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 — Jodi Hill, a 5-foot-9 middle blocker
from Prairieville, La., and Dutchtown High School, is Xavier University of Louisiana's
first women's volleyball signee for the 2012 season.
Hill signed an XU scholarship Thursday afternoon at
her school.
Hill was a Baton Rouge Advocate All-Metro selection
as a senior and junior. In 2011 she had 391 kills and 83 blocks to help
the Griffins reach the second round of the Division I (Class 5A) state playoffs.
Hill had 387 kills and 111 blocks her junior season.

She was first-team all-district as a junior and
senior and second-team all-district as a
sophomore. Hill helped Dutchtown
reach the state quarterfinals in 2010 and the second round in 2009. Her match
highs include 23 kills and 14 blocks, both recorded in the same contest her
senior year.
"I'm very excited about Jodi coming to Xavier," XU coach
Christabell Hamilton said. "I'm really impressed by her
physique and her athleticism. She will add depth to our team.
She's also a great young lady from a great family. She's very respectful.
She's going to fit right in with our Xavier volleyball family."
Hill plays club ball for Louisiana Volleyball Baton Rouge.
She plans to major in political science at Xavier and attend law school after
graduation. Her great grandmother was an XU graduate.
Xavier's Gold Nuggets were 23-7 in 2011, won the Gulf
Coast Athletic Conference regular-season and tournament championships and
qualified for the NAIA National Championship.
