ELKINS, W.Va. – The Davis & Elkins College volleyball team fell in a tightly contested five-set match against Glenville State on Tuesday night at a raucous McDonnell Center. The crowd was electric at the Senators home opener, but the energy waned late as D&E dropped the match 3-2 (19-25, 25-16, 25-19, 19-25, 10-15), in a Mountain East Conference (MEC) showdown that saw multiple momentum swings and standout performances from both teams.
