The Wolverines broke the game open in the second half with a 7-0 run that featured five straight points from Moose. Grove City eventually extended its lead to 20, 59-39, in the second half before Waynesburg posted a late run in the final minute.

Kempema led Grove City with 10 rebounds while freshman forward Brittany Anderson (Chagrin Falls, Ohio/Chagrin Falls) added nine boards. Grove City held a 45-37 edge on the glass. Moose added four steals.
