NORTH CANTON, Ohio - The Slippery Rock University women's basketball team lost at Walsh University, 93-73, Wednesday afternoon.
 
Walsh (3-2) jumped out to a quick 11-2 lead in the game's opening three minutes and never looked back on the way to the home victory over The Rock (1-3).
 
The Cavaliers extended their lead to as many as 27 points (58-31) early in the third quarter before SRU went on an impressive 27-15 run over the next 11 minutes to trim Walsh's lead down to 15 points at 73-58 with 7:40 left in the fourth quarter.

However, Walsh's sizable lead was just too large as Slippery Rock was unable to get closer than 15 points throughout the remainder of the game en route to the 20-point defeat.

The six steals were tied for the eighth most in a single-game in program history.
