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)

XU achieves highest pre-Christmas rank of Browder era
|
December 11, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — For the second consecutive week,
Xavier University of Louisiana climbed one spot in the NAIA Division I Women's Basketball Coaches'
Top 25 Poll. The Gold Nuggets are ninth, their highest pre-Christmas ranking
in Bo Browder's 14 seasons as head coach.
This is the third poll of 2012-13 and the second
of the regular season. The next poll will be announced Jan. 8.
The Gold Nuggets (7-1) defeated city rival Loyola
54-44 at the Convocation Center on Wednesday in their only game between polls.
Xavier's next game will start at 6 p.m. Friday at William Carey, where the
Nuggets lost each of the last two seasons.
Xavier is in the top 25 for the 34th consecutive time
dating to January 2010. That matches the longest streak of the Browder era.
The back-to-back top-10 appearances are the first since the Nuggets did it
in five consecutive polls from Jan. 11-Feb. 8, 2005.
William Carey will be Xavier's final opponent before
Christmas. Then the Nuggets will play Dec. 28 against Belhaven and Dec. 29 against
24th-ranked Faulkner in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic at Montgomery, Ala. The
Nuggets' next home opponent will be No. 12 Bethel (Tenn.), starting at 2 p.m. on Jan. 2
in the new Convocation Center.
