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)

Joseph rallies Gold Rush past Edward Waters in 2nd half
January 5, 2013
Box score
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Wanto Joseph scored 18
points Saturday and led a second-half rally which carried NAIA No. 16 Xavier
University of Louisiana to a 67-58 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference men's
basketball victory against Edward Waters.
It was the conference opener for both teams. Xavier,
the defending GCAC regular-season co-champion, is 13-3 and has won 7-of-8 on
the road. Edward Waters is 2-8.
Joseph, a 5-foor-9 senior guard from New Orleans
and a graduate of O. Perry Walker High School, has scored in double figures in
every game this season. He accounted for all the points — scoring 10
and assisting on a pair of 2-pointers — during a 14-0 run which lasted
5½ minutes and turned a 52-47 deficit into a 61-52 lead with 47 seconds
remaining. Jospeh scored 14 second-half points.
Denzell Erves had 15 points and 10 rebounds for Xavier
— his third consecutive double-double, his 10th of the season and 17th
of his career — Renard Smith scored a career-high 14 points, and Anthony Simmons had
10 points and seven rebounds.
Xavier trailed 32-28 at halftime. Smith,
Simmons and Erves scored six points each for the Rush in the first half.
Nathaniel Hill scored 19 points, 14 in the first half,
for the Tigers.
Xavier outshot Edward Waters 48.9 to 41.4 percent from
the floor — 48 to 28.6 percent in the second half — and outrebounded
the Tigers 33-29. Xavier made six 3-pointers — Smith had a career-high
three, and freshman reserve RJ Daniels made 2-of-3.
It was the second time this season the Gold Rush won
after trailing at halftime. It was the first time the Rush accomplished that
on an opponent's court since December 2010. Xavier won its GCAC opener for
the third consecutive season
Xavier will remain on the road and play Talladega at
7 p.m. Monday. The next Rush home game will start at 5 p.m. next Saturday
against Tougaloo in XU's new Convocation Center.
