(CRESTVIEW HILLS, Ky.) – Four Saints reached double-figures tonight (Wednesday, January 14, 2015) as the Thomas More College men's basketball team defeated Geneva College, 88-66, in a Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) game at the Connor Convocation Center in Crestview Hills, Kentucky.

With the win, the Saints improve to 10-5 overall and 5-1 in the PAC.  With the loss, the Golden Tornadoes fall to 6-9 overall and 3-3 in the PAC.

Thomas More jumped out to a 30-18 lead when sophomore guard/forward Nate McGovney (Alexandria, Ky./Campbell County) made a lay-up with 5:55 to play in the first half.  Geneva answered with a 5-0 run to cut the lead to 30-23 with 4:37 to play in the first half when Anothay Carthen made a three-pointer.  The Saints closed out the half on a 9-5 lead to take a 39-28 lead into the locker rooms.

The Saints opened the second half on a 20-5 run to extend the lead to 59-33 with 14:10 to play in the game when freshman center Louis Maniacci (Burlington, Ky./Cooper) made a lay-up.  The Golden Tornadoes used a 24-12 run to cut the lead to 71-57 on an Ethan Adamcyzk lay-up with 6:11 to play in the game.  That would be as close as Geneva would come as Thomas More closed out the game on a 17-9 run for the 88-66 victory.
