Grove City inducting two into Soccer Hall of Fame
GROVE CITY, Pa. -- Grove City College will induct two former standouts into its Men’s Soccer Hall of Fame during Homecoming Weekend October 3. W. Glenn Zembower '48 and Robert Bishop '66 comprise the ninth class of inductees. Their inclusion brings the total number of inductees to 25.
Zembower earned three letters for Grove City while playing inside right (midfield) from 1945 to 1947. He helped Grove City to a 10-7-4 record during his career. As a senior in 1947, he captained the team and led Grove City in scoring.
Zembower also served as class president during his freshman and sophomores years as a student-athlete. As a senior, he became Student Council president at the College.
Bishop started all four seasons as a center forward and wing for Grove City from 1962 to 1965. He led Grove City in scoring in each of his last three seasons. During those three seasons, Grove City compiled a 24-1-2 overall record.
As a freshman in 1962, Bishop helped Grove City earn its first-ever NCAA Championship Tournament invitation. He helped lead Grove City to a 9-0-0 record in 1964 and an 8-0-1 mark as a senior captain in 1965.
Bishop earned Second Team All Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Delaware as a junior before earning First Team recognition as a senior.
Grove City established its Men’s Soccer Hall of Fame in 2001. The honorees will be introduced and recognized before the annual Hall of Fame Game October 3, which features alumni against current varsity players.
