Student Shout Out: Geoff Reeves helps make Cornell sports history!

GEOFF REEVESIt was history in the making last Friday when the Cornell Men’s basketball team returned home to a celebrity-style welcome.  Among the team members is Ag Sciences senior, and number 15, Geoff Reeves. As described on his profile page for the team, Geoff is one of the team’s top athletes, he emerged as a starter as a junior. A deadeye shooter who can create his own offense, Reeves is an efficient scorer who has shown the ability to get in the lane at will. The 6-4 Reeves is also one of the top backcourt defenders in the Ivy League. His experience in the lineup will be key as yet another dangerous threat Cornell can put on the court.

Geoff, we are proud of you!
