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)

Franklin, a 5-foot-7 senior guard from Baton Rouge, La.,
and a graduate of St. Joseph's Academy, averaged 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and three steals
in two games at the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic in
Montgomery, Ala. She had 25 points — 16 in

Franklin produced 10 points and three steals Friday in a 63-47 victory against Belhaven.

reach 1,000 in a career. Franklin began the season 29th on XU's career list and has climbed to 22nd
with 924 points. In 21st place is Alisheian Graham (1999-2003) with 944 points.
Xavier, 9-2 and ranked ninth in NAIA Division I, will play 12th-ranked
