WAYNESBURG, Pa. (Oct. 22) – In front of a chilly senior night crowd, the Waynesburg men's soccer team and their opponents from Geneva went back-and-forth under the lights of John F. Wiley Stadium.

Geneva (11-4) jumped out to a 3-0 lead early in the second period off of a pair of goals by Bruce Fox and one more by Josh Mann.

Waynesburg (5-10-2) cut the deficit to 3-2 during the 76th minute thanks to freshman David Floyd burying his second goal of the year. Again, Munnell recorded an assist on the score.
Unfortunately, the Jackets allowed a second goal to Mann during the 79th minute that sealed the deal for Geneva.

Total shots for the two teams were close as the Tornadoes held a slim 13-11 advantage on the evening.
