The Geneva College menâ??s basketball team faced off against it two longest standing rivals this past week and came away with bragging rights against them both. With victories over Grove City and Westminster, the Golden Tornadoes improved to 11-4 on the season which matches its best start to a season since 2000. In womenâ??s action, the Golden Tornadoes dropped a pair of games to Grove City and Westminster and dipped below the .500 mark for only the second time this season at 7-8.

Carugati scored a season high 19 points and grabbed six rebounds in the loss. She was 6-11 from the field including three field goals from beyond the three point arc.
