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 win at Fisk, regain share of lead in GCAC
February 11, 2013
Box score
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Paige Gauthier scored 13
points Monday to lead NAIA No. 11 Xavier University of Louisiana in a 68-45
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference women's basketball victory against Fisk.
The victory was the ninth in a row for the Gold Nuggets
(21-4 overall, 9-2 GCAC), who moved into a first-place tie in the conference
with SUNO and Talladega after Talladega won 72-68 at home against SUNO. Xavier
will visit SUNO on Saturday.
Gauthier was Xavier's only double-figure scorer, but 14
Gold Nuggets scored. Andraquay Quinnine scored nine points, eight in the first
half, and freshman Whitney Gathright had eight.
Simone Charles scored 12 points for Fisk (6-17, 2-9),
and Nacori Foreman and Janine Davis scored 11 each. Rasheda Ademosu had seven
steals, the most by an XU opponent this season.
Xavier led 34-19 at halftime.
The Gold Nuggets outshot the Lady Bulldogs 43.1 to 24.4
percent from the floor and outrebounded them 54-25. It was the third consecutive
game and the ninth time this season that Xavier limited an opponent to less
than 30 percent. The rebound margin was Xavier's second largest this season.
Carmen Holcombe led the Gold Nuggets with eight rebounds, and Danielle Tucker
grabbed five.
Xavier matched a season high by making seven 3-pointers,
two apiece by Gauthier, Quinnine and Gathright.
Gauthier had four points and six turnovers in the first
half but produced nine points and no turnovers in the second half. She reached
double figures in points for the seventh time this season and the third time in
the past five games.
The Nuggets' streak is their longest since winning nine
in a row last season.
Xavier will travel to SUNO on Saturday for a 5 p.m.
game at The Castle. SUNO women's coach and athletics director Elston King
confirmed Monday that starting time, along with a 7 p.m. matchup between
Xavier's and SUNO's men. Xavier schedules have listed the starting times as
2 and 4 p.m.
