter,
Westmont and Southern Nazarene.
Xavier swept SUNO — the Nuggets won 67-55, the Rush
won 73-62 — and will play a GCAC doubleheader at Talladega starting at 5 p.m. Saturday.
Both Xavier teams will play Tougaloo next Monday in their final competition at
The Barn, XU's 75-year-old gymnasium. A 4,500-seat facility, which is still under
construction, will become the home of XU basketball and women's volleyball next season.
