Box Score

(CANTON, Ohio) Despite valiant efforts from Gina Kramer and Kelsey Snider, Malone (3-7, 1-4) kept Walsh (0-9, 0-5) from breaking into the win column by defeating the Cavs in four sets by the scores of 25-17, 19-25, 23-25 and 17-25 in a Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference contest at Osborne Hall. Walsh plays its first home match of the season on Friday night, when they meet Ferris State University at Alumni Arena at 7 pm.

Walsh won the first set, which was tight through out. Walsh led 16-15, but closed the match with a 9-4 run to go up 1-0.
