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 — Cecily "CeCe" Williams, a 5-foot-6 outside hitter
from Houma, La., and Vandebilt Catholic High School, is Xavier University of Louisiana's
second women's volleyball signee for the 2012 season.
Williams signed an XU scholarship Wednesday afternoon at
her school.
Williams was chosen to The Courier/Daily Comet All-Region first team
in 2011 and was all-district for the third consecutive year.
She helped lead the Lady Terriers this past season to a 34-10 record, the District 5-III
championship and, for the third straight year, the semifinals of the state tournament.

"CeCe is very athletic, explosive at the net, and has
good ball control in the back row," Xavier coach Christabell Hamilton said.
"She definitely will raise the competitiveness of our team."
Williams' club team, Blue Crab Volleyball of
New Orleans, will compete in the USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championships this summer.
Williams also started for two years on Vandebilt's
basketball varsity. As a sophomore she was second-team All-District 8-4A and
scored 13 points in the Lady Terriers' 70-51 victory against Jennings in
the 4A state championship game.
Two of Williams' cousins, Kristen Brown-Frank and
Allison Williams-Betts, played women's basketball for Xavier. Williams'
2011 volleyball coach at Vandebilt, LaTashia Wise, also played basketball
for the Gold Nuggets.
"Xavier is a really good school in my major (speech
pathology)," Williams said. "My family wanted me to go to Xavier.
And it's close to home."
Middle blocker Jodi Hill of Prairieville, La., and
Dutchtown High School signed with Xavier on Feb. 16.
Xavier was 23-7 in 2011, won the Gulf
Coast Athletic Conference regular-season and tournament championships and
qualified for the NAIA National Championship.
