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 defeat Wolf Pack for fifth consecutive victory
December 5, 2012
Box score
NEW ORLEANS — Paige Gauthier and Whitney
Gaston-Loyd scored 12 points apiece Wednesday to lead NAIA No. 10 Xavier
University of Louisiana to a 54-44 women's basketball victory against city
rival Loyola at XU's Convocation Center.
The victory was the fifth in a row for the Gold Nuggets
(7-1), who won despite being outscored 6-0 in each half.
Gauthier scored 10 first-half points and gave Xavier
its first lead, 10-8, on a 3-pointer at 12:49 of the first half. The Gold Nuggets
led 35-20 at halftime and took their biggest lead, 48-29, on Danielle Tucker's
3-pointer with 9:28 remaining.
Jasmine Brewer scored 16 points and grabbed seven
rebounds, and Rebekah Greer had 10 points for Loyola (3-6), which lost its
third in a row and its fifth straight on the road. Loyola equaled its loss
total of last season, when it reached the NAIA Division I National Championship.
Xavier outshot Loyola 35.1 to 27.9 percent from the
floor and had a 39-32 rebound advantage. Sophomore guard Talor Hixon grabbed a
season-high-tying eight rebounds to lead the Nuggets for the second time in three games.
Gauthier and Whitney Gathright each made two of Xavier's six 3-pointers.
The Nuggets lead the series 29-6 and have won all 16 meetings at Xavier.
After taking fall semester final exams, the Nuggets will
travel to William Carey for a 6 p.m. game Dec. 14. It will be Xavier's first
road game of the regular season. The next XU home game will be against NAIA No. 13
Bethel (Tenn.) at 2 p.m. on Jan. 2.
