BEAVER FALLS, PA -- The La Roche men's soccer team closed non conference play with a 5-0 loss at Geneva on Wednesday night under the lights. The Redhawks will host Penn State Behrend in their AMCC opener on Saturday.

 

Geneva's Cole Sauer opened the scoring, deflecting a throw into a goal in the twelfth minute.

The Golden Tornadoes held a 14-4 first half shot advantage and Austin Gorman made three saves.

 

Geneva's David McKinley headed in a free kick goal in the sixty-eighth minute. McKinley struck again with a header goal in the seventy-ninth minute. Geneva's Reed McCreery provided the fifth goal just before the final whistle for the 5-0 victory.
