INSTITUTE, W.Va. – The six-game winning streak for the West Virginia State University men's basketball team finally came to an end with a defeat to Glenville State, 107-97, on Wednesday night at the Walker Convocation Center.

West Virginia State drops to 12-4 overall, 7-4 in the Mountain East Conference (MEC) with the loss. Meanwhile, Glenville State improves to 10-7 on the season, 7-4 in the MEC with the win.

In the final three minutes of the first half, Glenville State reclaimed the momentum with a 15-7 run that put the Pioneers back in front. At halftime, WVSU trailed by five points, 49-44.

That was as close as the Yellow Jackets came to retaking the lead as the Pioneers managed to stay barely ahead for the rest of the game.
