The anticipated matchup between Utah Valley and Boise State was a hard-fought duel, almost a repeat of the last time the two teams took it to the wrestling mat. The result was the same as it was two years ago, with a narrow 19-18 victory going to UVU. Toughness was the key to victory […]
I should have known that I was making a mistake. It was noon-thirty in the food court here at our beloved Utah Valley University. On a Monday. The line for the Pizza Hut was packed. The Costa Vida was stuffed. The queue at Subway was probably the length of fifty five-dollar foot longs. In the […]
Making school a priority is challenging for most students at one time or another. A football game, Facebook update, or chocolate muffin can seem more momentous than a textbook in the moment.

Only fifteen seconds later, Wilson took down Hernandez to win the match and the crowd stayed on their feet to cheer and show their support for their fellow Wolverine. This is […]
It’s considered common courtesy not to talk about religion or politics in polite company. But talking about both at the same time is a different story, apparently. KUER, a charter member of National Public Radio out of Salt Lake, recorded a segment for their daily show RadioWest with Doug Fabrizio Wednesday in the Ragan […]
Utah Valley’s women’s basketball spent the past three weeks playing local rivals like Utah State University and The University of Utah. However, the schedule helped bring the team down to a four-game losing streak, which concluded on Tuesday night when the Wolverines (7-9) defeated Longwood University at home.
