Opening night road win

DuBOIS, Pa. -- Senior guard Jonah Bock (Erie, Pa./McDowell) fired in 22 points while three teammates also scored in double figures Friday night as the Grove City College men's basketball team opened the 2024-25 season with an 88-78 non-conference road win over Penn State DuBois at the PAW Center. 

Junior guard Kyle Randle (Willowick, Ohio/Eastlake North) pumped in 16 points for the Wolverines while senior guard Chase Yarberough (Lititz, Pa./Warwick) tossed in 15 points on 5-of-6 shooting. Sophomore center Isaac Cherry (Sagamore Hills, Ohio/Nordonia) poured in 14 points. 

Eighteen of Bock's 22 points came via the three-point shot. Overall, Grove City went 9 of 20 (45 percent) on three-point attempts. The Wolverines finished 30 of 59 (51 percent) from the field for the game. 

Grove City led 48-40 at halftime and led by double digits throughout the second half. Back-to-back jumpers from Yarberough and junior guard Mike Christenson (Oakton, Va./Trinity) gave Grove City an 80-58 lead with seven minutes left. 

Penn State DuBois (1-1) trimmed the lead to 83-75 with 56 seconds left but Yarberough's 4-for-4 accuracy at the foul line helped seal the win.
