With the Broncos trailing 19-16 heading into the 184 pound match, Boise State needed at least a win by decision from Walsh to tie the dual. But the senior from Tacoma, Washington, stepped it up a notch posting 16-6 major decision over Brandon Ceremello for four team points and a one-point Bronco victory.
Starting with six team points from Casey Phelps when Cal State Bakersfield had to forfeit the match at 197 pounds, Boise State held the lead throughout most of the evening building its margin to as many as nine points at 12-3 after four matches.
After an 11-0 major decision win by Ben Cherrington at 157 pounds, Boise State led 16-10 before the host Roadrunners won two straight matches with a major decision and a technical fall (five team points) to take a 19-16 lead heading into the final match.
Walsh controlled the final match jumping out to a 10-3 lead at the end of the first period, before extending it to 16-5 at the end of two. Ceremello scored the only point of the third period after Walsh, in the down position for the entire period, was twice warned for stalling.
It's now on to southern California for the Broncos on Friday (Jan. 13) for another Pac-10 dual at Cal State Fullerton. Boise State completes its four-day swing through California on Saturday (Jan. 14) with duals against Purdue University and Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo.
