GLENVILLE, W.Va. - The Glenville State Men's Basketball team got back in the win column tonight with an 80-70 victory over Frostburg State inside the Waco Center. Neither team shot over 40% from the field but the Pioneers were able to connect on 12 three-pointers and force 16 turnovers in the win.
Both squads came out of the gates slow until the Pioneers were able to connect on consecutive three-pointers from Jay Scott and Devin Collins to take a 15-6 lead seven minutes into the game. GSU began to control the pace of the game and knock down shots in continuous possessions, building the advantage to 16. FSU trimmed it to 11 but Jordan Turbo Smith netted a three right before the half to give the Pioneers a 40-26 lead.
The lead then grew to 18 in the 2nd half, but Frostburg State used a 9-0 run to cut the deficit down to single digits with 13 minutes left in the game. Though GSU held off countless comeback attempts from the Bobcats, it would eventually become just a six-point game with around a minute remaining. Free throws down the stretch by Antoine Boyd Jr. and Trevor Chandler sealed the deal in Glenville's 80-70 victory.
