In the first-ever meeting between the two schools, Walsh University defeated the Northern Michigan University soccer team
in a 1-0 decision on Friday (Oct. 26) from the NMU soccer field. The
‘Cats now fall to 3-13 overall and 2-10 in Great Lakes Intercollegiate

The goal was by Jessie Gearhart after she rebounded a shot from her
teammate, Kristen Conti.
The ‘Cats finished the game with six shots on goal, while Walsh had
four. NMU goalie freshman Shelby Conard had three saves for the night.
