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 announce 2012 schedule, await new digs
|
August 8, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Nine home matches and a new campus
venue, the Convocation Academic Center,
are among the highlights of the 2012 Xavier University of Louisiana women's
volleyball schedule.
Christabell Hamilton — the 2011 Louisiana Coach of the
Year and Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Co-Coach of the Year — announced
Wednesday the schedule, which includes 24 regular-season contests.
Xavier's first home match will start at 7 p.m. on Sept. 4
against crosstown rival Loyola. That match is expected to be played at The Barn,
Xavier's gymnasium since 1937, while construction of the CAC nears completion.
"We've been told to prepare to start the season at
The Barn," Hamilton said. "But at some point this season we will be playing in
the new arena. No matter where we play, we're looking forward to another successful and
exciting year."
Xavier's other non-conference home opponents will be
Spring Hill — 40-3 a year ago — on Sept. 11, Mobile on Sept. 18 and
Belhaven on Oct. 29. The other five home matches will be against GCAC
teams: Edward Waters on Oct. 5, Dillard on Oct. 8, Tougaloo on Oct. 25,
Talladega on Oct. 27 and SUNO on Nov. 1.
Xavier will begin its fifth season Aug. 24-25 in the Lee Invitational
at Cleveland, Tenn. On opening day the Gold Nuggets will play a pair of 30-match winners
and NAIA National Championship qualifiers from 2011 — Lindsey
Wilson at 12:30 p.m. EDT and national semifinalist Lee at 7 p.m. —
then play defending Appalachian Athletic Conference regular-season champion
Union (Ky.) the following day at 3 p.m.
"Lee's tournament will be a great test for us," Hamilton
said.
Xavier will play 10 GCAC regular-season matches,
including the first four on the road. The conference opener will be
Sept. 21 at Edward Waters. The GCAC Tournament will be Nov. 8-10 at Little
Rock, Ark., and the winner will earn the GCAC's automatic bid to the NAIA National Championship.
Xavier will play four additional matches in New
Orleans: Sept. 24 at SUNO, Oct. 19 against Union (Tenn.) and Loyola in the
Hampton Inn Wolfpack Classic at The Den and Nov. 3 at Dillard in the regular-season finale.
Xavier was 23-7 in 2011 — the Gold Nuggets' first
winning season — and didn't lose a match en route to the program's first GCAC regular-season
and tournament championships. Five starters return, including all-conference sophomores Taylor Reuther,
Moira Kirk and Chinedu Echebelem. The other returning starters are junior Kerris
Crier and sophomore Jeanay Butler.
The Gold Nuggets will report to Xavier this weekend
and conduct their first practice Monday.
