Grove City tops Westminster

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.--The Westminster football team suffered a 34-19 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) loss to rival Grove City Saturday night at Memorial Field inside Harold Burry Stadium. 

The College welcomed back members of its 1976 and 1977 NAIA Division II National Championship teams this weekend and celebrated their place in Westminster football history at halftime. 

Westminster (1-4, 1-2 PAC) jumped out to a 9-0 lead on sophomore Geno Perry's (Lowellville, Ohio, Lowellville) 12-yard touchdown rush with 7:50 to go in the first and junior Mitchell Tingley's (Stoneboro, Pa., Lakeview) 23-yard field goal with just under 12 minutes to go in the second quarter. Perry's touchdown capped a 13-play, 88-yard drive. 

Grove City's (3-2, 2-0 PAC) Mike Holloman connected with Darviae Gray on a 23-yard touchdown score just after the two-minute timeout and Braxtyn Brown ran for the first of his three touchdowns Saturday with eight seconds left in the half, scoring from 1-yard out to give the Wolverines a 13-9 going into halftime. 

Senior Jayveerh White (Sharon, Pa., Sharon) scored on a 32-yard rush with 9:31 to go in the third quarter to push Westminster back in front, 16-13. Cameron Epps returned interception 64 yards for a touchdown with just under four minutes remaining in the third to stake the Wolverines to a 20-16 lead. Brown scored his second of the night on a 64-yard run with 11:45 left in the fourth to stretch Grove City's lead to 27-16. Tingley hit his second 23-yard field goal with just over seven minutes to go, cutting the lead to 27-19. Brown closed out the scoring with a 26-yard touchdown run with just over five minutes left in regulation. 

Sophomore Quentin Goode (Aliquippa, Pa., Aliquippa) was 21-of-33 passing for 200 yards and a pair of interceptions. He ran eight times for 33 yards. Junior Sean O'Shea (Cranberry Township, Pa., Seneca Valley) went 2-of-3 for 15 yards and an interception. He rushed eight times for 60 yards. 

White finished with 148 yards and touchdown on 12 carries. It marked his second straight 100-yard rushing game. Junior Simeir Wade (Farrell, Pa., Farrell) caught six passes for 59 yards while Perry snagged six passes for 42 yards. 

Freshman Isaac Smalls (Beaufort, S.C., Battery Creek) averaged 28.3 yards per kickoff return, including a 57-yard return on the opening kickoff and a 60-yard return late in the third.
