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)

For third straight season, Nuggets picked 1st in GCAC
October 3, 2012
|
NEW ORLEANS — The women's basketball coaches
of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference expect Xavier University of Louisiana
to do it again.
The Gold Nuggets have been picked to repeat as GCAC
champions, based on a coaches poll announced Wednesday. It's the third straight
year that Xavier is the top preseason choice.
Returnees for the Gold Nuggets in 2012-13 include
senior guard SiMon Franklin, the team's leading scorer this past season and
the MVP of the GCAC Tournament, and No. 3 rebounder Carmen Holcombe, a junior forward.
The season will begin in early November, and 14th-year coach Bo Browder hopes
to announce the schedule by the end of this week.
The Gold Nuggets received seven first-place votes
and 49 points. Talladega received the other first-place vote and was
second with 42 points. Xavier beat Talladega 58-50 this past season to win its third
consecutive GCAC Tournament.
It's the 10th time in 11 seasons that the Nuggets finished
in the top two of the coaches poll.
Xavier will attempt to reach 20 victories for
the 12th consecutive season, which would extend a school record, and for the
20th time in 21 seasons. The Gold Nuggets also will try to qualify for the NAIA Division I
National Championship for the fourth consecutive year and the 17th time in 19 seasons.
Xavier is 44-2 against GCAC opponents since the start of the 2009-10 season.
