STRONG GROUND GAME HELPS WALSH GET A WIN IN COLUMBUS

COLUMBUS, OH: Walsh University Football rallied for a 29-25 victory over Ohio Dominican on Saturday afternoon. The victory is the Cavs fifth win of the season, snapping the recent four game skid.

The Cavaliers overcame an early deficit and put together a strong offensive performance, totaling 506 yards of offense, including 347 rushing yards. Walsh found the end zone four times on the ground while adding a field goal to secure the road victory.

Ohio Dominican opened the scoring with a 35-yard field goal before Walsh answered with a one-yard touchdown run from Jake Gill. The Panthers responded with a rushing touchdown to take a 10-6 lead after the first quarter.

The Panthers scored again quickly into the second quarter, pushing the home lead to 13-6. The Maroon and Gold continued to battle as Stevie Diamond broke into the end zone on a six-yard rushing touchdown, followed by a Brendan Zurbrugg rushing score, from 18 yards. Walsh carried a 19-13 advantage into halftime.

Walsh extended its lead in the third quarter with a 30-yard field goal from Brock Huggins. That field goal were the only points scored in the period. The fourth Cav touchdown of the day came early in the fourth quarter when Ethan Lorenzana broke free for a 35-yard rushing touchdown, putting Walsh ahead 29-13.

Ohio Dominican did not go down easy as they made a late push with two touchdown passes at the 7:09 and 1:53 mark but Walsh held on to secure the 29-25 victory.
