PITTSBURGH - Ninety percent of Duquesne University student-athletes who enrolled as freshmen in 2015, graduated within a six-year window according to the latest NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) released today.

It marks the fifth-straight year DU has posted a GSR of 90 or higher. The 90 average was one percentage point shy of tying the school's best mark of 91 set three years ago. Duquesne also posted a 90 last year.

Men's tennis, women's basketball, women's rowing, women's lacrosse, women's swimming and diving and women's volleyball all posted perfect scores of 100. It was the 12th consecutive year women's swimming and diving posted a perfect score. It was also the fifth-straight 100 for lacrosse.

Men's basketball posted an 89, which was once again well above that sport's national average of 84 percent. Over the past five years, men's basketball has posted GSR's of 91, 90, 91, 92 and 89 percent.
 
Ten of the Dukes' 13 teams rated (men's and women's track and field/cross country teams combined and bowling, as a newer program has yet to qualify) earned a Graduation Success Rate at or above the Division I national GSR average of 89 percent.

The NCAA Graduation Success Rate Report gives graduation information about the most recent six-year graduating class of students and student-athletes who enter as freshmen in 2015-16. The graduation success rate (percent) is based on a comparison of the number of student-athletes who entered a college or university and the number of those who graduated within six years.
