Beating the odds, Glenville State College's Pioneers (3-8, 2-4) defeated Wheeling Jesuit (7-3, 4-1) Monday night 86-78.

Despite poor shooting throughout the game, hitting only 38-percent of their two-point attempts in the second half, Wheeling initially controlled the court and held the lead.

Sparked by a three-pointer, GSC began a 13-0 run at just under the nine minute mark, closing out the half 36-29.

night, scoring 17 in the process. Sometime aerialist
Marcus Catney (right) who can sail whether shooting or
passing, hits this shot just inside the 3-point line.

The Cardinals eventually lost their composure as they attempted to regain the lead by sometimes wild 3-point attempts, hitting only 5 of 16.

GSC's Nick Dent (01) led all scorers with 27 on the night. Almost half were from the free-throw line.

Three other Pioneers were in double-figures: Gabe Gibbs (05) nailed 17, Aaron Dobson (23) had 13 and Dusty Mullins (03) had 10.

points on this drive straight up the lane.
