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 return to top 10, Gold Rush drop to 14th
|
February 14, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's
women climbed, but the men
dropped back in the NAIA Division I Coaches' Top 25 polls
announced Tuesday afternoon.
The Gold Nuggets were 10th — their fourth time
in nine polls this season to reach the top 10. The Gold Rush were 14th
after falling three places. Both teams were 11th the previous week.
Xavier is one of six women's teams — the others
are Campbellsville, Freed-Hardeman, Lee (Tenn.), Oklahoma City and Vanguard —
to be ranked in every top 25 since the start of the 2010-11 season. The Gold Nuggets
have appeared in the last 40 polls, the sixth-longest active streak.
Although the XU men equaled their biggest drop of
the season, it's their fifth consecutive top-15 appearance. The Gold Rush are
in the top 25 for the 20th consecutive time, fourth longest among NAIA DI men.
Xavier was fifth in that category a week ago, but Rogers State fell out
after 24 consecutive appearances.
Both the Gold Nuggets (21-4 overall, 9-2 Gulf Coast
Athletic Conference) and the Gold Rush (21-6, 8-3) share first place in the
conference — the women with Talladega and city rival SUNO, and the men with
Philander Smith. Both XU teams will travel to SUNO on Saturday for a doubleheader at
The Castle. And for the second time in four days, the starting times have
changed. The women's game will tip off at 3 p.m., followed by the men's game at 5.
The next XU home games will be their regular-season
finales, Feb. 23 against Dillard in the Crosstown Classic at the new Convocation Center.
Starting times that day also will be 3 and 5 p.m.
