Grove City bolted to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter as Gladstone and Petrolle each scored twice in the period. Speers opened the scoring at 11:57, then added two assists later in the first quarter. 

Speers scored twice in the second quarter while Bishop, Carpenter and La Forte added goals as Grove City led 12-0 at halftime. 

La Forte and Petrolle both recorded four assists while Bishop, Carpenter, Morse and junior Grant Evans (Pittsburgh, Pa./Upper Saint Clair) all assisted one goal.
