BEAVER FALLS, Pa. – The Geneva College football team is headed to the postseason after receiving a bowl bid from the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) on Monday afternoon.  The Golden Tornadoes will travel to SUNY Brockport, near Rochester, New York, to play in the Robert M. "Scotty" Whitelaw Bowl on Saturday.  This is Geneva's first postseason appearance since the Golden Tornadoes won the National Christian College Athletic Association Victory Bowl in 2009.

Geneva earned a spot in the postseason after putting together their first winning season since 2009, clinching the chance to compete in a bowl game with a 43-16 victory at Case Western Reserve on Saturday to finish the regular season 6-4 overall, including a 6-2 record in the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC).  That finish tied for third place in the PAC behind W&J and Grove City, who were both selected for the NCAA Division III Playoffs.

SUNY Brockport finished with an identical 6-4 record, including a 4-3 performance in the Empire 8 conference.  The Golden Eagles boast one of the top running backs in the nation in junior Isaiah Simmons, who is sixth in Division III with 1,338 yards on the ground.  He's averaging 6.1 yards per carry and has scored 19 touchdowns.  The squad is very balanced offensively, rushing for 2,083 yards while passing for 2,141 yards.

This will be the first matchup between these two teams since Geneva defeated Brockport 45-0 in 1989.  Head Coach Geno DeMarco, who will be coaching the last game of his storied 33-year career on Saturday, was an assistant coach for the Golden Tornadoes that season and was on the sidelines for that matchup in Rochester.  Kickoff is scheduled for 12:00 p.m.
