Coming in having won nine of its last ten matches, Geneva took a step backwards with a 1-0 loss to the Pioneers. Geneva′s overall record fell to 9-3 as it was unable to solve the Malone defense.\nAfter each team went to the halftime break scoreless, neither team could find the net midway through half number two. Despite chances on both sides, Geneva and Malone remained scoreless until the Pioneers untied the contest with the only goal of the match in the 70th minute.\nGeneva could not generate many opportunities in the final 20 minutes and suffered only its second loss in its last 11 games.\nSam McCracken, who entered the game having allowed just five goals all season, was once again at the top of his game. McCracken kept Geneva in the contest, although the Golden Tornadoes could not find the recipe for offensive success.\nGeneva will try to get back into the win column next Wednesday when it gets back into its PAC schedule with a trip to Saint Vincent. The Golden Tornadoes will return home next Friday night against Waynesburg.  ","author":null,"publishDate":"2007-10-06","type":"Athletics Press Release","title":"Second Half Goal Sinks Geneva Against Malone 2007","imageDesc":"","url":"/article/io_1191704182147","blogCategories":"","id":"8bd1342a0a1504317d582674385759fc","detailUrl":"/news/2007/10/io_1191704182147.json","sourcePath":null,"slug":"io_1191704182147"}}
