(CANTON, Ohio) Walsh (2-5, 2-5) ended a five-game losing streak, and retained the Dick Gallagher/John Bankert Memorial Trophy, with a 35-13 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference win over rival Malone University (1-6, 1-6) before 2400 fans at Fawcett Stadium tonight. Walsh now leads the all-time series against Malone 14-6, and has won the last six meetings.

Walsh put 21 points on the board in the second quarter and took the lead into the locker room at halftime.

The Cavs had the football in Malone territory the entire first quarter, but came away empty after missing a 31-yard field goal.

Walsh's first score came at 13:40 of the second quarter when Jerald Robinson caught a 27-yard TD strike between two receivers from Paul Kempe. The Cavs would then add two scores in the final 1:50 of the first half, the first on a one-yard run by Justin Keith. Walsh stitched one of their finest drives of the season going 58 yards in 14 plays.

After a quick three and out by Malone, the Cavs reached into their bag of tricks and scored with six seconds to go in the half on a halfback option pass from Blake Williams to Jerald Robinson from 33 yards out.

Walsh's C. J. Chatman then tied a school record when he took the second kickoff 100 yards for a score to give the Cavs a 28-0 lead.

Malone would answer right away, as Ronnie Beers raced 72 yards for a score 19 seconds later to trim the Walsh lead to 28-7.

The Pioneers would add a 36-yard field from Marcus Moeller at 7:37 of the third period to cut the lead to 28-10.

Walsh would fumble on the next possession, and Malone would return the loose ball 40 yards for a score, but would have it nullified by an illegal block below the knees.

The Pioneers would add another Moeller field goal at 11:28 of the fourth quarter to trail 28-13.

Walsh would put the icing on the cake when Kalvin Gordon scored on a two-yard run with 8:21 to play.
