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 climb to 19th; Rush 25th for fourth straight week
|
February 20, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — The Xavier
University of Louisiana women's basketball team climbed two places to 19th in
the NAIA Division I coaches poll. Xavier is 25th in the men's poll for the fourth
consecutive week.
The polls, the 10th of the season, were announced
Monday afternoon before Xavier's Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
doubleheader at Fisk.
The Gold Nuggets are in the top 25 for the 28th consecutive
time. The Gold Rush appear in the top 25 for the 21st time in 22 polls.
Both XU teams were 2-0 this past week. The Gold Nuggets (20-8)
won 52-46 at home against Tougaloo and 60-53 at Edward Waters. The Gold Rush (20-7)
rallied from 16 down to beat Tougaloo 67-61, then won 68-57 at Edward Waters.
The Tougaloo doubleheader was the final night of XU
basketball at The Barn. A 4,500-seat arena, which is still under construction,
will replace XU's 75-year-old gymnasium next season.
The Rush failed to climb despite a victory against
Tougaloo, which entered the game 18th. Yet Tougaloo climbed one place to 17th.
Oklahoma City's women and Oklahoma Baptist's men
are the top-ranked teams. Oklahoma City was a unanimous No. 1 for the fourth straight
week, and Oklahoma Baptist replaced Shorter at the top.
Receiving votes for the second straight week
was GCAC newcomer Talladega, whose women collected 10 points, five more than
a week ago, and are 33rd.
Xavier is one of 10 schools
with women's and men's teams in the top 25. The other schools are Azusa Pacific,
Campbellsville, Columbia (Mo.), Georgetown (Ky.), Lee (Tenn.), Rogers State, Shorter,
Southern Nazarene and Westmont. A week ago there were 11 such schools.
Both XU teams will close the regular
season Saturday at longtime city and GCAC rival Dillard, then travel to Jacksonville,
Fla., for the GCAC Tournament on March 1-3.
