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)

Franklin reaches 1,000 career points in XU win over Fisk
January 21, 2013
Box score
NEW ORLEANS — SiMon Franklin reached 1,000 career
points, and NAIA No. 12 Xavier University of Louisiana led wire-to-wire Monday
in a 63-41 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference women's basketball victory against Fisk.
Franklin, a senior guard from Baton Rouge, La., and a
graduate of St. Joseph's Academy, rebounded teammate Jessica Savannah's missed
shot under the basket and scored a layup at 7:09 of the first half to reach the
milestone and give the Gold Nuggets (14-4 overall, 4-2 GCAC) a 26-9 lead.
Franklin finished with 10 points, five rebounds, four
assists and three steals in 26 minutes and has 1,002 points in her career.
She is the third recruit in Bo Browder's 14 seasons as XU's head coach to
reach 1,000; the others were Jackie Tucker in 2004 and Jarryn Cleaves in 2007.
Whitney Gaston-Loyd led Xavier with 11 points and
eight rebounds. She and Franklin were the only Gold Nuggets with more than
seven points, but 13 XU players scored.
Also reaching a milestone was XU associate head coach
Darrilyn Broussard, who reached her 300th victory since joining the program in
2000-01. The Nuggets are 300-89 during her tenure and never have won less than
23 games in a season. Browder is 338-115 as XU's head coach.
Janine Davis scored a season-high 23 points, 15 in the
first half, for Fisk (4-12, 0-6), which has an eight-game losing streak and
hasn't won in more than six weeks.
Xavier held a double-digit lead for the final 31
minutes and led 38-21 at halftime, but the Nuggets never built the lead to
20 points until the 38th minute. The final margin was their largest of the game.
The Gold Nuggets outshot the Lady Bulldogs 36.9 to 25
percent from the floor and outrebounded them 50-37.
It was the first time this season that Xavier recorded
back-to-back GCAC victories. The Gold Nuggets gained ground on the leaders
when Talladega lost 76-68 at SUNO to move those teams into a first-place tie
with 5-1 conference records. Xavier shares third place with Tougaloo, a 76-51
winner at home against Edward Waters.
The victory concluded a four-game home stand for Xavier,
whose next game will start at 5 p.m. Saturday at GCAC and city rival Dillard.
The Nuggets' next home game will start at 6 p.m. on Jan. 31 against William
Carey.
