PHOENIX. AZ – A record-setting night for Courtney Boyd (Keokuk. IA/Keokuk) (Sr. Keokuk. IA) ended on a bittersweet note. Dixie State fell from the ranks of the unbeaten in the Pacific West Conference dropping a road contest to host Grand Canyon University 90-75 Thursday night in the Antelope Gym.

Boyd sank seven three-pointers. a new DSC record for threes in a game. to lead all scorers with a season-high 23 points. The previous record was six held by current Dixie guard Deney Phommabout (West Valley CIty. UT/Hillcrest) (Sr. West Valley City. UT) and former Rebel Tiara Bowman.

Dixie hit 15 overall three-pointers in 32 attempts. but could not find any consistency closer to the hoop hitting just 9-of-33 from two-point range. DSC held its only lead at 5-2 at the 16:22 mark of the first half but played from behind the remainder of the game.

The loss snapped Dixie's winning streak at four and dropped their overall record to 8-6. 2-1 in conference action. The Antelopes of GCU remain undefeated in conference at 4-0 and 10-6 overall.
