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 defeat Dillard in three sets at The Barn
October 8, 2012
Box score
NEW ORLEANS — Chinedu Echebelem and
Taylor Reuther had 14 kills apiece Monday, leading Xavier University of Louisiana to a 25-20,
25-12, 25-22 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference women's volleyball victory
against city rival Dillard at The Barn.
The Gold Nuggets (12-4, 6-0 GCAC) have a seven-match
win streak and 20 consecutive victories against conference opponents over the
last two seasons. They beat the Lady Bleu Devils (3-6, 2-5) in three sets
for the first time.
Carolyn Baker had 17 kills for Dillard.
Xavier trailed 15-12 in the first set before taking
the leading for good with a 7-2 run which included two Reuther kills. An
Echebelem kill put Xavier ahead to stay, 10-9, in the third set.
"I'm so proud of our team," XU coach Christabell
Hamilton said. "We wanted them to serve tough, ball control and
take advantage of the free balls. They executed the game plan."
Echebelem and Reuther each hit .423 in 26 attacks.
Echebelem equaled her career high in kills, and she had 10 digs to tie Reuther for the team lead in double-doubles
this season with five. Reuther, the NAIA leader in aces per set, served
four more against Dillard and has 27 aces in the last seven matches.
Darian Harris led Xavier with 11 digs, and
Franziska Pirkl assisted on 36 kills.
Xavier outhit Dillard .309 to .229 and had advantages
of 44-28 advantage in kills, 7-5 in aces and 35-25 in digs. The Gold Nuggets
hit at least .300 for the fourth consecutive time and the sixth time in
their last seven matches.
Dillard leads the series 7-5, but Xavier has won the last five meetings.
The Gold Nuggets will play another city rival, Loyola,
in a non-conference match at 7 p.m. Wednesday at The Barn.
