Cal State Dominguez Hills

Enrollment of full-time students at Cal State Dominguez Hills has reached an all-time high and will continue to rise over the next five years, university officials predicted. This fall, 7,948 students registered for full-time status. The previous record for the 33-year-old Carson campus was set in the fall of 1992 when 7,923 full-time students enrolled. University officials attribute the increase to growth in local school districts.

"If you put on a uniform you better be ready to play." The Toros had 15 turnovers, allowing North Central (4-3) to claw back numerous times.
