Main Story: Wheeling advanced past Charleston in the Mountain East Conference quarterfinals and will face Frostburg State in the semifinals. The Cardinals are seeking their first trip to the conference championship match since 2024.

By the Numbers
  • Wheeling is 19-9 overall and 12-4 in MEC play.
  • The Cardinals beat Charleston in three sets, taking the finale 26-24.
  • Camryn Matus recorded 11 kills, 14 assists and 12 digs for her third triple-double this season.
  • Wheeling has won all 18 meetings with Frostburg State, including two postseason matchups, and swept the teams’ two regular-season meetings this year.
Yes, But

Frostburg State enters the semifinal after upsetting top-seeded Concord, so Wheeling’s unbeaten record against the Bobcats won’t guarantee an easy path to the final.

State of Play
  • Four teams remain; three are from the MEC North Division.
  • Wheeling and Frostburg State meet in the first semifinal, while Fairmont State faces Glenville State in the other matchup.
What's Next

Wheeling will need to beat Frostburg State for the third time this season to reach the championship match. The provided details list conflicting start times—7 p.m. in the opening and 4:30 p.m. in the match details—and also identify the match as both Friday’s and Thursday’s, so the schedule should be verified.

Bottom Line

The Cardinals have a strong history against Frostburg State, but the Bobcats’ quarterfinal upset makes this semifinal a fresh test—and a chance for Wheeling to move within one win of its first MEC title-match appearance since 2024.
