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 earn highest rank in final NAIA poll since 2005
|
March 26, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
climbed two places to 16th in the NAIA Division I Women's Basketball Coaches'
Postseason Top 25 Poll announced Monday. It's the Gold Nuggets' best position
in the final poll of a season since ranking 15th in 2005.
Xavier (26-9) earned its second consecutive two-place climb
after beating then-16th-ranked Southern Nazarene 74-67 in the opening round
of the national tournament March 15 at Frankfort, Ky. Second-ranked Union
(Tenn.), the tournament runner-up, eliminated the Gold Nuggets the following
night with a 58-43 decision.
Xavier is in the top 25 for the 31st consecutive time
dating to January 2010. It's the Nuggets' longest top-25 streak since
34 straight polls from Jan. 13, 2003-March 8, 2005.
The Gold Nuggets were 16th in the preseason poll on
Oct. 24. Their highest position was 15th on Jan. 23, and their lowest was
21st on Feb. 13.
National champion Oklahoma City was No. 1 for the
seventh consecutive poll and the 10th time in 13 polls this season.
NOTES: Xavier was the only school to win
a first-round game against a higher-ranked opponent at nationals in 2011
and 2012 . . . Tourbeau Sports Group is selling
videos of the Gold Nuggets' two games at the national tournament for $20.95
