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 win by 54 in Convocation Center debut
November 3, 2012
Box score
NEW ORLEANS — Andraquay Quinnine scored 12 points
Saturday, all on 3-pointers, to lead NAIA No. 11 Xavier University of Louisiana
to an 88-34 victory against Johnson & Wales (Fla.) in the first women's
basketball game at XU's Convocation Center.
The game followed the XU men's 80-66 victory against
Morehouse. A blessing and ribbon-cutting of the 3,937-seat facility preceded the
doubleheader. The Convocation Center replaces The Barn, a gymnasium which opened
in 1937 and seats 1,300. Attendance for the women's game was approximately 1,000.
Quinnine made a pair of 3-pointers during a 19-0 run
which gave Xavier a 21-2 lead in the eighth minute. Quinnine was one of five
newcomers to score during the run.
The Gold Nuggets (1-0) led 45-15 at halftime and took
their largest lead, 82-25, after Etheral Lesene's basket with 6:40 remaining.
Chelsea Broussard scored 10 points, and Paige Gauthier
and Paige Rochelle scored nine apiece for Xavier. Newcomer Talor Hixon led the Gold
Nuggets with six rebounds and six assists.
Myia Russell had 14 points and eight rebounds for Johnson &
Wales (0-4), and Shikina McMillan scored 11. The Lady Wildcats lost by 50 or more points
for the second consecutive day.
Xavier outshot the Lady Wildcats 46.1 to 22.9 percent from the floor and
outrebounded them 50-34. The Gold Nuggets committed 19 turnovers and gained 35.
The winning margin was the Nuggets' largest since
a 99-43 home decision against Concordia (Ala.) on Nov. 23, 2009. It was the
Nuggets' largest winning margin in an opener since an 87-27 home victory against
Wiley on Nov. 9, 2002.
Xavier's next game will be Nov. 13 at 6 p.m. against
Spring Hill at the Convocation Center.
