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 Rush 10-1 on road after 57-53 OT victory at Mobile
January 28, 2013
Box score
MOBILE, Ala. — Seniors Wanto Joseph, Anthony
Simmons and Denzell Erves combined for all but three of Xavier University of
Louisiana's points after halftime in a 57-53 overtime men's basketball victory
against Mobile on Monday.
The Gold Rush (19-4), ranked 11th in NAIA Division I,
completed a two-game season sweep of the Rams (11-9). Xavier has won eight of
its last nine games. The Gold Rush are 10-1 on the road this season.
Joseph scored 17 points, Simmons 15 and Erves 12 for
Xavier, which led 20-18 at halftime but needed a Simmons free throw with 15
seconds remaining in regulation to tie the score at 49 and force overtime.
Joseph's two free throws at 3:39 of overtime tied the
score at 51, then he converted his steal into an assist to Erves for a basket
at 2:54 to put the Gold Rush ahead to stay, 53-51.
Mobile missed two shots in the final 20 seconds which
could've tied the score. Erves made two free throws with two seconds remaining
to clinch the victory. Xavier is 3-0 in overtime this season, its best mark
since going 4-0 in 1992-93.
Chris Richardson scored 13 points for Mobile, which
had dropped three straight, and Julien Sargent had 12 points and eight rebounds.
Xavier missed all six of its 3-point attempts but
outshot Mobile 44.2 to 34 percent from the floor. The Rams had a 36-30 rebound
advantage, but Erves grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds in his 14th double-double
of the season and 21st of his career.
Xavier has beaten Mobile seven consecutive times —
the longest Gold Rush win streak in the series — and 10 of the past 11.
Xavier leads the series 32-26.
Xavier's next game will start at noon Saturday against
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference opponent Talladega at XU's new Convocation Center.
Xavier and Philander Smith are 6-1 in the GCAC and share first place.
