GROVE CITY, Pa. – Junior quarterback Jacob Pugh (Jefferson Hills, Pa./Thomas Jefferson) tossed for a career-high 396 yards and three touchdowns, but it was host Grove City who edged the Presidents by a 31-24 score in battle of unbeatens at Robert E. Thorn Field Saturday afternoon. The loss snapped W&J’s 10-game winning streak in the head-to-head series with Grove City. The Presidents are now 4-1 overall. The Wolverines are now in sole possession of first place and in the driver’s seat to capture their first conference title since 1998. Grove City has defeated Case Western Reserve, Carnegie Mellon and W&J in consecutive weeks to start a season 5-0 for the first time since 1926. W&J held a 24-17 lead entering the fourth quarter, but a pair of Grove City touchdowns coupled with a pair of turnovers by the Red and Black enabled the Wolverines to claim their first win in the series since 2011.
