Senior forwards John Ward (Indian Land, S.C./Covenant Day, N.C.) and Russ Gump (Bloomsburg, Pa./Central Columbia) added field goals on each side of Yarberough's milestone three-point goal.

Christenson drained a three-pointer with 2:05 left in the half to give Grove City a 35-24 lead. The Wolverines led 37-30 at the intermission.
