NORTH CANTON, OH: The Maroon and Gold opened up Great Midwest play this evening against the Cedarville Yellow Jackets. The Cavaliers defeated the Yellow Jackets at the end of last season and were looking to continue the win streak. Walsh started the night on the right foot, outscoring Cedarville, 19-12.

The final period was a battle. With 21 seconds left,
Izzy Callaway's foul shot put the Cavs up by three points. Cedarville played spoiler, connecting on a layup and a jump shot to go ahead by 1 with about 2 seconds to go. With a Walsh time out and the front court advancement,
