After a slow start at the Monmouth Hawk Flight Invitational, Fairleigh Dickinson reversed its fortunes and Walsh was a key component of the resurgence. Making nine appearances, five of which came during traditional team competition, Walsh accounted for a season-best 21.17 overall frame average. The rookie’s strike ball was the driving force behind her success. The Western New York product threw 62 strikes in 95 attempts for a team-high .653 conversion rate. Helping FDU to a 4-1 record in traditional matches, Walsh thrice eclipsed the 225-pin mark. She threw a 256 game to help the Knights take down Caldwell. Walsh turned in a 233-pin performance as part of Fairleigh Dickinson’s runaway win over New Jersey City. The rookie registered a 228 in a setback to No. 3 Vanderbilt. In four baker matches, Walsh accounted for a 745 pinfall over 37 frames.
