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)

10-minute burst pushes Nuggets past Lady Panthers
January 19, 2013
Box score
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
used a 10-minute first-half run Saturday to earn a 65-47 Gulf Coast Athletic
Conference women's basketball victory against Philander Smith.
Andraquay Quinnine scored 13 points and SiMon Franklin
12 to lead the Gold Nuggets (13-4 overall, 3-2 GCAC), who are ranked 12th in
NAIA Division I and bounced back from a Monday home loss to SUNO. The Lady
Panthers (10-10, 1-4) have lost four in a row.
Philander Smith led 4-0 through the first two minutes,
then the Gold Nuggets took control with a 24-2 burst in which they gained 18
turnovers, 12 by steals. Franklin scored eight points and capped the run with
a basket to give Xavier a 24-6 lead at 8:07.
Xavier led 33-14 at halftime and maintained its
double-digit lead throughout the second half -- but the Nuggets never led by
more than 22, the last time after Whitney Gaston-Loyd's basket made it 56-34
with 7:44 remaining.
Gaston-Loyd had nine points and blocked two shots.
Talor Hixon had six of Xavier's 26 steals, and Paige Gauthier led the Nuggets
with seven rebounds and four assists.
Quinnine did not score until two free throws at 4:07
of the first half, and she made three 3-pointers in an 11-point second half.
The Gold Nuggets are 6-0 this season when Quinnine leads the team in scoring.
Rubyunnia McHenry led Philander Smith with 15 points,
11 rebounds and eight blocked shots. Jerricka Scott scored 14 points, and
Kanesha Merritt had 13 points and six steals -- but she also committed 10 of
the Lady Panthers' 33 turnovers.
Xavier outshot Philander Smith 35 to 30 percent from
the floor — the Lady Panthers missed all 10 of their 3-point attempts
— and had a 46-34 rebound advantage. The Nuggets committed a season-worst
31 turnovers, 17 in the second half.
Franklin needs eight points to become the 19th XU
female to reach 1,000 in a career. She'll get her next shot Monday when Xavier
plays Fisk at 3 p.m. at the Convocation Center.
