Findlay, OH – The University of Findlay men's soccer team defeated the Walsh University Cavaliers in a conference match on October 5 in a 7-2 final. The victory pushes Findlay's record to 8-2 overall and 7-2 in Great Midwest play while the Cavaliers fall to 5-5-1 overall and 4-4 in league play.

The Oilers took the lead in the 12^th minute first half when a shot from the corner was deflected by the Walsh goalkeeper, only to be knocked in by junior defender Connor Lynch. This was Lynch's first goal of the season.
