Geneva rallied to beat W & J by scores of 25-18, 20-25, 15-25, 25-22, 15-12. After taking the first set, the Golden Tornadoes watched a President’s team that fell to 1-8 in the conference with the loss take sets two and three before coming back for the victory.

Ashley Davis and Kristland McCracken led the offense with Davis posting 18 kills and 22 digs while McCracken finished with 15 kills and 21 digs. Deanna Briody came up with 42 assists while Maggie Bowersox was huge on the service line with three aces including a big run of quality serves in the fifth and deciding set.
