The Geneva College menâ??s basketball team needed a victory in the worst way on Saturday and it got exactly what it needed with perhaps the most complete game of the season. The menâ??s team split a pair of PAC games last week while the womenâ??s team dropped a pair of games following a two-game winning streak.

After falling to Saint Vincent 90-76 last Wednesday, the Geneva men took a five-game losing streak into Saturdayâ??s match-up with Washington & Jefferson. The Golden Tornadoes trailed only twice in the game and managed to hold off the Presidents down the stretch by converting 11-12 free throws in the final two minutes. David Phillips scored a game high 24 points while Matt Lorello added 19 points on a perfect 9-9 shooting effort from the field. The Golden Tornadoes put an end to their losing streak and vaulted into a fifth place tie in the Presidentsâ?? Athletic Conference. Geneva is 4-11 overall and has a 3-4 record in conference play as it takes to the road for a pair of PAC games this week.

Genevaâ??s women could not build on its two-game winning streak from a week ago and lost games to Saint Vincent and Washington & Jefferson last week by an average of 28 points. The offense could not get going in either game as the Golden Tornadoes averaged only 37.5 points in those two losses. Beth DeLuca scored a team high 11 points against Saint Vincent and added 16 more points against W & J. Samantha Fisher started her first game of the season on Saturday and responded with nine points and nine rebounds in 34 minutes of action. Geneva will travel to Westminster and Thomas More next week before returning home on January 25th.
