GLENVILLE, W.Va. - The Glenville State Men's Basketball team fell to conference rival Fairmont State, 106-81, inside Joe Retton Arena tonight. The Pioneers record now stands at (4-5, 1-3 MEC).

In the first half, Devin Collins would get things started for the Pioneers with back-to-back three pointers. The Falcons answered back with a 26-5 scoring run and set the tone for the rest of the game. Due to offensive struggles, the Pioneers only scored 24 points in the first half and would have a twenty-five-point deficient going into halftime. The Pioneers ended the half shooting 33% from the field and they were out rebounded by 10.

In the second half, the Pioneers deficient climbed to as much as 31 points. Even though the Pioneers were better offensively, shooting 57% from the field and 50% from three, the Falcons offense became too much for GSU.
