The Bearcats remained winless on the season after a 41-20 loss at Grove City College.

The game started as a defensive battle, and Grove City had to resort to a fake punt to open the scoring.  With less than 3 minutes remaining in the first quarter, Wolverine punter Ed Reith took the snap and ran 45 yards for a score.

The defense again played well throughout much of the first half, shutting down GCC quarterback Andrew DiDonato.  Senior cornerback Rob James, who intercepted two passes last week at Waynesburg, had a pair of first half interceptions to keep Saint Vincent in the game.  However, with just 1:05 left in the second, DiDonato connected with Will McCoy for a 20-yard touchdown pass that made it 14-0 at the break.

Another touchdown pass with four minutes left in the third made it 21-0, then DiDonato used his legs to score, as a 10-yard touchdown run made it 28-0 on the first play of the fourth quarter.

Less than a minute later, Saint Vincent got on the board, as Kevin Corona aired out a 42-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Marvin Daney.  After another Wolverine touchdown, Saint Vincent scored again, on a fourth-down, 32-yard pass to Sheldon Loughner in the end zone.

Late in the game, Saint Vincent added another score, thanks to a 51-yard bomb from Jake Smith to Christian Sutton.

Corona was 12-for-26 passing for the Bearcats (0-5), good for 141 yards.  Zach Mihalko led the ground game with 11 carries for 44 yards.  Jeremy Drischler caught five passes for 47 yards, and Anthony Johnson led the defense with 13 tackles, including 1 1/2 sacks.

For Grove City (2-3), DiDonato was 28-36 for 226 yards, and became the college's all-time leader in total yards, surpassing former Pittsburgh Steeler RJ Bowers. 

Saint Vincent will return home for a 1:00 matchup against Thomas More College on Saturday.
