Recap
Glenville State is one of the top teams not only in the Mountain East Conference, but in the region, and they played like it on Saturday. The Lady Pioneers downed the Lady 'Cats 124-75, and they controlled the game throughout. They play at a very fast pace and lead the league in scoring, making it difficult for Wesleyan to keep up after the first quarter. The Lady 'Cats got three players into double-figures, and Freshman
Cierra Tolbert set a career high with twenty points off the bench. Coach
Vicky Bullett did not start
Nicole Gilyard as well, and she answered that call by leading the team with twenty-two points.

What's Next
West Virginia Wesleyan will be eyeing a win on Wednesday when they host Frostburg State. The Lady Bobcats have played much stronger at home this season, and they can leave Frostburg in the last place spot in the MEC with a victory.
Glenville State will have an exciting matchup in Institute this Wednesday against WVSU. This will be the second matchup between the top two scoring teams in the league, and the Lady Pioneers took the first matchup 127-91 in the Waco Center. WVSU should be expected to keep it closer this time around on their home floor.Â
