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 climb 2 places to 18th in NAIA coaches poll
|
March 7, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
climbed two places to 18th in the NAIA Division I Women's Basketball Coaches'
Top 25 Poll announced Wednesday.
The Gold Nuggets (25-8) — winner of the Gulf Coast
Athletic Conference regular-season and tournament championships and the
GCAC's automatic berth to the NAIA Division I National Championship —
earned their highest rank since Jan. 30, when they were 17th. It's the highest
rank for the XU women entering the national tourney since 2005, when they
were 15th.
Xavier is in the top 25 for the 30th consecutive time
dating to January 2010. It's the longest top-25 streak for the Nuggets since
34 straight polls from Jan. 13, 2003-March 8, 2005.
Talladega, the GCAC regular-season and tournament
runner-up, received four points to rank 33rd.
The national tournament will begin next Wednesday at
Frankfort, Ky., with eight first-round games. The other eight first-round games will be played
the following day.
