Beaver Falls, PA - The Geneva College women′s volleyball team had is most challenging and most important week of the season with four PAC matches against quality opponents. Midway through that stretch, it′s so far, so good as the Golden Tornadoes defeated Saint Vincent 3-0 on Thursday night to stay perfect in the conference at 7-0. Just two days after defeating Thiel and two days before heading to Kentucky for matches against Thomas More and Bethany, the Golden Tornadoes extended their season long winning streak to five matches and improved to 12-6 for the season. Meanwhile, Saint Vincent fell to 11-5 overall including a 3-3 mark in the conference.
Geneva defeated Saint Vincent by game scores of 25-16, 25-23, 25-19 for its sixth three game sweep of the season.

Briody finished with 39 assists with the majority going to Kristland McCracken, who finished with a team best 14 kills. Maggie Bowersox and Ashley Davis each chipped in with ten kills while Rachel Kuegler added eight. Bowersox also picked up four blocks to lead the defense at the net.
