The Grove City men\u2019s basketball team\u2019s Senior Day victory over Waynesburg brought them to a 10-13 record on Saturday, two games out from the end of the regular season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prior to the 94-73 win, which closed out their home schedule, Grove City honored its four seniors \u2014 guards Kyle Randle and Mike Christenson, as well as forwards Christian Suceveanu and David Olinger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy experience at Grove City, and especially with this team, has been such a tremendous experience. One of the best things about this place is the people, and my teammates have been nothing but supportive and uplifting during my time here. The relationships I have made with my teammates are ones that are going to last a lifetime, and I would not have wanted to do it with anyone else,\u201d Suceveanu said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was also a big night for the Grove City record books. Randle not only tied the men\u2019s basketball single-game three-point record, but also recorded a career-high 32 points, greatly contributing to the win with over one third of the team\u2019s points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He went eight for 16 from behind the three-point line, chalking up 24 points strictly from three-pointers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was really special to have my career high on senior night. I couldn\u2019t have asked for a better game for myself or from the team on a better night. Being able to tie a record and have my name in the record books is something I never had in mind, but I\u2019m grateful for it,\u201d Randle said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to Randle\u2019s outstanding performance, junior center Austin Johncour recorded a career-high 21-point, 10-rebound double-double, and Christenson put up 19 points in the triumph over the Yellow Jackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Wolverines led 30-15 midway through the first half after consecutive shots from junior guard Colton Martin and Johncour. Waynesburg clipped the lead to 45-38 by halftime, but Grove City was able to stay on top in the second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They maintained the advantage at 72-64 with six minutes remaining and then broke away with a 19-2 run sparked by a putback from sophomore guard Anderson Skelton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martin drained a jumper, Johncour contributed with a three-point play completed at the free throw line and junior forward Caleb Haller scored a basket in the paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grove City finished out their 19-point surge with four Christenson free throws, two from Martin and a dunk from Randle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne thing we did really well as a team was rebounding offensively and defensively. We only gave up three offensive rebounds to our opponent and grabbed 24 offensive rebounds ourselves, which really gave us control over the game,\u201d Randle stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haller and Randle each recorded eight rebounds, and Christenson and Martin each contributed seven. The team\u2019s 24 offensive rebounds led them to finish with an overall 55-21 margin on the glass. Their plus-34 margin is the largest for the Wolverines since a 65-27 edge on Jan. 14, 2023, against Washington & Jefferson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grove City closes out the regular season at 3 p.m. tomorrow against the Thiel Tomcats in Greenville, Pa., with the PAC playoffs soon to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn order to win in the playoffs, you have to play two good halves. Our first half against Waynesburg wasn\u2019t as good as our second half. Once we get to playoff time, we need to play 40 minutes of great basketball to put ourselves in a position to win,\u201d Christenson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Men\u2019s basketball triumphs on Senior Day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":725,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[193],"tags":[47,61,24],"class_list":["post-1338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mens-basketball","tag-issue-2026-02-20","tag-natalie-hanna","tag-sports"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/2026-02-20-29-waynesburg-walloped-1.jpg",1280,1091,false],"thumbnail":["\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/2026-02-20-29-waynesburg-walloped-1.jpg",150,128,false],"medium":["\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/2026-02-20-29-waynesburg-walloped-1.jpg",300,256,false],"medium_large":["\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/2026-02-20-29-waynesburg-walloped-1.jpg",768,655,false],"large":["\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/2026-02-20-29-waynesburg-walloped-1.jpg",1024,873,false],"1536x1536":["\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/2026-02-20-29-waynesburg-walloped-1.jpg",1280,1091,false],"2048x2048":["\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/2026-02-20-29-waynesburg-walloped-1.jpg",1280,1091,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Ian Schartner","author_link":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/author\/schartnerij23\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Men\u2019s basketball triumphs on Senior Day","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1338","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=1338"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1338\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1732,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1338\/revisions\/1732"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Senior](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/2026-02-20-29-waynesburg-walloped-2.jpg\")
