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)

Reuther, Kirk, Williams produce timely hits to sweep PCC
September 7, 2012
Box score
JACKSON, Miss. — Taylor Reuther, Moira Kirk and
CeCe Williams combined for 28 kills and a .556 hitting percentage Friday to
lead Xavier University of Louisiana to a 25-15, 25-20, 25-8 women's volleyball
victory against Pensacola Christian in the Belhaven Tournament.
The victory was the second in a row for the Gold
Nuggets (2-2), who will play Mississippi College at 5 p.m. Friday in its
second of four tournament matches.
Reuther had 10 kills, a .529 hitting percentage in 17
attacks, 14 digs and three aces. Kirk and Williams each had nine kills and
one error in 14 attacks for a .571 hitting percentage. Williams, a freshman,
recorded a season high for kills.
Xavier produced 47 kills and hit a season-best .344 —
.509 during the final two sets — in its first match in 13 days. The Gold
Nuggets were off seven straight days because of Hurricane Isaac, which made landfall
on the Louisiana coast Aug. 28. They resumed practice Sunday but
postponed a Tuesday match against city rival Loyola.
Williams had four first-set kills to lead the Nuggets,
and freshman setter Franziska Pirkl had two kills and two aces during a 9-2 run which extended
Xavier's lead to 17-9. Another freshman, Darian Harris, had nine digs and finished
with 12 to reach double figures for the second consecutive match.
Reuther and Kerris Crier had four kills apiece in the
second set. Kirk had seven kills in eight swings in the third set, and Reuther
served three aces. In the final set Xavier scored seven of the first eight points
and closed with a 12-1 run which included three kills apiece from Kirk and Reuther.
Williams ended the match with a kill.
It was the season opener for Pensacola Christian, a member of the National
Christian College Athletic Association, and the first meeting between the schools.
