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)

Talladega defeats ninth-ranked Gold Nuggets 68-65
January 7, 2013
Box score
TALLADEGA, Ala. — Arielle George scored 12 of her
17 points in the second half Monday to lead Talladega to a 68-65 Gulf Coast
Athletic Conference women's basketball victory against NAIA No. 9 Xavier
University of Louisiana.
George made a season-high-tying five 3-pointers, three
in the second half, to help the Lady Tornadoes (6-6 overall, 2-0 conference)
give the Gold Nuggets (11-3, 1-1) a rare GCAC defeat.
Megan Iloff scored 13 points for Talladega, and Ryann
Drear had 11. SiMon Franklin scored 18 points, all in the second half, for
Xavier, and Whitney Gaston-Loyd scored a career-high-tying 13 points.
Talladega led 25-22 at halftime, then scored the most
second-half points, 43, by a Xavier opponent this season. Xavier's defense
allowed its most points and most 3-pointers (8) in a game this season.
Xavier made six 3-pointers, two apiece by Franklin and
Paige Gauthier. It was the third consecutive game that Gauthier made multiple
3-pointers.
The loss was the third in 40 GCAC regular-season games
for Xavier in four years. Talladega is responsible for two of the defeats,
including a 68-62 decision at Talladega last season.
Xavier's next game will start at 3 p.m. Saturday against
Tougaloo at XU's new Convocation Center. It will be the Nuggets' first GCAC
game in the 3,937-seat facility, which opened Nov. 3.
