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 10th in NAIA for third consecutive week
|
February 26, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's
women's basketball team has its highest national ranking entering a Gulf Coast Athletic
Conference Tournament since 2003.
The Gold Nuggets are 10th for the third consecutive
week in NAIA Division I Coaches' Top 25 Poll announced Tuesday afternoon.
Voting was based on games through Sunday. It's the sixth time in 11 polls
this season that Xavier has been in the top 10.
Xavier (24-4) closed the regular season with two GCAC
victories — 71-61 at Tougaloo, 67-43 at home against Dillard — and
will enter its GCAC Tournament first-round game against Fisk with a 12-game
win streak, its longest since 2010. The Xavier-Fisk game will tip off at noon
Thursday at Barton Coliseum in Little Rock, Ark.
Xavier is the tournament's top seed after winning
the regular-season championship by one game over SUNO and Talladega. The Gold Nuggets seek their fourth consecutive
GCAC Tournament championship.
The Gold Nuggets entered the 2003 GCAC Tournament
at No. 10 nationally, then lost 71-70 to Mobile in the semifinals. But Xavier made amends
at the NAIA National Championship by beating 14th-ranked Trevecca Nazarene
in the opening round — the Nuggets' only victory at nationals during
Bo Browder's first 11 seasons as head coach.
