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' second-half rally knocks out Belhaven
December 28, 2012
Box score
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Xavier University of Louisiana's
women's basketball team used a second-half run Friday to rally past Belhaven
63-47 in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic at Huntingdon College's Roland Arena.
Andraquay Quinnine scored 12 points and SiMon Franklin
10 for the Gold Nuggets (9-1), ranked ninth in NAIA Division I. It was Xavier's
seventh consecutive victory and its third in a row by double digits.
Belhaven (5-7) held its biggest lead, 38-29, after
Alisha Rayborn's layup with 15:55 remaining. But Xavier gained 14 turnovers
while outscoring the Blazers 30-4 during the next 13½ minutes. Reserve freshman
guard Emoni Harvey scored all seven of her points during the burst, including
a jump shot in the paint with 9:13 remaining to put the Nuggets ahead to stay, 42-40.
Eight Nuggets scored during the run, with Quinnine and
Danielle Tucker each getting six points.
Ashley Wakefield, with 15 points, was Belhaven's lone
double-figure scorer. Sarah Carr made 3-of-4 3-pointers, and Wakefield scored
eight points to lead the Blazers to a 27-23 halftime advantage. But Carr was
scoreless in 19 second-half minutes.
Belhaven outshot Xavier 40.5 to 39.1 percent from the
floor, but the Nuggets outshot the Blazers 50 to 43.8 percent in the second half.
Xavier had a 40-32 rebound advantage, committed 17 turnovers and gained 25.
The Nuggets made six free throws — their second fewest of the season —
in 10 attempts, and Belhaven was 10-of-21.
It was the first time this season that Quinnine and
Franklin produced double-figure points in consecutive games. It was Xavier's
first game since a 62-42 victory at William Carey two weeks ago.
Xavier, which entered the event leading NAIA D-I in
scoring defense, allowed less than 50 points for the third consecutive game
and the seventh time this season. It was the first time this season that the
Nuggets won after trailing at halftime.
The Nuggets matched their second-best 10-game start
of the Title IX era. Xavier was 10-0 in 1980-81 and 9-1 in 2010-11 and 2004-05.
Xavier will play NAIA No. 24 Faulkner in the final game
of this event at 9 p.m. Saturday. Faulkner lost 72-55 to 21st-ranked Georgetown (Ky.) on Friday.
