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 21st, Rush still 25th in NAIA polls
|
February 14, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — For the third straight week the Xavier
University of Louisiana women's basketball team dropped two places
in the NAIA Division I coaches poll. The Gold Nuggets are 21st, their lowest
rank of the season.
The XU men are 25th for the third consecutive week
despite collecting 13 fewer points than in the previous poll.
The polls, the ninth of the season, were announced
Monday afternoon before Xavier's Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
doubleheader against Tougaloo — the final
basketball games at The Barn. Xavier then swept the doubleheader, with the
Gold Nuggets winning 52-46 and the Gold Rush rallying from 16 down for
a 67-61 victory. The latter result may give the Rush a bump in next week's
voting, because Tougaloo was 18th — up one spot — in the poll.
The Gold Nuggets are in the top 25 for the 27th consecutive
time. The Gold Rush appear in the top 25 for the 20th time in 21 polls.
This past week the Gold Nuggets won 67-55 at SUNO
and lost 68-62 at Talladega. The Gold Rush won 73-62 at SUNO and lost 84-64
at Talladega.
Oklahoma City's women and Shorter's men
are the top-ranked teams. Oklahoma City was a unanimous No. 1 for the third straight
week, and Shorter replaced Robert Morris (Chicago) at the top.
Also receiving votes for the first time this season
was GCAC newcomer Talladega, whose women collected five points and are 32nd.
Xavier is one of 11 schools
with women's and men's teams in the top 25. The other schools are Azusa Pacific,
Columbia (Mo.), Cumberlands, Georgetown (Ky.), Lee (Tenn.), Lindsey Wilson, MidAmerica Nazarene, Shorter,
Southern Nazarene and Westmont. A week ago there were nine such schools.
Xavier will travel to Jacksonville, Fla., for a GCAC
doubleheader against Edward Waters on Saturday.
