PRESIDENT PAUL MCNULTY
A 1980 graduate of Grove

Paul J. McNulty, J.D., enters his
first year as the College’s ninth
President.
President McNulty returned

partner in the global law firm
Baker & McKenzie, where he
chaired the firm’s corporate
compliance and investigations
practice.
He is widely recognized as
a leading voice on business ethics and global anti-corruption
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR DON LYLE
Dr. Don Lyle is in his 13th
year as athletic director at
Grove City College. Lyle is
Chairman of the Department

In that role, Lyle oversees
the College’s fitness and
wellness program, its rapidlygrowing exercise science major and Grove City’s 19-sport
varsity athletics program.
Lyle coached Grove City’s
men’s soccer team from 1972
to 2005. As head coach, he led
the Wolverines to six postseason berths, including a pair of trips to the NCAA Championship Tournament.
In 2005, his final season as head coach, Lyle guided Grove
City to its first-ever outright Presidents’ Athletic Conference
title and a trip to the finals of the Eastern College Athletic
Conference Southern Championship Tournament.
He earned the PAC’s Coach of the Year award that year.
Lyle also directed Grove City to a share of the PAC men’s
soccer title in 1996 as Grove City went 16-2. The Wolverines
set a school record for victories in a season and won their
first ECAC title.
Lyle-coached teams also advanced to post-season play
in 1976, 1980 and 2000. In 34 years as head coach, he compiled a 277-206-37 record. The College inducted him into its
Men’s Soccer Hall of Fame in October 2006.
Lyle also started the women’s softball program at Grove
City, posting a 91-61 (.599) record from 1980-88 as head coach.
Lyle then spent nine years as baseball coach at Grove City.
In addition to his academic duties as department chair,
Lyle is a professor of physical education. He is also chairman

over 100,000 Department employees.
In that role, he led an attack on corporate fraud, successfully argued a police conduct case before the U.S. Supreme
Court, and organized the U.S. rule of law efforts in Iraq.
From 2001 to 2005, President McNulty served as the U.S.
Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. The U.S. Senate
confirmed him for this position three days after the
September 11 terrorist attacks and his office handled
numerous terrorist prosecutions. Earlier in his career, from
1990 to 1993, he served as the Justice Department’s Chief
Spokesman and Director of Legal Policy.
His career also includes 11 years as a senior lawyer on
Capitol Hill, where he served as the Chief Counsel and
Director of Legislative Operations for the Majority Leader of
the U.S. House of Representatives and Chief Counsel for the
House Subcommittee on Crime. He began his legal career in
1983 as Counsel for the House Ethics Committee.
President McNulty received the College’s Alumni Achievement award in 1998. The College awarded him an honorary
doctorate in 2007.
He also received an honorary doctorate in 2003 from
Capital University School of Law, where he received his Juris

GROVE CITY COLLEGE
HEAD COACH STEVE LAMIE
COACHING STAFF
A 1985 magna cum
laude graduate of Grove
City College, Steve Lamie
enters his 17th season as
the Wolverines’ head
men’s basketball coach.
In his 16 seasons at the
College, Lamie has directed the Wolverines to
four Presidents’ Athletic
Conference championships, six postseason
berths and national and
regional acclaim in numer-
Lamie guided Grove City to the PAC championship in
2003 as the Wolverines downed Thiel in the conference
title game, 60-59, in Greenville.
The 2002-03 Wolverines ranked in the top 10 nationally in both field goal percentage and rebound margin while
finishing 18-9, the fifth-best season in school history.
Grove City also hosted its first-ever ECAC playoff game
in 2003 as the Wolverines hosted Neumann College in a
quarterfinal game.
In 2001-02, the Wolverines finished second in the nation in rebound margin and held their opponents to less
than 38 percent shooting from the floor.
Grove City also finished among the national leaders in
field goal percentage in 2004-05. Two years ago, Grove
City led the conference in scoring defense.
In his first season, the Wolverines captured the Presidents’ Athletic Conference championship and advanced to
the ECAC Championship Tournament.
He has also coached six 1,000-point scorers in former
standouts Tanner Prosser, Ryan Eller, Shawn Carr, Ryan
Gibson, Andy O’Keefe and Brett Matson.
O’Keefe also earned CoSIDA Academic All-America
honors in 2010. Three Grove City players have earned Academic All-District during his tenure.
Lamie is the 21st head men’s basketball coach in Grove
City history. Prior to becoming head coach, he assisted
longtime head coach John Barr for four seasons.
The Wolverines won 16 games in consecutive seasons
and reached the ECAC tournament in each of Lamie’s first
two years as an assistant.
Lamie played four years under Barr, earning the team’s
hustle award and co-captain honors as a senior.
As a sophomore during the 1982-83 season, he helped
Grove City advance to the NCAA Division III Championship
Tournament as the Wolverines set a school record with 21
victories.
His coaching career began as an assistant at Cedar
Crest High School in Lebanon, Pa. After four seasons at
Cedar Crest, Lamie spent two years as a graduate assistant
at Kent State, earning his master’s degree in biology in
1991.
Lamie then returned to the high school ranks for three
seasons as a head coach. After one year at Palisades High
School in Kintersville, Pa., Lamie led Perkasie, Pa.-based
Pennridge High School to the District I playoffs in 1994,
ending a six-year drought.
Lamie is an assistant professor of physical education
and exercise science.
His wife Melissa recently completed her 22nd season
as Grove City’s head women’s soccer coach. She is also
Grove City’s head golf coach.
The Lamies reside in Pine Township with their daughter, Melia, 14, and twins Caleb and Rayna, both 3.
ous statistical categories.
In 2010, he earned the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Great Lakes Coach of the Year award
after directing the Wolverines to a 19-9 record, the PAC
title and a berth in the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament.
In 2007, Lamie led Grove City to one of the most improbable championships in PAC history as the Wolverines
captured the conference tournament after entering as the
fourth seed.
Two years ago, he earned his 200th win at Grove City
when the Wolverines earned an 80-77 win over rival Geneva
February 9, 2012 on Hall of Fame Day at the College.

GROVE CITY COLLEGE
SEASON PREVIEW
SEASON PREVIEW
A remade roster that features several grizzled veterans and a plethora of gifted newcomers will look to lift the
Grove City College men's basketball team back to the top
of the Presidents' Athletic Conference in the 2014-15 season.
Head coach Steve Lamie will work with a trio of seniors
this year in guard Mitch Marmelstein, guard J.T. Schwartz
and forward Brian Giesler.
Marmelstein led Grove City in scoring, rebounds, assists and minutes played last year and will likely go over
the 1,000-point mark for his career early this season. The
6-foot Marmelstein is a two-time All-PAC selection.
Schwartz has started regularly for Grove City throughout his career. The 5-foot-8 Schwartz set a Grove City record
with 57 steals last year and brings scoring punch to the
point guard position.
Schwartz averaged 8.2 points per game last year and
also ranked second to Marmelstein in rebounding.
Giesler converted a school-record 76 three-point goals
last year while averaging 11.3 points per game.
He will again be counted on as a perimeter threat from
either of the forward positions. Giesler started all 26 games
last year.
Grove City also welcomes back four juniors who have
all started during their respective careers at the College.
Stephen Tam will battle Schwartz for the starting point
guard spot while fellow guard Isaiah Reeves will again look
to be the Wolverines' defensive stopper.
Junior guard Stephen Tam will challenge for the starting point guard position this season. Tam is a two-year
letterman and a part-time starter for Grove City.
Tam moved into the starting lineup late last year while
Reeves has been a part-time starter in each of his first two
seasons at Grove City.
Erik Carlstrom, a 6-foot-6 center, returns after making
14 starts last year. He brings size and experience to a youthful frontcourt.
Junior guard Joe Vermilya will also challenge for a starting spot this year after earning his first letter last year.
Sophomore forward Luke Tincha emerged during his
rookie season and started the final four games of last season. He will look to earn a full-time starting assignment in
the frontcourt.
Meanwhile, classmate Mitch Newburg seeks a regular
spot in the rotation after playing in 14 games last year.
Two veteran transfers are also expected to immediately contribute. Junior Caleb Knudsen, a 6-4 swingman,
will challenge for a starting spot this year as will 6-6 sophomore forward Tyler McGrath. Both Knudsen and McGrath
played at Eastern University before coming to Grove City.
Several freshmen are also expected to contribute immediately this year.
Head coach Steve Lamie will count on seven returning
lettermen this year, including senior forward Brian
Giesler (35).

ABOUT THE PAC
THE PRESIDENTS’ ATHLETIC CONFERENCE
PRESIDENTS’ ATHLETIC CONFERENCE
Founded in 1955, the Presidents’ Athletic Conference
continues its mission of promoting intercollegiate athletics
and the pursuit of academic excellence.
Comprised of 10 select private colleges and universities - Bethany College, Chatham University, Geneva College, Grove City College, Saint Vincent College, Thiel College, Thomas More College, Washington & Jefferson College, Waynesburg University and Westminster College the PAC remains a unique organization in this day of highpressure intercollegiate athletics.
With academics at the center of each member’s philosophy, the PAC is built on the principle that an athletic
program is a part of college life, but not an entity in itself.
During the 2005-06 academic year, Chatham, Geneva
and Saint Vincent all joined the PAC. Chatham competed
for PAC championships for the first time during the 200708 academic year.
Saint Vincent first competed for conference titles in 201011. Geneva became eligible for conference titles in 201112.
The PAC annually crowns champions in 19 sports. AllConference status is awarded in all 19 sports. Head coaches
select all-league squads for all team sports, while in individual sports such as cross country and tennis, all-PAC accolades are based upon performances at the conference
championships.
The PAC annually awards its men’s and women’s AllSports Trophies to the schools which perform best across
the board in conference competition.
Grove City won the Women’s All-Sports Trophy for the
2013-14 academic year while Washington & Jefferson
earned the Men’s All-Sports Trophy.
In 2013-14, the league named a conference-record 902
student-athletes to the PAC Academic Honor Roll, which
recognizes all participating student-athletes who attain a
term grade-point average of 3.60 or above during their
semester of competition.

GROVE CITY COLLEGE
PROGRAM HISTORY
PROGRAM HISTORY
Since its inception in the 1898-99 season, the Grove
City College men’s basketball team has compiled over 1,100
wins and numerous championships while producing an innumerable number of outstanding players.
Grove City began play late in the 1898-99 season with
a 32-9 loss at Allegheny in Meadville, Pa. After winning just
three of its first 13 games in the first three seasons, Grove
City found success in early years of the 20th Century.
Edward Campbell took over as player-head coach in
1901 and directed the Wolverines to Tri-State championships in 1903 and 1905. In his four seasons as head coach,
Campbell compiled a 50-13 mark.
Frank Hays, William Brown and Fred Locke all spent
time at the helm in the latter half of the decade before Weir
C. Ketler took control in 1910.
Ketler, who later became President of Grove City College from 1916 to 1956, coached the team for three seasons.
Under Ketler’s tutelage, Grove City went 32-7, including the undefeated team of 1911-1912, the only perfect
squad in program history.
The College played its home games in the basement
of Carnegie Library during that time period. The floor was
small and the ceiling low.
Grove City had to rely on teamwork in order to work
the ball through the defense for short shots under the basket.
In the 1912-13 season, Grove City moved into a new
gymnasium on Main Street, which became the premier facility in the district.
The gymnasium became a hotbed of district college
and high school games and hosted Mercer County, Northwest Pennsylvania and Western Pennsylvania high school
tournament games.
Howard Acher, who played for Ketler, spent four total
years over two stints as head coach during the World War
I years while Harold White guided the 1917-1918 team.
The 1905 Tri-State Champion Team
24
The 1921 Tri-State Champion Team
In 1920, Robert E. Thorn took over as head coach.
Thorn’s first squad went 16-1, igniting the program’s most
successful run during the early years.
Between 1920 and 1928, the Crimson and White went
114-32 (.781). The 1921-22 team represented the East Region at the National Intercollegiate Tournament in Indianapolis.
The next season, Grove City upset both the University
of Pittsburgh, 36-34, and West Virginia University, 38-9.
In that win at WVU, Grove City held West Virginia without a field goal for the entire game as all nine points came
from the foul line.
Thorn coached the team through the mid-1930s until
1937, when Jim Loveless took over as head coach.
As World War II ignited, male enrollment at the College dropped sharply. Grove City did not field a team in
1943-44 but resumed intercollegiate action in the 1944-45
season under head coach Charles Ruffner.
Thorn returned as head coach for one more season
before Loveless began a second run as head coach in 1947.
Loveless coached until 1954, with four winning seasons in a
five-year span highlighting his stint.
During Loveless’ tenure, Grove City opened the Grove
City College Arena on Dec. 5, 1953 and also played its 50th
season of basketball.
Al Pesek then coached for one season before Jim Curry
led Grove City to a 13-5 record in 1955-56.
Jack Behringer, Grove City’s athletic director for 40 years,
then directed the squad to a 12-6 mark the following season.
Dan Leviton then succeeded Behringer as head coach
in the 1956-57. The five-year Leviton era produced the
College’s first three 1,000-point scorers.
Dutch Leonard (1955-59) became the first four-digit
scorer in Grove City history while Tom Robinson (1957-62)
and Bart Niemeyer (1958-62) also went over 1,000 points.
Grove City also played its 1,000th game on Feb. 17,
1962 against Allegheny.
PROGRAM HISTORY
His 2,234 career points are by far the most in College
history.
In his senior year, Grove City highlighted a 19-5 campaign by upsetting nationally-ranked Ashland, 41-40, in December 1968.
John Cochran became the College’s second all-time
leading scorer during the 1969-70 season with 1,352 career points after averaging 21.6 points that year.
In 1971, Russ Trimmer replaced Wettig as head coach,
going 12-12 in his only season.
After 12 years at Lexington High School in Ohio, John
Barr assumed control of the Grove City program in the fall
of 1972. Barr would eventually lead Grove City to over 300
wins and three league titles in 26 years as head coach.
Despite Fred Schwab (1970-74) moving into third place
on Grove City’s all-time scoring list with 1,215 points, the
Wolverines suffered three consecutive sub-.500 seasons
under Barr.
But in 1975-76, Barr’s efforts began to pay off. Grove
City went 16-6 and qualified for the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament for the first time in school history.
Two years later, Grove City led the nation in field goal
percentage defense, holding teams to just 39.9 percent.
The following year, 1978-79, the Wolverines returned
to the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament. Led by
1,000-point scorers Bill Fox (1,192) and Mike Donahoe
(1,051), Grove City went 18-7 and won its first-ever
postseason game as the Wolverines downed Albright, 7973, in the regional third-place game.
Donahoe and Fox both earned College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America
recognition during that historic 1978-79 campaign.
As the 1980s dawned, Grove City strung together four
straight winning seasons, highlighted by the 1982-83 team
that won a school-record 21 games.
Grove City again reached the NCAA Tournament and
after a 56-52 loss to Widener in the first round, the Wolverines rebounded to drill Moravian, 76-54, in the third-place
game.
All-Time Leading Scorer Jeff Claypool
The 1978-79 NCAA Tournament Team
25
PROGRAM HISTORY
But the most famous Grove City basketball player from
that era became more known for throwing a baseball than
shooting a basketball.
Gary Peters played basketball at Grove City from 195557 before beginning a professional baseball career that
would put him in the national spotlight.
Peters signed with the Chicago White Sox organization
while at Grove City and moved up through their minorleague system.
He broke through in 1963 and earned the American
League’s Rookie of the Year award by going 19-8 with an
AL-best 2.33 earned run average.
Peters led the American League in wins with 20 in 1964
and also led the league in ERA in 1966 with a 1.98 mark. A
two-time All-Star (1964, 1967), Peters finished his career
with the Boston Red Sox.
While Peters baffled American League hitters during
the 1960s, the Grove City basketball program continued to
reach new heights under head coach Cliff Wettig (1962-71).
Dave Marovich fired in 1,072 points in just three seasons while Ron Arrington scored 1,069 points from 1962 to
1966 to lead the Wolverines in the mid-1960s.
All-time leading scorer Jeff Claypool arrived on campus from Lexington, Ohio in the fall of 1965 and quickly
made his mark on the program by averaging 20 points per
game his freshman season.
Claypool then averaged 25 points per game in 196667 before posting 29.6 points per night as a junior.
As a senior in 1968-69, Claypool poured in 686 points
for an average of 29.8 per game. That is still the school
single-season record.
GROVE CITY COLLEGE
PROGRAM HISTORY
PROGRAM HISTORY
Timko led the nation in three-point percentage and his
670 points that year is the second-highest single-season
total in program history.
Meanwhile, forward Benjamin Davis finished with 1,094
points in his four seasons.
Both the 1994-95 and 1995-96 teams won 16 games
and reached the ECAC Tournament. Forward Dan Von
Handorf (1,029) and guard Jim Wherley (1,162) both finished their careers as 1,000-point scorers.
Von Handorf joined Claypool as the only Grove City
player to score 400 points in a season twice.
During that 1995-96 season, Barr earned his 300th victory with a 71-59 home win over Waynesburg Feb. 17, 1996.
Grove City also won its 1,000th game that year.
Barr’s final squad featured no seniors but still managed to work its way into contention for the PAC crown.
On “John Barr Day” in the Grove City College Arena,
Grove City nearly rallied from a 25-point deficit before falling to conference champion Thiel to close the 1997-98 season.
Following Barr’s retirement, a new era of Wolverine
basketball began as assistant coach Steve Lamie took over
as head coach prior to the 1998-99 season.
A 1985 graduate of the College, Lamie played on the
1983 NCAA Tournament team and had assisted Barr for
four seasons. His first team used an iron-clad defense to
win the program’s fourth PAC title.
The 1982-83 NCAA Tournament Team
Bob Crow (1,450) and Mark Smith (1,171) each closed
their careers by finishing among Grove City’s top 10 alltime in scoring.
The 1983-84 season marked Grove City’s final as a Division III independent. Grove City went 15-11 in that final
season before embarking on a new challenge: the Presidents’ Athletic Conference.
Gone from the schedule in 1984-85 were state schools
Edinboro, Clarion and Slippery Rock. Instead, the Wolverines would play teams such as Washington & Jefferson,
Carnegie Mellon and Hiram twice yearly.
Following a 7-15 overall mark in their first season in
the PAC, the Wolverines followed with three consecutive
11-11 seasons. In that span, Deron Ryan (1984-88) became
the 13th 1,000-point scorer in College history with 1,205
points.
Grove City became the dominant team of the Presidents’ Athletic Conference in the late 1980s as the Wolverines captured three consecutive PAC titles.
The 1988-89 team won Grove City’s first PAC crown
and finished with a 20-6 mark, the second-most wins in
school history.
Led by senior Joe Buckley, who finished his career with
1,413 points, Grove City again advanced to the NCAA Championship Tournament.
The Wolverines fell to Washington (Md.) in the regional
semifinals but recovered for a 74-60 win over Susquehanna
in the third place game.
Grove City again won conference titles in 1989-90 (1412) and 1990-91 (17-7). Tim Mokma became the sixth 1,000point scorer in the Barr era, finishing with 1,197 points at
the conclusion of the 1990-91 year.
Although the Wolverines were unable to maintain their
hold on the Presidents’ Athletic Conference title, the
postseason berths continued in the mid-1990s. Grove City
captured bids to the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Tournament in 1993-94, 1994-95 and 1995-96.
Grove City also produced a pair of 1,000-point scorers
in 1994. Guard Mark Timko set a new College single-game
and Grove City College Arena record with 47 points in the
home finale against Waynesburg, finishing his three-year
career at Grove City with 1,255 points that season.
All-Time Coaching Wins Leader John Barr

PROGRAM HISTORY
Tanner Prosser -- All-Time Assist Leader,
Second-Leading Rebounder, Fifth-Leading Scorer
Center Andy O’Keefe became Grove City’s 24th all-time
1,000-point scorer and graduated as the program’s alltime leader in field goal percentage.
He also earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors,
joining Joe Burns (1977), Dirk Vandermeer (1977), Fox (1978),
Donahoe (1979), Smith (1983) and Curt Siverling (1984,
1985) as the program’s Academic All-Americans.
Brett Matson became the program’s 25th 1,000-point
scorer during the 2011-12 season, finishing with 1,108 points.
Lamie earned his 200th win February 9, 2013 when Grove
City downed Geneva on Hall of Fame Day, 80-77.
The 2006-07 PAC Championship Team
27
PROGRAM HISTORY
Grove City had just one double-digit scorer and no
player average more than 12 points per game in 1998-99.
But the Wolverines held opponents to just 60 points
per game and limited the opposition to just 36.3 percent
shooting from the floor, an all-divisions NCAA record.
The Wolverines finished 16-9 and advanced to the ECAC
Southern Championship Tournament. Grove City went 7-1
in conference play to earn the championship.
Grove City followed a 17-win season in 2001-02 by racing out to a 6-0 start in 2002-03. The Wolverines ultimately
captured the PAC title and hosted Neumann College in an
ECAC quarterfinal game.
It was the first-ever home playoff game for Grove City,
which finished the season 18-9.
Grove City secured its fourth straight winning season
in 2003-04 as Prosser became the program’s 20th 1,000point scorer.
He finished his career in fifth place on Grove City’s alltime list with 1,263 points and tops in assists with 367 for
his career.
Forward Ryan Eller became the program’s 21st 1,000point scorer in 2004-05 as the Wolverines earned their fifth
straight winning season.
In 2007, Grove City captured perhaps its most improbable PAC title as the Wolverines won the conference tournament after entering as the No. 4 seed.
Grove City whipped Waynesburg and Westminster in
the first two rounds of the tournament, then earned the
title with a 60-58 victory at third-seeded W&J.
In 2008, Shawn Carr set a new career record with 207
three-point goals. He also surpassed the 1,000-point mark.
Grove City finished 17-11 overall and advanced to the ECAC
Southern Championship Tournament.
Grove City captured its third straight ECAC berth in
2008-09 after jumping out to a 5-1 start.
Guard Ryan Gibson concluded his career as Grove City’s
17th all-time leading scorer with 1,079 points.
The Wolverines returned to the NCAA Championship
Tournament in 2010 as Grove City captured the conference
title with a 78-61 home win over Thomas More. Grove City
finished the season 19-9 overall.

ABOUT GROVE CITY COLLEGE
ABOUT THE COLLEGE
The beautifully landscaped campus of Grove City College stretches
over 150 acres and includes 28 neoGothic buildings. It is considered one
of the loveliest in the nation.
While the College has changed
to meet the needs of the society it
serves, its basic philosophy has remained unchanged since its founding in 1876. It is a Christian, liberal
arts institution, dedicated to the
principle of providing the highest
quality education at the lowest possible cost.
Wishing to remain truly independent and to retain its distinctive
qualities as a private school governed by private citizens (trustees),
it is one of few colleges in the country that does not accept federal
funds.
Affiliated with the Presbyterian
Church (U.S.A.), but not narrowly denominational, the College believes
that to be well-educated a student
should be exposed to the central
ideas of the Judeo-Christian tradition.
Grove City College offers undergraduate degrees in liberal arts, sciences, engineering, business, and
music and is distinguished as a national leader in education.
Grove City’s programs in electrical and mechanical engineering
are accredited by the Engineering
Accreditation Commission Board of
the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
The “big business school curriculum” prepares students for
today’s global business reality. An
extensive variety of internship opportunities are provided across the
curriculum.
Grove City College wants its students to be prepared in this age of
mobile information technology.
Each entering freshman receives
a tablet computer which is his or hers
to keep upon graduation with a
four-year degree.
This is part of the Information
Technology Initiative, a total program integrating technology across
the curriculum.
PROGRAMS AND MAJORS
Grove City College’s
Breen Student Union
The College believes that its student body has a unique mix of talents and abilities.
Its Career Services program
helps students identify those key assets during the first year and then
builds a four-year strategy to help
them pursue a satisfying career.
Personal counseling, professional speakers, databases, alumni
contacts, summer internships, corporate visits, employer presentations
and more are incorporated into the
career preparation experience.
Grove City follows the semester
calendar plan, in addition to offering two-week sessions in January
and May.
Most of the 2,500 students live
in separate men’s and women’s dormitories. The rest are local commuters or married students.
A full program of cultural, professional, athletic and social activities is offered, including 19 intercollegiate varsity athletic teams.
Grove City, a town of 8,100
people, is located 60 miles north of
Pittsburgh. It is located near
Interstates 79 and 80 and has a municipal airport.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES
All 19 of Grove City College’s intercollegiate
varsity athletic teams utilize the College’s superior
facilities for competition, practices and off-season
training and conditioning.
Grove City’s athletic facilities have undergone
numerous renovations and improvements in recent years, with more upgrades scheduled in the
immediate future.
On lower campus, Robert E. Thorn Field is home
to the College’s football and track and field teams.
The College installed CSTurf at Robert E. Thorn
Field. CSTurf is a synthetic playing surface that
features polyethylene LSR grass fibers and a rubber infill system.
The College also installed lights and resurfaced
the 8-lane track around the field. Grove City also
reconfigured its setup for track meets during these
renovations.
In 2011, the College installed a new state-ofthe-art scoreboard and new bleachers on the visitors’ side at Thorn Field.
These upgrades benefit the entire campus community as the complex is used by both the College’s
club sports teams and its intramural program,
along with the varsity teams.
The track is also available for use by recreational walkers and joggers. The complex also features 10 all-weather tennis courts next to the stadium.
Phillips Field House, located at the north end
of the complex, features several locker rooms, an
athletic training room, meeting rooms and coaches’
offices. It is used by the football, track and tennis
programs throughout the academic year.
The Physical Learning Center (PLC) houses the
Grove City College Arena, home to the College’s
basketball and volleyball programs.
In summer 2012, the College renovated the
Arena by installing new lighting and a new playing
floor. In recent years, the Arena has also received
new scoreboards and scorers’ tables.
The home of Grove City’s football and track and
field teams, Robert E. Thorn Field has received
numerous renovations in recent years.
The James E. Longnecker Pool is one of the nation’s
premier small-college venues for both swimming
and diving and water polo.
35
ATHLETIC FACILITIES
In addition, the PLC features the James E.
Longnecker Pool, one of the premier aquatic facilities in the region. Each year, Grove City hosts the
Presidents’ Athletic Conference Swimming and Diving Championships at the state-of-the-art facility.
In 2012, the College also hosted the Collegiate
Water Polo Association Division III Championships
at the James E. Longnecker Pool.
The PLC also features a second pool, the Recreational Pool, which is used by members of the
College community year-round.
A fitness room featuring aerobic and Cybex
equipment and a separate weight room with free
and mechanized weights are also keystone areas
of the facility.
The PLC also features six racquetball/handball
courts as well as two adjacent intramural rooms.
The intramural rooms each feature four basketball
courts, four indoor tennis courts, four volleyball
courts, an indoor track and two indoor jumping
pits.
The College installed new synthetic flooring and
several new electronic scoreboards throughout the
intramural rooms.
The Physical Learning Center houses the athletic training room, locker rooms and offices for
coaches and physical education faculty.
The College recently constructed a new office
suite for coaches and athletic administration, while
also incorporating its Athletic Hall of Fame area.
Grove City’s outdoor athletic facilities have also
received numerous upgrades in recent years.
The varsity soccer field, College Field, was expanded and re-sodded during the summer of 2005.
College Field also received a new press box during the summer of 2007.
Meanwhile, Grove City’s baseball and softball
facilities recently received major facelifts as new
dugouts, new fencing and electronic scoreboards
were installed on both fields.
