NORTH CANTON, OH: Walsh closed out the year at home on Senior Day, in a tight battle against the Northwood Timberwolves.

They would also honor all veterans and first responders at the game in a Salute to Service Day.
 
Northwood started the game out strong, scoring 2 touchdowns in the first quarter including a 65-yard kickoff return ­­­­by Deonte Higgins. Walsh would climb back though, driving down and scoring late in the second quarter after a 1-yard touchdown run from Dom Jennings. The Cavs went into the half down 17-14, but with all the momentum.
 
The momentum quickly shifted to start the second half as Deonte Higgins took another kickoff 95-yards to the endzone to give Northwood a 24-14 lead. Again, Walsh answered back with a 32-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Hayden Wickard to wider receiver Anthony Harris. After another Northwood touchdown, Walsh had one final drive to try to force overtime.
