Game #2 Broadneck Pushes West Virginia Power Musselman Before Falling in Four Sets Bruins win the opener but lose two sets by the minimum margin in their first defeat of the season. DMV Volley | September 4, 2026 INWOOD, W.Va. — Broadneck traveled across state lines Friday looking to build on its season-opening victory. Instead, the Bruins encountered an experienced Musselman team that turned a di`icult opening set into a four-set win. Musselman defeated Broadneck, 16-25, 27-25, 25-17, 26-24, handing the Bruins their first loss of the season. Broadneck began with authority, taking the opening set 25-16. The second proved pivotal: Musselman survived a tight 27-25 decision to even the match, then captured the third set to move ahead. The Bruins remained within reach of forcing a fifth set, but Musselman prevailed 26-24 in the fourth. Three of the four sets were decided by eight points or fewer, and the second and fourth required extra points. The margins underscored how close Broadneck came to extending the contest. The defeat left Broadneck at 1-1, but the experience against a strong out-of-state opponent provided an early measuring stick. The Bruins returned home with another significant nonconference challenge ahead: Archbishop Spalding. DMV Volley Takeaway: Broadneck's loss revealed a team capable of competing with strong opposition. Converting tight late-set situations would become an important measure of its growth.
