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 earn 11 points, tie for 34th in national poll
|
October 10, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — The off-again, on-again support
continues for Xavier University of Louisiana in the NAIA Women's Cross Country
Coaches' Top 25 poll.
The Gold Nuggets did not collect a vote this past week,
but they received 11 points in the newest poll announced Wednesday. They're
tied for 34th place with the same ranking and votes as two weeks ago.
It's Xavier's best national ranking since the 2008 preseason.
For the season, the XU women have received votes
in the second, fourth and sixth polls — but none in the first, third
and fifth.
Xavier made another legitimate claim for votes
Friday when it earned its second victory of the season. The Gold Nuggets won
the non-NCAA Division I scoring of the Mississippi College/Watson Ford
Invitational at Clinton, Miss. It's the first time since 2008 that the
Nuggets won two regular-season meets.
Both Xavier teams are idle this week, but the Gold Nuggets
and Gold Rush will return to Clinton on Oct. 20 for the Gulf Coast Athletic
Conference Championships. Both teams seek a seventh consecutive league title.
And XU sophomore siblings Kwame and Zahri Jackson are the defending individual
champions.
Three-time defending national champion Cal State
San Marcos is No. 1 in the poll for the second consecutive week and the fourth
time this season.
