Coming off a successful 2024-2025 season, the Grove City College women\u2019s basketball team is off to a fast start in 2025-2026, entering their first conference games with an impressive 4-2 record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team, led by third-year Head Coach Jason Baker and four seasoned seniors \u2014 Reese Hasley, Meredith Sherrerd, Emma Ulmer and Katie Hoff \u2014 entered this season ranked second among North Division teams in the PAC coaches\u2019 preseason poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking to improve upon their 13-7 conference record and PAC tournament semifinals setback from last year, this relatively young squad will have their work cut out for them with the likes of Allegheny and Washington & Jefferson to contend with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Wolverines opened the first half of their schedule with a commanding 84-31 win over Carlow \u2014 a victory that featured an impressive 17-point, 10-rebounded double-double performance by Hasley. Hasley\u2019s efforts were supported by junior guard Alexa McDole, who posted a career-high 14 points, and freshman Kate Kline, who contributed 12 points in her first collegiate match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After being dealt a 57-75 loss against Baldwin Wallace in their second match, the team bounced back to topple Mount Aloysius just one day later. The 82-64 victory was made possible through the efforts of four Wolverines \u2014 Sherrerd, McDole and sophomore classmates Kailey Devlin and Brooke McCoy \u2014 who each tallied points well into double digits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grove City then traveled to Alliance, Ohio to take on the Mount Union Purple Raiders, suffering their biggest loss thus far this season with a 44-89 setback against the OAC powerhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three days later, however, the Wolverines would battle back once again, securing a decisive 86-49 victory over Pitt-Greensburg at home. The match was headlined by sophomore forward Alexis Hudson, whose 15-point performance paced the Wolverines. Her efforts were followed by McCoy and Hasley, who notched 14 and 13 points, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Wolverines closed out their first stretch of nonconference competitions with a hard-fought 69-66 win over Kenyon ahead of the Thanksgiving recess. Hasley netted a season-high 18 points to pace Grove City\u2019s offense while Ulmer led the defense with 10 rebounds. The Wolverines hosted the Golden Tornadoes on Wednesday and won 79-63.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking ahead to the remainder of the team\u2019s nonconference opponents, Grove City will face Widener and Regis on Dec. 19 and 20 as part of their winter break training trip to Daytona Beach, Fla. After a short hiatus for the holidays, they will close out this chapter of their season with a Jan. 3 trip to Huntingdon, Pa. to take on Juniata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before the winter break contests, the team will travel to Hiram, Ohio Saturday to take on the Hiram Terriers at 1 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wolverines rally ahead of conference contests<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":576,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[194],"tags":[40,70,24],"class_list":["post-1188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-womens-basketball","tag-issue-2025-12-05","tag-mia-gallagher","tag-sports"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/2025-12-05-29-netting-success-1.jpg",1230,837,false],"thumbnail":["\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/2025-12-05-29-netting-success-1.jpg",150,102,false],"medium":["\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/2025-12-05-29-netting-success-1.jpg",300,204,false],"medium_large":["\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/2025-12-05-29-netting-success-1.jpg",768,523,false],"large":["\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/2025-12-05-29-netting-success-1.jpg",1024,697,false],"1536x1536":["\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/2025-12-05-29-netting-success-1.jpg",1230,837,false],"2048x2048":["\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/2025-12-05-29-netting-success-1.jpg",1230,837,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Ian Schartner","author_link":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/author\/schartnerij23\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Wolverines rally ahead of conference contests","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1188"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1188\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1838,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1188\/revisions\/1838"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Junior](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/2025-12-05-29-netting-success-2.jpg\")
