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)

NEW ORLEANS — SiMon Franklin scored 15 points
Tuesday to lead NAIA No. 11 Xavier University of Louisiana to a 58-53 women's

The Gold Nuggets (6-1), who have a four-game win streak,
led for the final 33 minutes.

season-high five steals. Franklin scored nine points in the second half.
