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)

Nuggets earn highest NAIA preseason rank since 1997
|
October 23, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
was 11th in the NAIA Division I Women's Basketball Coaches'
Preseason Top 25 Poll announced Tuesday. It's the Gold Nuggets' highest
preseason ranking since 1997, when they were seventh.
Xavier, 26-9 in 2011-12, is in the top 25 for the 32nd consecutive time
dating to January 2010. It's the Nuggets' longest top-25 streak since
34 straight polls from Jan. 13, 2003-March 8, 2005. It's their
highest national ranking since Feb. 15, 2005, when they were 15th.
The Gold Nuggets will visit LSU in a 7 p.m. exhibition Nov. 1,
then open the regular season at 3 p.m. on Nov. 3 against Johnson & Wales (Fla.)
in XU's Convocation Center. The XU women conducted their first practice
in the new facility Tuesday evening.
Five of the Nuggets' first 12 games will be against NAIA
teams in the preseason top 25 — No. 5 Westminster (Utah) at home Nov. 17,
No. 19 LSU-Shreveport at home Nov. 19, No. 14 Langston at home Nov. 22, No. 25 Faulkner in
the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic at Montgomery, Ala., on Dec. 29 and
No. 22 Bethel (Tenn.) at home Jan. 2.
Xavier will attempt to win 20 games for the 12th consecutive
season, which would extend a school record
