Westminster closes road slate with win at Geneva

BEAVER FALLS, Pa.--Senior quarterback Billy Levak (Macedonia, Ohio, Nordonia) had a career day for Westminster College in Saturday's 56-7 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) victory over longtime rival Geneva College at Reeves Field. 

Westminster ran its season record to 7-2 with the win. The Titans have now won 12 straight games against the Golden Tornadoes and sport a 7-3 record in Beaver Falls since 2000. 

Levak completed 17-of-23 passes (.739) for 293 yards and four touchdowns. He also rushed six times for 49 yards and scored on a five-yard run late in the third quarter.

Junior wide receiver Taite Beachy (Moon Township, Pa., Moon) caught a six-yard touchdown pass with just over two minutes to go in the first and added a second score on a 21-yard reception just over a minute before halftime. It was his second two-touchdown game this season (2, at Bethany, 10/12). Beachy now has 10 career touchdown catches. Senior wide receiver Jalen Washington (Orlando, Fla., Dr. Phillips) caught five passes for a career-high 146 yards and touchdown. He scored on a 54-yard strike with 10 minutes to go in the third. Through 37 career games Washington has 95 catches for 1,295 yards and 12 touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Ethan Burford (Shippenville, Pa., Clarion) hauled in three catches for 37 yards, scoring on a 14-yard pass from Levak with just under two minutes go in the third quarter. He has scored in back-to-back weeks for the first time in his career.

Westminster grinded out 282 yards on the ground. Saturday was Westminster's highest rushing output running 52 times for 297 yards in a 42-21 win over Bethany College on March 19, 2021. 

Sophomore running back Elijah Grayer (Monee, Ill., Crete-Monee) had the first 100-yard game of his career, going for 109 yards and a score on eight carries. He scored on a 72-yard jaunt with 12 seconds left in the first. Grayer also opened the second half with a career-long 85-yard kickoff return. He is averaging over 43 yards per kickoff return this season. Sophomore running back Clayton Cannon Jr. (Parkland, Fla., Marjory Stoneman Douglas) ran five times for 70 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He scored on an 11-yard run early in the second quarter and closed out the scoring with a 51-yard rush in the fourth. It was his second game this season with two rushing scores (2, at Allegheny, 9/21).

Senior safety Brice Butler (Farrell, Pa., Farrell) finished with seven tackles (5-2) while freshman linebacker Ricky Cooper (Port St. Lucie, Fla., Port St. Lucie) posted seven tackles (2-5) with a half-sack. Senior defensive back Nate Bortnick (Conneautville, Pa., Conneaut) totaled a career-high six tackles (4-2) and his fourth quarter interception of Frankie Whitmore was the first of his career. Bortnick also had a tackle for loss. Senior defensive back Kevin Wright's (West Palm Beach, Fla., Seminole Ridge) third quarter interception of Caleb Romano was his first since Oct. 28, 2023, a 22-20 road win at Saint Vincent College. Saturday's interception was the seventh of his career. Senior defensive lineman Jean Garry Joseph (North Miami, Fla., Ebenezer Christian) racked up three tackles (2-1), 2.5 tackles for loss and a half-sack while sophomore defensive tackle Jayden Jackson (Fort Pierce, Fla., Centennial) added two tackles (2 solo) and a sack. 

Westminster's defense generated 9.0 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks Saturday and limited Geneva to just 2-of-12 on third downs.
