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)

January 26, 2013
Box score
NEW ORLEANS — SiMon Franklin scored 15 points
Saturday to lead NAIA No. 14 Xavier University of Louisiana to a 64-54 Gulf
Coast Athletic Conference women's basketball victory against Dillard at Dent
Hall.
The Gold Nuggets (15-4 overall, 5-2 GCAC) defeated
their longtime city rival for the eighth consecutive time and the 17th time
in the last 18 meetings. Xavier leads the series 58-19.
Franklin reached double figures for the fourth
consecutive game, a season best. The senior guard scored nine points to help
Xavier extend a 29-28 halftime lead.
No one else from Xavier reached double figures, but 12
12 Nuggets scored. Reserve guard Schyler Morton scored a career-high eight
points, and her 3-pointer from the top of the key put Xavier ahead to stay,
28-27, with 56 seconds remaining in the first half.
Two Franklin free throws with 3:36 remaining gave Xavier
a 61-49 lead.
"I never know from game to game who's going to step
up and score for us," XU coach Bo Browder said. "But if we bring our defense
wherever we go, we'll be alright."
Jazzmin Smith scored 17 points and Brittany Smith 11
for Dillard (5-15, 3-4).
Dillard outshot the Gold Nuggets 38.6 to 36.4 percent
from the floor and outrebounded them 36-28, but Xavier gained 27 turnovers,
including 19 steals, and committed 17 turnovers. Xavier had a 34-12 advantage
in bench scoring, and the reserve Nuggets made 10-of-20 from the floor.
Xavier had its second most productive game of the
season at the line, making 20 free throws in 30 attempts. Franklin made 6-of-8,
and Danielle Tucker made 5-of-6.
The teams will meet again Feb. 23 at XU's Convocation
Center. Xavier's next game will start at 5:30 p.m. Monday at Mobile, and
