Grove City edged, 84-83

GROVE CITY, Pa. -- Sophomore guard Jonah Bock (Erie, Pa./McDowell) bombed in 26 points and sophomore forward Ben Cano (Greenville, Pa./Greenville) posted a career-high 15 points Saturday afternoon but the Grove City College men's basketball team dropped an 84-83 decision to visiting Washington & Jefferson in Presidents' Athletic Conference action at the Grove City College Arena. 

Grove City trailed 84-81 in the final minute but trimmed the lead to one when sophomore guard Chase Yarberough (Lititz, Pa./Warwick) put back his own miss. W&J's J.R. Mazza then missed two free throws, giving the Wolverines a chance to win in the closing moments. However, W&J's Matt Seidl forced a turnover with 2.4 seconds left. Seidl also went 0 for 2 at the foul line, but Grove City could not get off a shot before time expired after gaining the defensive rebound.

Yarberough grabbed a career-high 16 rebounds for Grove City, including 11 at the offensive end. Thirty-three of Grove City's 65 total rebounds came at the offensive end. Grove City out-rebounded conference co-leader W&J, 65-27. Bock added nine boards and Cano collected six rebounds. 

Grove City finished the game 30 of 76 (40 percent) from the floor while W&J (12-4, 9-2 PAC) hit 30 of 67 (45 percent) field goal attempts. 

Senior Joshua McCray (Jessup, Md./Ashville College, U.K.) recorded three assists for Grove City, as did sophomore forward John Ward (Charlotte, N.C./Covenant Day) and freshman guard Mike Christenson (Oakton, Va./Trinity). 

Bock went 7 for 12 from behind the three-point line. He also buried seven three-point goals November 22 at Saint Vincent and against Pitt-Bradford in non-conference play December 30.

Nick Gearhart led W&J with 22 points. The game featured six ties and eight lead changes. Grove City led 45-41 at halftime.

Grove City (6-9, 4-6) hosts Saint Vincent at 6 p.m. Wednesday in conference action.
