By Danielle Kochka, Sports Information Assistant

WASHINGTON, Pa. -- Beka Bellhy and Rachel Bellhy combined for 37 points and 17 rebounds as the Presidents overcame a sluggish start to post a 76-63 win over Geneva.

With the win, the Presidents improve to 10-2 on the season and remain undefeated in the Presidents' Athletic Conference at 5-0 heading into Saturday's showdown at No. 1-ranked and defending National Champion Thomas More in Kentucky. Geneva moves even at 6-6 and 3-2 in league action.

After falling behind 22-13 after the first quarter, the Presidents were able to bounce back to give themselves a three-point lead going into halftime, 31-28. Beka Bellhy was the surge in the offense in the first half, collecting 13 points going into the break.
 
The third quarter saw a lot of back and forth action, with W&J holding onto a 50-48 lead going into the fourth quarter. The Golden Tornadoes rallied back to take their final lead of the night, 55-54, with 7:38 to play. From there, W&J scored 18 of the next 21 points to open up a game-high 14-point lead at 72-58 with 3:31 on the clock.
 
Four Presidents finished in double figures in the victory. Beka Bellhy led all players with 24 points, also bringing down seven rebounds and dishing out five assists. Rachel Bellhy recorded her first career double-double, with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Danielle Parker shot 6-of-7 from the field, finishing with 12 points, and Ashley Mikelonis had 10 points of her own.
