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)

Nuggets win by 20 in first road game of regular season
December 14, 2012
Box score
HATTIESBURG, Miss. — Andraquay Quinnine and
SiMon Franklin scored 13 points apiece Friday to lead NAIA No. 9 Xavier
University of Louisiana in a wire-to-wire 62-42 women's basketball victory
against William Carey.
It was the first road game of the regular season for
the Gold Nuggets (8-1), who won their sixth in a row and snapped a two-game
losing streak at William Carey (6-5).
Quinnine's points were a season high, and it was the
fourth time she scored in double figures. Franklin led Xavier with seven points
during a 25-3 run which covered both halves and lasted nearly 10 minutes.
Whitney Gaston-Loyd's two free throws with 14:03 remaining capped the run and
gave the Nuggets their largest lead, 48-22.
Xavier's Chelsea Broussard scored 10 points, all in
the first half, to equal her career best. Her final basket gave the Nuggets
a 31-20 halftime lead.
Amber Jackson, with 12 points, was William Carey's only
double-figure scorer. Xavier limited the Lady Crusaders' leading season scorer,
Vechatita Bonner, to a season-low four points in 23 minutes.
Xavier outshot William Carey 41.7 to 33.3 percent from
the floor. The Nuggets reached 40 percent for the first time since their opener.
Xavier committed 18 turnovers and gained 33, 22 by steals. Quinnine, Franklin
and Paige Gauthier each had four steals, and Carmen Holcombe had three.
Xavier, which entered the game No. 2 in scoring defense
in NAIA Division I, allowed less than 50 points for the sixth time this season.
William Carey scored its fewest points this season and lost for the first time
in five games.
Xavier, a 62-59 and 60-51 loser in its previous two
trips to William Carey, improved its series lead to 49-21. The teams will meet
again Jan. 31 at Xavier's new Convocation Center.
It was the Nuggets' first game since the conclusion of
semester exams earlier in the day, and it was their final game before
Christmas. Their next games will be Dec. 28 against Belhaven and Dec. 29
against NAIA No. 24 Faulkner in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic at Montgomery,
Ala. The Nuggets' next home game will start at 2 p.m. against NAIA No. 12
Bethel (Tenn.) on Jan. 2.
