Case Western Reserve University senior quarterback Drew Saxton became the program's all-time leader in career passing yards and touchdowns, and senior running back Antonio Orsini totaled 202 yards of offense, helping to lead the Spartans to a 34-7 win at Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania on Saturday night.

The win was the third straight for the Spartans, who improved to 3-1 overall on the season with a 2-0 record in Presidents' Athletic Conference play.

Saxton finished the game with 205 passing yards to increase his career total to 9,816 yards, surpassing former Spartan Dan Whalen's previous program record of 9,724 yards. Saxton broke the record on a 24-yard touchdown pass to sophomore receiver Ethan Dahlem in the third quarter of the game. He added a 23-yard scoring strike to sophomore receiver Noah Coyne with 14:52 left in the fourth quarter to match Whalen's program record of 87 career passing touchdowns. He completed 13 of his 19 passes in Saturday's game, throwing for the two touchdowns and one interception.

Orsini notched his first 100-yard rushing game of the 2022 campaign, finishing with career highs of 29 carries for 176 yards with a pair of touchdowns. The 176 rushing yards surpassed his previous career best of 124 yards against Grove City on Nov. 6, 2021. Orsini added two catches for 26 yards to surpass 200 yards of total offense in the game.

The Spartans' defense turned in its second-straight strong performance, holding Geneva's triple-option offense to just 172 rushing yards and 219 yards of total offense. Junior linebacker Sean Torres had a team-high 11 tackles, with junior linebackers Gabe Troch and Marco Toth adding 10 and nine, respectively.

The Spartans took the lead late in the first quarter on a 14-yard scoring run by sophomore Gage Duesler, his third of the season, with 14 seconds remaining in the period. Geneva had an answer on its next drive, going 75 yards down the field and scoring on a one-yard run to even the ledger at 7-7 with 10:35 remaining in the half. CWRU regained the lead behind junior running back Antonio Orsini, who carried the ball eight times for 74 yards on a nine-play scoring drive by the Spartans and capped it off with a four-yard run for a touchdown with 2:54 to play in the half, giving the Spartans a 13-7 lead heading into the break.

After the Spartans forced a turnover on downs at their 29-yard line on Geneva's opening drive of the second half, CWRU added to its lead on the next drive with Saxton's record-setting pass to Dahlem with 7:41 to play in the third, putting CWRU ahead 20-7. Saxton extended the team's lead to 27-7 with the 23-yard touchdown pass to Coyne on the first play of the final quarter. Orsini added his second touchdown of the game with a two-yard run with 3:30 to play, ending a 14-play, 80-yard drive that took over eight minutes off the clock and put the game out of reach.

CWRU outgained Geneva 442 to 219 on Saturday night and finished the game with a 33:16 to 26:44 edge in time of possession, despite facing the possession-heavy triple-option attack.

The Spartans will be on the road again next weekend, traveling to Grove City, Pennsylvania for a 2:00 p.m. game against Grove City College.
