Misc. Information

Head coach Jeff Young completed his fourth season at Walsh in 2007-08. Young was an assistant for 11 years to the former head coach Steve Loy. He has been associated with the program since 1986 when he came to Walsh as a player. Inheriting a team that had posted its first losing season in over decade, Young did the unthinkable, capturing the NAIA National Championship in his inaugural season as a head coach. He also led the Cavs to the American Mid East South Division title with a 15-3 record. In his short tenure Young has garnered a .857 winning percentage. As a player at Walsh, the shooting guard scored 1,814 career points and is currently third among the school's all-time scoring leaders. Young has been just as successful in coaching the men's golf team. In 2007-08, the Cavaliers went 26-5 but lost in the second round to Northwood.

Conference and Schedule

Walsh plays in the American Mideast Conference (www.amcsports.org), the largest and one of the most formidable conferences in the NAIA. The conference has recently expanded and is now comprised of schools outside of Ohio. There are now 16 teams in two divisions: North and South. Walsh plays in the South and plays each team twice in its own division only, home and away. Conference play can begin in December but non-league opponents are mixed in until January. League games, more often than not, are played on Tuesday and Saturdays and are piggybacked with the women's. The season concludes with the AMC tourney with the top AMC South team playing the top AMC North team to determine the overall AMC champion. Both of those teams get automatic berths in the NAIA II Tournament. The next four teams in each division square off with the tourney winner getting the third and final automatic berth in the NAIA II Tournament.

Conference Opponents

South: Cedarville, Malone, Rio Grande, Shawnee State, Ohio Dominican, Wilberforce, and Mt. Vernon Nazarene.
