TIFFIN, OH: Walsh Women's Basketball traveled west, despite frigid temperatures, to take on the Tiffin Dragons in a midweek contest. Although it was cold outside, the Cavs heated up the gym to start, scoring 24 first quarter points and building a 13 point edge. Quickly, the Dragons heated up as well, flipping the 2nd quarter script, outscoring Walsh, 24-13.
The excitement of the close conference contest warmed everyone up as the home fans saw the Dragons blaze ahead by as much as 15 points with 2 minutes remaining. The Cavs were able to cut the deficit to three, with 21 seconds left, but never got the opportunity to get the ball back.
The Maroon and Gold have a quick turnaround this week as they will face the G-MAC leading, Malone Pioneers, inside Alumni Arena, on Thursday, at 5:30pm. All fans are encouraged to bring spare change to support the Walsh and Malone SAAC Coin War!
