NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.--The Westminster College men's basketball team suffered a 99-94 overtime loss to Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) rival Geneva College Wednesday night at Ron Galbreath Court inside Buzz Ridl Gymnasium.

Six Westminster players finished in double figures. Freshman Trey DePietro (Boardman, Ohio | Boardman) posted an 18-point, 10-rebound double-double. It was his third double-double of the year. Junior Andrew Clark (New Middletown, Ohio | Springfield Local) registered 18 points and eight rebounds. 

Freshman Bobby Ray (Jefferson, Ohio | Jefferson) added 14 points and five rebounds while senior Austin O'Hara (Girard, Ohio | Girard) finished with 13 points and six boards. Junior Reese Leone (Beloit, Ohio | West Branch) and freshman Quincy Jones (Youngstown, Ohio | Chaney) scored 12 and 10 points, respectively. Leone had a season-high seven assists. 

Ryan Rachic led Geneva with game highs in points (32) and rebounds (16). Trevor Tipton finished with 28 points and five boards. 

Westminster shot 43.4 percent (33-76) from the field and hit 9-of-21 (42.9%) three-point field goal attempts. Geneva finished shooting 46.4 percent (32-69) from the floor and knocked down 14-of-27 (51.9%) of its three-point attempts. 

Geneva outrebounded Westminster 44-39. 

After DePietro's bucket put Westminster up two, 31-29, with under five minutes to go in the first half, Geneva used a 14-3 scoring run to head into the break up nine, 43-34. Ryan Rachic had 17 first half points to lead the Golden Tornadoes, going 6-of-9 from the field. 

Ryan Rachic drilled a three-pointer with under 11 minutes to play in the second that extended Geneva's lead to 13, 64-51. The Titans doubled up the Golden Tornadoes 26-13 over the final 10:43 to tie the game at 77-77 at the end of regulation. Clark's putback with just over a minute remaining evened the score. He scored 14 of his 18 points in the second half. 

O'Hara buried a three-pointer with 4:24 to go in overtime that gave Westminster an 80-79 lead. Geneva, fueled by a 12-3 scoring run, pushed its lead to eight, 91-83, on a Trevor Tipton three-pointer with just over a minute remaining. Leone's jumper with 10 seconds to go cut the deficit to three, 97-94, but Trevor Tipton hit a pair of late free throws to secure the five-point conference victory for Geneva.
