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 drop three places to 12th in NAIA poll
|
January 15, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — After more than 40 days and
three consecutive appearances in the top 10, Xavier University of Louisiana
dropped three places to 12th Tuesday in the NAIA Division I Women's Basketball
Coaches' Top 25 Poll.
Voting was based on games through Sunday.
Xavier lost 63-56 at home to SUNO — the Gold Nuggets' second consecutive
Monday defeat — to fall to 12-4 overall and 2-2 in the Gulf Coast
Athletic Conference. One week earlier, the Nuggets lost 68-65 at Talladega.
Nevertheless, the Gold Nuggets are in the top 25 for the 36th consecutive time
dating to Jan. 25, 2010.
Xavier was one of four teams from last week's top 10
to drop, including Lubbock Christian, top-ranked in the first four polls
of the season but No. 2 after its 79-68 home loss Thursday to defending
national champion Oklahoma City. OCU climbed from sixth to fourth.
The Gold Nuggets will complete a four-game home stand
with GCAC games against Philander Smith at 2 p.m. Saturday and Fisk at 3 p.m. Monday.
Both games will be played at XU's new Convocation Center, and they'll
follow XU men's games against those same schools.
The next poll will be announced Jan. 22.
