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)

November 28, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Whitney Gaston-Loyd,
Xavier University of Louisiana's leading scorer during a 3-0 week which
included back-to-back victories against ranked teams, has been chosen
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Player of the Week in women's basketball for Nov. 19-25.
Gaston-Loyd, a 6-foot junior center from Shreveport, La.,
and a graduate of Southwood High School, won the award after
averaging 10.7 points and shooting 60.9 percent from the floor.
Her basket with 6.3 seconds remaining Nov. 19 gave Xavier a 46-45 victory against NAIA No. 19
LSU-Shreveport. Her basket with 14:24 remaining Thursday put Xavier ahead to stay
and started an 11-2 run which carried the Gold Nuggets to a 46-38 victory against
NAIA No. 14 Langston in the Xavier Classic. The following day she played just nine minutes
in an 84-39 victory against Texas College but made 5-of-5 from the floor to share team
scoring honors. For the week she scored 32 points in 56 minutes.

The victories against LSUS and Langston marked the first
time in Bo Browder's 14 seasons as head coach that the Gold Nuggets defeated ranked teams
in consecutive regular-season games.
Through seven games, Gaston-Loyd is averaging 8.1 points, 2.7 rebounds,
1.1 steals and 18 minutes and is shooting 52.1 percent from the floor and 63.6 percent from
the line. She leads the Gold Nuggets in field-goal accuracy and is tied for second in scoring.
Gaston-Loyd is in her first season at Xavier after playing for NCAA Division I member
Arkansas-Little Rock the past two seasons.
Xavier, 6-1 and ranked 11th in NAIA Division I, will play city
rival Loyola next Wednesday (Dec. 5) at 5:30 p.m. at XU's new Convocation Center. It will
be a doubleheader that day, with the Xavier and Loyola men meeting at 7:30.
