However, an 11-1 run by Case Western Reserve in the final minutes of the half made the deficit double digits and Geneva never cut it closer than nine in the second half.
“Case Western is a really good team - they’re not 7-2 by accident – plus they’re one of the best shooting college teams I’ve seen since some of the teams we used to have at Geneva,” said Geneva coach Jeff Santarsiero. “We battled with them but hit some dry spells and you just can’t do that against good teams.
“We didn’t score the first four minutes of the second half and that made the hole just too big to dig out of. Overall, we just didn’t play well enough.”
Geneva was led by junior Ethan Adamczyk (Uniontown, OH/Lake) with 16 points and senior Tyler Damazo (Beaver Falls, PA/Blackhawk) had 11 points and a team-high seven rebounds.
Geneva, now 3-7 overall will play again Tuesday against St. Vincent at 2:00 and return to conference action Saturday at 3:00, visiting Grove City.
