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 SUNO, stretch streak to 10 straight
February 16, 2013
Box score
NEW ORLEANS — Paige Gauthier's career-best 19
points Saturday led NAIA No. 10 Xavier University of Louisiana to a 72-67 Gulf
Coast Athletic Conference women's basketball victory against SUNO at The Castle.
The victory, the 10th in a row for the Gold Nuggets
(22-4 overall, 10-2 GCAC) and their eighth straight in conference, kept them
in a first-place tie with Talladega. But SUNO (14-4, 9-3) — which had a
share or sole possession of the GCAC lead since Jan. 21 — fell to third
place. All three teams have two conference games remaining, none with each
other.
Gauthier, a reserve guard, led Xavier in scoring for
the second consecutive game and the fourth time in six games. She scored 11
second-half points, including a 3-pointer with 17:18 remaining which put the
Gold Nuggets ahead to stay, 40-38.
Xavier led 62-50 after Danielle Tucker's 3-pointer
with 7:43 remaining, but SUNO cut that deficit before committing a turnover
while trailing by two and missing a 3-pointer while trailing by three in the
final 13 seconds. Gauthier closed the scoring with two free throws with two
seconds remaining and was a career-best 8-of-8 from the line.
SiMon Franklin scored 14 points for Xavier, and Tucker
and Carmen Holcombe had nine each. Holcombe grabbed nine rebounds and had a
career-high five steals, the last with 13 seconds remaining and Xavier leading
69-67. Holcombe was fouled after her steal, then made 1-of-2 free throws.
April Perry scored 21 points, 17 in the second half,
for SUNO. Janee Morton scored 19 points, Sharlyn Reed had 12 points and nine
rebounds, and Rose Boatner had 10 points and 10 rebounds.
SUNO led 34-32 at halftime.
The victory streak is Xavier's longest since winning
21 in a row during 2009-10. The Gold Nuggets' ended SUNO's six-game home win
streak; it was the Lady Knights' first loss at The Castle since a 57-56
decision Nov. 15 against Westminster (Utah), a top-five NAIA team.
Xavier will visit Tougaloo at 5:30 p.m. Monday, then
play Dillard at 3 p.m. next Saturday in the Crosstown Classic at XU's new
Convocation Center. Reserved tickets, priced at $5, will go on sale at the
Convocation Center box office from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday and be available
through Thursday. Tickets purchased on game day will cost $10. Students can
pick up one free ticket with a valid XU ID from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. beginning
Monday at the Student Activities Office in room 208 (second floor) of the
University Center.
