THE MATCH

Anchored by five saves from Kassidy Cannon, Malone's defense held strong in the first-half to carry the 1-0 advantage into halftime. 

Unfortunately Walsh responded with three unanswered goals in the second-half. 

Malone's six second-half shots on goal were all saved, and the Cavaliers held on for the 3-1 win.
