Beaver Falls, PA – After a silent first half, Geneva and the visiting Bethany College Bison were forced inside due to a lighting delay. Sophomore running back Collin Kendrick (Coopersburg, PA/Southern Lehigh) wasted no time starting the first play out of the lighting delay with a 20-yard rush. Geneva’s offense exploded, finding Bethany’s end zone three times in the fourth quarter for a 21-0 win in the season’s home opener. Now 1-1, 0-0 in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference, Geneva will face Saint Vincent on the road at 1 p.m., playing for its first mark in the conference.

Sophomore running back Nick Monteleone (East Palestine, OH/East Palestine/Youngstown State) breached the Bison end zone in the 12th minute of the fourth with a 12-yard run.

Kelosky’s five-yard run put another six points on the board for Geneva.

Javid Ellis (Port St Lucie, FL/Saint Lucie West Centennial) 13-yard run handed Geneva its third TD.

Senior kicker Neil Harrison (Canonsburg, PA/Peters Twp.) had a perfect day with PATs going 3-3.

Freshmen punter Robert Fish (Cutler, OH/Warren) had an outstanding game tallying 263 yards with six punts.

Sophomore running back Trewon Marshall (Leetsdale, PA/Quaker Valley) led Geneva’s rushing with 23 carries for 131 yards.

On the defensive side of the ball, senior linebacker Jimmy Quinlan (Brookfield, OH/Brookfield) earned 11 tackles, a sack, and two tackles for loss. Senior linebacker Jon Fiscus (Freedom, PA/Freedom) opened up his senior campaign at home with nine tackles, two sacks, four tackles for loss, and one forced fumble. Finally, senior linebacker Austin Mirizio (West Middlesex, PA/West Middlesex) earned a stellar interception running it back into Bison territory with a 50-yard return. In addition, Mirizio earned two tackles, one for a three-yard loss.
