THE PIONEERS
Glenville State is coming off an historic season in 2024 with the women placing 5^th and the men taking 6^th at the MEC Championships. In addition, both teams were 17^th at the NCAA Atlantic Regional, their highest finishes in program history. Natalie Barr was an All-MEC First Teamer, the first female to be first team all-conference since 1988. Patrick Reilly was MEC Freshman of the Year and an All-MEC Second Teamer, placing 13^th (highest since the formation of the MEC).

The MEC Preseason Coaches Poll tabbed the women 9^th and the men 6^th, but Pioneer Head Coach Dan Meyers has plenty to be excited about this season. "We want to control our expectations and we're still young but I really feel we can be a sleeper in the league this year," said HC Dan Meyers on the Pioneer Coaches Show. 11 new Pioneers have entered the mix for Meyers in 2025 while key returners are back, making it a stronger group overall.
