Junior guard J.D. Collar (Cincinnati, Ohio/Anderson) led the Wolverines with 22 points while junior forward Ryan Eller (Erie, Pa./Iroquois) added 18 points. Seventeen of Eller's points came in the first half as the Wolverines led 32-26 at halftime.
Senior James Curren led Behrend with 21 points. Grove City made 10 of 19 three-point attempts, including six of eight in the first half. However, Behrend shot 13-for-20 (65 percent) from the floor in the final 20 minutes. Penn State Behrend also out-rebounded Grove City, 31-19.
