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)

20th-ranked Lindsey Wilson stymies Nuggets in opener
August 24, 2012
Box score
CLEVELAND, Tenn. — Kailey Moorhead's 12 kills and
Kristi Hager's 27 digs Friday helped NAIA No. 20 Lindsey Wilson defeat
Xavier University of Louisiana 25-16, 25-23, 25-7 in the women's volleyball
season opener for both teams at the Lee Invitational.
The Blue Raiders limited Xavier's two best offensive
players of a year ago, Taylor Reuther and Moira Kirk, to a combined six kills
and a minus-.070 hitting percentage. Kirk's two kills were the fewest of her
XU career, and Reuther's minus-.091 hitting percentage — four kills and
seven errors in 33 attack attempts — was her worst.
Chinedu Echebelem recorded her third career double-double
at Xavier, 12 kills and 12 digs. Freshman Alexis Clay had 17 digs.
Echebelem had seven kills in the second set to help
the Gold Nuggets build a 20-16 advantage. But Lindsey Wilson scored six of the next
seven points to take the lead for good, and Taylor Hayne closed the set with a kill.
Lindsey Wilson's Angela Mlachnik served all four of her aces during a
16-3 run to open the third set.
"We played really well in the second set," XU coach
Christabell Hamilton said. "The first set we were a little nervous, and the third
one we lost all momentum because we couldn't pass at all. We are very young and still
trying to find a lineup that works and get used to each other on the court."
Four of the eight Nuggets who played were freshmen. Franziska
Pirkl started at setter and had 20 assists and five digs, Claudia Haywood had four kills
and two blocks, and Darian Harris had five digs in their collegiate debuts.
Lindsey Wilson outhit Xavier .264 to .069 and had advantages
of 42-26 in kills, 60-51 in digs and 9-0 in aces.
It was the first time Xavier opened the season against
a ranked opponent. The Gold Nuggets will play another ranked team, No. 3 Lee,
at 7 p.m. EDT Friday.
