BUCKHANNON – The West Virginia Wesleyan volleyball team faced the seventh-ranked Wheeling Jesuit Cardinals this morning on Homecoming Saturday in a Mountain East Conference clash at Rockefeller Center.

Hannah King and Stacie Baumann led the Wesleyan attack with eight kills apiece.

Paulina Nottingham had 11 assists and nine digs.

The loss dropped Wesleyan to 8-13 overall and 2-6 in the MEC.

Wesleyan will return to action this Tuesday when they visit Point Park (Pa.) for a non-conference affair.

The match will start at 7 p.m.
