Slow start too much to overcome, Geneva women fall to Waynesburg 86-68

BEAVER FALLS, PA

A slow start from the field was too much for the Golden Tornadoes again as Geneva fell to 4-12 overall and 2-7 in Presidents’ Athletic Conference. In the first half, Geneva connected on just 1/3 of its shots from the field (making just two of eight three-pointers) and Waynesburg had built a 35-20 halftime lead.

“Defensively, I thought we started well but we couldn’t put the ball in the basket,” said Geneva coach Lori Wynn. “I didn’t see that in the pregame but, then again, you usually don’t.

“We’re just not shooting well now as a team and that makes everything tough. This team has such great chemistry that sometimes we pass too much but we’ll work through it.”

Although the offense sputtered early, Geneva did have a pair of players score 20 - junior Heidi Mann (Colorado Springs, CO/Evangelical Christian Academy) and sophomore Nicole Hyland (Trafford, PA/Penn-Trafford).  Hyland also grabbed 10 rebounds to record a double-double. Freshman Lydia Songer (Wexford, PA/Pine-Richland) added 12 points.

Geneva will return to action Saturday at 1:00 at Thiel.
