TEAMLINE.
WALSH: Walsh (2-5, 2-5) snapped a fivegame losing streak with a 35-13 Great Lakes
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference win over
rival Malone University last Saturday night at
Fawcett Stadium. The win was Walsh’s sixth
straight over their crosstown rival and keeps
the Bankert/Gallagher Trophy at Walsh.
MOTOR CITY: Walsh heads to Detroit,
Michigan for their first GLIAC meeting with
Wayne State University (3-4, 2-4) at Tom
Adams Field on Saturday at noon.
CAVS CONTROL: Walsh played perhaps its
finest game of the season in halting a fivegame skid and defeating rival Malone. The
Cavs controlled the line of scrimmage on both
sides of the ball and completely dominated the
Pioneers.
QUARTER NUMBER TWO: Despite holding
the football for over 10 minutes in the first
period, the Cavs could not dent the
scoreboard. The second period would see
Walsh control the football for 11:45, and score
21 points to boot. Jerald Robinson caught two
TD passes and Justin Keith scored from oneyard out as Walsh built a 21-0 halftime lead.
ROBINSON STRIKES: Robinson caught
touchdown passes of 27 and 33 yards. Kempe
connected with Jerald for the first strike, 1:20
into the quarter. After Keith scored with 1:50
left in the half, Walsh forced a quick three-and
-out and scored again when wide receiver
Blake Williams threw a perfect pass to
Robinson on an option play with six seconds
left to give Walsh the three-score halftime
lead.
QUICK STRIKE: CJ Chatman then stunned
Malone when he returned the second half kick
-off 100 plus yards for a TD. The score gave
Walsh 21 points in a span of 2:05 dating back
to the end of the first half.
GORDON GETS NUMBER ONE: Freshman
Kalvin Gordon then scored his first collegiate
touchdown to cap the scoring. Gordon set his
TD scamper up with a 44-yard run.
GROUND GAME SETS TONE: Walsh rushed
for 272 yards, averaging 4.9 yards per rush.
Aaron Male led the charge with 82 yards,
Gordon tallied 78, Keith 62 and Luke Lloyd
41.
DEFENSE FOILS RUN, AND PASS: Walsh’s
defense limited Malone to 80 yards on the
ground and 142 through the air. The Cavs
limited Malone to 11 first downs and 51 plays
from scrimmage. Walsh ran 78 plays, totaled
24 first downs and held the ball 37 minutes.
DEFENSIVE STANDOUTS: The Cavs
recorded four sacks and 11 tackles for a loss,
led by Cameron Trudell’s eight tackles and
three for a loss. Braily Blair had eight tackles
and Chad Phillis had seven tackles, two sacks
and 2.5 tackles for a loss.
KEMPE REBOUNDS: After struggling in his
first start against Findlay, Paul Kempe made
the most of his second start against Malone.
Kempe completed 14 of 22 passes for 130
yards and one TD and did a superb job of
managing the game.
GLIAC LEADERS: Jamaris Brown is first in
kick return average (28.3), ninth with two
interceptions and 10th in pass break-ups with
five. Cameron Trudell is 10th in tackles (55).
Tim Carter is third in punting (38.3).
Brody Tonn is ninth in passing yards per
game (208.6) and is tied for eighth in TD
passes with eight.

Walsh University Football Game Notes
Game 8 (A) Wayne State page 2
SERIES: This is the first meeting between the
two teams.
Michael Johnson led all receivers with 116
yards.
HOW THEY CONNECT: Walsh and Wayne
State have a connection through former
Walsh Football Coach Jim Dennison. Wayne
State Head Coach Paul Winters was a
running back for Dennison at the University of
Akron, and gained 1,298 yards in 1979.
Wayne State Athletic Director Rob Fournier
was the assistant to Dennison at Akron.
Nores Fradi had a game-high 3.5 tackles for a
loss as did Anthony DeDamos to pace the
Warrior defense. Brandon Lee totaled a gamebest nine tackles (6-3), which included two for
a loss.
And, Fournier and Jim Clark, Walsh’s SID and
play-by-play man, were broadcast partners for
Akron Football in 1978 and 1980.
Wayne State defensive back Ron Brant’s dad,
Ron, was a running back for Dennison at
Akron from 1981-84.
WAYNE STATE: Wayne State suffered its
third consecutive setback, 33-30, on a field
goal in the final 30 seconds at Northern
Michigan University last Saturday afternoon in
the Superior Dome.
The Warriors led 7-3 after one quarter, 20-10
at halftime, but trailed 24-23 after three
quarters.
WSU took a 30-27 lead with 6:18 to play when
Michael Johnson scored on a nine-yard pass
on a third-and-seven play. A previous catch
for 30 yards put Johnson over the 100-yard
receiving mark for the second time this
season.
NMU then knotted the game at 30 on a 26yard field goal, which was set-up by an 84yard kickoff return.
Wayne State drove into NMU territory, but a
fake punt on fourth down was incomplete
leading to a 12-play Wildcat drive concluding
with the game-winning 24-yard field goal.
WSU's second down pass attempt went off
the hands of a Warrior receiver into the hands
of an NMU linebacker to end any hopes of a
game-winning drive.
Desmond Martin finished with a game-high
135 yards and a touchdown.
Carl Roscoe was 14-of-30 for 241 yards and
two touchdowns along with two interceptions.
GLIAC LEADERS: Desmond Martin is second
in rushing average per game at 125.4, and
with nine touchdowns. He is fifth in scoring
with 55 points. Martin had rushed for 100
yards in a single game four times, with a
season-high 235 yards in WSU’s 41-31 win
over Carson-Newman. He also rushed for 200
yards in their GLIAC win over Malone.
Quarterback Carl Roscoe is 10th in passing
yards per game with 169.1.
Wide receiver Michael Johnson is eighth in
receiving yards per game (71.6) and 10th with
31 receptions. He has caught at least four
passes in six of seven games, and caught six
each vs. Malone and Grand Valley.
Place kicking specialist Paul Graham is a
conference best 9-9 in field goal attempts and
23-23 in extra points. He is eighth in scoring
with 50 points.

(8) and Jamiil Williams is fifth (6).
