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)

February 28, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's
Keldra Hall, SiMon Franklin and Jasmine Grant were named Tuesday to the 2011-12
All-Gulf Coast Athletic Conference women's basketball team. XU's Bo Browder
was a repeat selection as Coach of the Year.
|
The eight GCAC head coaches chose the 16-player
team.
Hall, a 6-foot senior center from Dallas
and a graduate of Molina High School and Angelina College, is All-GCAC for
the second straight season. She averaged 10 points and shot 51.2 percent from
the floor and blocked 18 shots, all team bests, in 30 regular-season games.
She averaged 6.3 rebounds.
Franklin, a 5-7 junior guard from Baton Rouge, La.,
and a graduate of St. Joseph's Academy, averaged 9.8 points, 2.4 rebounds
and 2.1 steals and shot 45.6 percent from the floor in 30 games.
Grant, a 5-8 senior guard from Shreveport, La., and a
graduate of Southwood High School, averaged 9.4 points and 2.2 assists in 30
games and made 66 3-pointers. She overcame a knee injury which sidelined her
the final 26 games this past season to rank 15th in NAIA Division I in
3-pointers made and among the top 50 in 3-pointers made per game, 3-point
accuracy and assist/turnover ratio.
Browder, 320-110 in 13 seasons at Xavier, is GCAC Coach
of the Year for the third consecutive season and the fifth time overall. His
Gold Nuggets (22-8) won the GCAC regular-season championship by a game over
Talladega and have been ranked in the top 25 all season.
Xavier, two-time defending champion of the GCAC
Tournament, will play Fisk at 10 a.m. EST Thursday in the quarterfinals at
Jacksonville, Fla.
