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)

Smith's career-high 26 leads Gold Rush past Tougaloo
January 12, 2013
Box score
NEW ORLEANS — Renard Smith scored a career-high
26 points and made a Convocation Center-record-tying six 3-point field goals
Saturday in NAIA No. 16 Xavier University of Louisiana's 85-75 Gulf Coast
Athletic Conference men's basketball victory against Tougaloo.
The Gold Rush (15-3 overall, 3-0 GCAC) have won four
in a row and remained in a first-place tie in the conference with Philander
Smith, a 75-72 winner at Edward Waters.
Smith made three consecutive 3-pointers during a 14-0
run in the final five minutes of the first half to erase Tougaloo's largest
lead, 26-23. Xavier led 40-34 at halftime and 61-43 after a Denzell
Erves basket with 12:07 remaining.
Erves, the reigning GCAC Player of the Week, had 15
points and 10 rebounds. It was his fourth double-double in five games, his
11th of the season and the 18th of his career. Wanto Joseph had his second
double-double of the season, 14 points and a career-best 13 assists. Anthony
Simmons scored 11 points and grabbed seven rebounds.
Juan Gray had 21 points, six assists and five steals
for Tougaloo (3-10, 1-2). Cordaryl Campbell scored 20 points, and Denzel
Hardy had 15 points and five assists.
Smith made 6-of-9 3-pointers to tie the Convocation
Center men's record set by Jarvis Christian's Chris Davis against Spring Hill
in the Big Easy Classic on Nov. 10.
Joseph produced the most assists in a game by a Gold
Rush player since Shaun Dumas had 13 on New Year's Eve against Wiley in 2006.
Joseph also set a Convocation Center men's record for assists in a game.
Xavier shot 51.9 percent from the floor —
65.2 percent in the second half — and limited the Bulldogs to 41.9 percent.
The Gold Rush outrebounded Tougaloo 41-25.
Xavier will continue a four-game GCAC home stand at 7:30
p.m. Monday against city rival SUNO, which is tied for third place in the
conference with Talladega and a game behind the leaders.
