Retention rates at DSU need improvement

Dixie State University does a great job of recruiting students to enroll and attend school here, but the school has not done very well at retaining these students. DSU had a 51.3 percent retention rate for students returning to school in fall of 2016. This means roughly half of the students you or I see throughout the semester […]

The box score shows a final score of 69-48. It also showed that DSU made more free-throws than APU and the rebounding numbers were nearly dead-even. The difference between the two […]
