GROVE CITY, Pa. -- The Grove City College men's golf team placed second out of 14 teams Thursday at its annual McBride-Behringer-Allen "MBA" Invitational, held at Grove City Country Club.

Led by medalist Luke Gronbeck (Gibsonia, Pa./Eden Christian), the Wolverines finished with a team score of 306. Westminster won the event with a 303. Pitt-Greensburg tied Grove City for runner-up by also shooting an aggregate 306. 

A freshman, Gronbeck finished in a three-way tie atop the leaderboard with a round of 73 on the par-72 course. He won a scorecard playoff with Marietta's Zach Huscusson and Kelson McCurdy to capture the individual title.

Senior Adam Steinmetz (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Allegheny) tied for fifth by shooting 75. Sophomore Nathan Young (Street, Md./Homeschooled) carded a 77, good for 15th place. 

Senior Aidan Allen (Pickerington, Ohio/Pickerington Central) placed 35th with an 81 while senior Max Vaughn (Lakewood, N.Y./Southwestern) shot 87, placing him 61st.

The Grove City "B" squad took eighth in the team standings with a 326. Senior Luke Kimmich (Murrysville, Pa./Franklin Regional) and freshman Seth Hartman (Harrison City, Pa./Penn-Trafford) tied for 30th as each man shot an 80. 

Freshman Wade Springer (Topeka, Ind./Westview) finished 40th with an 82 while sophomore Tyler Derstein (Telford, Pa./Dock Mennonite) posted an 84. Derstein finished 45th. 

Junior Brian McDonnell (Seven Fields, Pa./Eden Christian) rounded out the "B" lineup with an 85, good for 50th place. 

The Grove City "C" quintet combined for a 339, which placed the Wolverines 12th overall. Junior Jonah Kozora (Mars, Pa./Mars) paced that five-man unit by shooting an 80. He tied for 30th.

Freshman Will Nelson (Pittsburgh, Pa./Trinity Christian) tied for 40th place with an 82 while sophomore Daniel Artale (Lititz, Pa./Homeschooled) finished 55th with a round of 86.
