NORTH CANTON, OH: The Maroon and Gold of the Walsh Men's Basketball team returned to Alumni Arena last night to host the final home game of 2023. Coming off of the holiday break, the Men defeated Carnegie Mellon, 75-65. After the first bucket, Walsh never trailed and had a comfortable 6 point lead at the break.

The Cavaliers scored 19 second chance points off the dominating rebounding performance. 

Three Cavs were in double figures with Kobe Mitchell leading the way with 23 points. This was his 4th 20+ point performance of the season thus far.
