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 bust Union, collect first victory of season
August 25, 2012
Box score
CLEVELAND, Tenn. — Xavier University of Louisiana
got double-doubles from Taylor Reuther (14 kills, 20 digs) and Chinedu Echebelem
(12 kills, 14 digs) in a 25-20, 25-23, 18-25, 25-16 women's volleyball victory
Saturday against Union (Ky.) in the Lee Invitational.
The Gold Nuggets (1-2) tied for third place in the
six-team season-opening tournament with Lindsey Wilson and Olivet Nazarene.
Indiana Wesleyan (4-0) was the lone unbeaten team.
Reuther, who had 13 double-doubles as a freshman in 2011,
also served four aces in the matchup of defending regular-season conference
champions. Echebelem produced her second double-double of the season and her
fourth in two years.
Moira Kirk hit .417 and had 13 kills, five digs and four
blocks for Xavier, and Darian Harris had 20 digs, eight in the second set. CeCe
Williams had 12 digs and three kills, and setter Franziska Pirkl had 43 assists,
nine digs, three kills and three aces. Kerris Crier had six kills.
Harris, Williams and Pirkl are freshmen.
"We had great energy," said XU coach Christabell Hamilton,
whose team lost in straight sets Friday to ranked NAIA teams Lindsey Wilson and Lee,
"and our ladies looked like they enjoyed themselves on the court."
Williams clinched the first set with a kill. The Nuggets
rallied from a 21-17 deficit in set two with a pair of Reuther aces and Kirk's
clinching ace. Kirk had six kills and Echebelem four in the final set.
Xavier outhit Union .166 to .138 and led 52-44 in kills,
82-77 in digs and 9-1 in aces. Cat Neumann had 14 kills, and Caity Merritt and
Paige Moore had nine apiece for Union (0-3).
Xavier's next match will be its home opener —
7 p.m. on Sept. 4 against city rival Loyola at The Barn.
