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)

Xavier sets record with seventh consecutive road victory
September 22, 2012
Box score
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Xavier University of Louisiana
defeated Trinity Baptist 25-7, 25-15, 25-15 Saturday to set a women's volleyball
school record with its seventh consecutive road victory.
Taylor Reuther and freshman Claudia Haywood combined
for 22 kills and a .724 hitting percentage for the Gold Nuggets (7-4), who
have not lost on the road since opening day Aug. 24. Reuther hit .647 and
served six aces, and Haywood hit .833 — the best by a Gold Nuggets player
since the program resumed in 2010 — on a season-best 10 kills and no errors
in 12 attacks.
Xavier also set a school record with its third consecutive
victory on an opponent's court.
The Gold Nuggets' 17 aces matched their season high.
Patrice Smith had a career-high four aces, and CeCe Williams and Franziska Pirkl
served three apiece. Xavier hit .450 and had a 35-13 advantage in kills.
Every XU kill was assisted, and Pirkl had 32, her most
in a three-set match this season. Smith, who entered with seven digs
in six matches, led the Nuggets with eight.
Xavier served nine first-set aces — four during
an 8-1 run to open the match; three during a 7-0 run which ended the set.
Reuther produced two aces and two kills during a 10-2 run to end the second
set, and Xavier completed the sweep despite a 5-2 deficit in the third.
Moira Kirk scored the Gold Nuggets' final four points, three by kills.
The Gold Nuggets will visit city rival SUNO for a
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference match at 7 p.m. Monday. Both teams are 1-0
in the GCAC, and SUNO has a nine-match win streak.
