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)

Third-ranked Lee hits the jackpot, defeats Nuggets in 3
August 24, 2012
Box score
CLEVELAND, Tenn. — Irene Ojukwu and Marija Zelenovic,
both honorable-mention NAIA All-Americans a year ago, combined for 29 kills Friday
to lead third-ranked Lee (Tenn.) to a 25-14, 25-16, 25-16 women's volleyball
victory against Xavier University of Louisiana in the Lee Invitational.
The Lady Flames (1-1) had a .506 hitting percentage
— the best against the Gold Nuggets since Xavier reinstated its program
in 2010 — to rebound from a five-set loss to ninth-ranked Indiana Wesleyan
earlier in the day. Ojukwu had 16 kills — six in as many attempts in
the opening set — and hit .667. Zelenovic, the 2011 Southern States
Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year, had 13 kills and hit .524.
Taylor Reuther and Chinedu Echebelem had six kills
apiece, and freshman CeCe Williams had five in her collegiate debut for the
Gold Nuggets (0-2), who dropped their second straight against a ranked opponent.
No. 20 Lindsey Wilson swept Xavier earlier in the day. The Nuggets never
lost consecutive matches in 2011.
Lee overcame deficits of 8-5 in the second set and
8-6 in the third to win for the 108th time in its last 117 matches. The Lady
Flames were an NAIA national semifinalist each of the past three seasons.
Moira Kirk, the 2011 Gulf Coast Athletic
Conference Freshman of the Year, finished with no kills for the first time
at Xavier. She led the Nuggets with three blocks.
Lee limited Xavier to a .136 hitting percentage and
had advantages of 52-22 in kills, 27-20 in digs and 9-2 in aces.
Xavier will play Union (Ky.) in the Nuggets' final
match of the tournament at 3 p.m. EDT Saturday. Union, the defending Appalachian Athletic
Conference regular-season champion, lost in five sets Friday to Olivet Nazarene.
