GLENVILLE, W.Va. - The Glenville State Men's Basketball team rolled past previously unbeaten (5-0) Malone 83-69 today inside the Waco Center. The Pioneers shot 44% from the field and grabbed 15 offensive rebounds in the win.

After Malone trimmed the deficit to just three, GSU went on a 20-4 run in the last six minutes of the half to go up 45-26 at the break.
In the second half, Glenville State had their biggest lead of the game (31) following a Devin Collins jumper. In the midst of building that lead, the Pioneers had scored nearly 30 points in the first 12 minutes of the new half. MU used a strong finish to salvage the 20+ point blowout, eventually falling to GSU 83-69.
