SALT LAKE CITY – Darrion Trammell scored 16 as Seattle University halted a two game losing streak in a 73- 65 win over the Trailblazers.
Dixie State (6-10, 13-16) hosted Redhawks (13-4, 22-8) at Burns Arena in St. George, UT on Saturday, February 26.
Seattle opened the game as cold as the February temperatures were outside of Burns Arena. Shooting 18 percent from the perimeter and 25.8 percent overall, the Redhawks failed to generate any momentum in the first 20 minutes.
