NORTH CANTON, OH- The Walsh Cavaliers Women's Lacrosse team had quite a busy weekend after their victory over conference rival, Findlay. On a steamy Friday afternoon in Northeast Ohio, the Cavs were defeated by the Lakers from Grand Valley State by a score of 16 to 5. Grand Valley, a top program in the region and country, used an 8-0 third quarter to push their lead and spoil the Cavs hopes of getting the big win. Grand Valley used quick passing schemes to slash through the Walsh defense.
The Maroon and Gold had a short memory of the loss as they came out in a vengeance Sunday, vs Lake Erie College. The Walsh offense was scoring how and whenever they wanted, connecting on nine first quarter goals. 14 different Cavaliers would score in the victory.
Walsh will travel to the University of Findlay on April 21st for a huge G-MAC contest.
