GREENVILLE, Pa. – The Geneva College men's golf team dropped its dual match against Thiel on Wednesday afternoon, played at Avalon at Buhl Country Club, by a score of 315-338, though it was the best performance so far in the young season for the Golden Tornadoes.

Freshman Michael DeMiere (Huntingdon, Pa./Norwin) and sophomore Jacob DeLisio (New Brighton, Pa./New Brighton) led Geneva by both shooting an 81, the best single score so far this year for any Golden Tornado in their return to varsity competition.  Senior Trent Belleville (Washington, Pa./McGuffey) was third for Geneva with an 87, while freshman Timothy Ehko (Greencastle, Pa./Greencastle-Antrim) and senior Brady Corklin (Titusville, Pa./Titusville) rounded out the top five for Geneva by carding an 88.

"Today we improved, which is good, but we left a lot of shots out there," said Head Coach Andrew Fee.  "Thiel was solid around the greens, and we were not today, and that made the difference.  We were only down six strokes at the turn, which shows we didn't perform well on the back nine."

The men return to action next Monday, September 20, at the Saint Vincent College Invitational, hosted at the Arnold Palmer's Latrobe Country Club.  Tee time starts at 11:00 a.m.
