Does this mean 32 Graduates from the University of Utah Medical School didn't get a Match?

As always is the case, you can't depend on accuracy in news stories.  It appears that
a total of 99 graduates MATCHED.  MAYBE.   I wonder what % of the students in
the medical school at U of U got matches.  (Jacob if you see this, you could tell
me where to look to find that info)

I wonder how many students graduated from University of Utah Medical School. . .
Not just how many MATCHED.

And notice the bold comment at the bottom.  University of Utah matched nine more
WOMEN than men, which means men are the minority party at the University of Utah
Medical School.  (Remember I am disputing the accuracy of this story.)

 While this photo is poor, it does appear to be more than 99 students.  This is in Google
Images for U of U Medical School.
"The couple's rejoicing after learning their fates was a rewarding moment among a sea of celebration on campus Friday by 99 soon-to-be graduates of the University of Utah's School of Medicine, who earned residency placements with 67 health organizations in 32 states.
. . . Placements ranged from Missoula, Montana, and Boise, Idaho, to New York City and Washington, D.C., from hospitals in Colorado and Texas, to Kentucky and Florida. A handful even secured residencies at the U. itself. Winchester said more than a quarter of this year's graduates are staying in Utah.
Students leaving for residencies were doing so in 25 specialties, from radiology to general surgery to ophthalmology, while their stated reasons for which residencies they preferred were arguably even more diverse.
In all, 54 women and 45 men were matched into residencies."
