Walsh knocked down five three-point baskets in the contest, tying her season high and was named to the All-Tournament Team at the Hawk Holiday Classic presented by Staybridge Suites and Hotels.

Against Penn on Saturday, she scored a season-high and game-high 18 points, knocking down four three pointers and added two assists, two rebounds, and one steal in La Salle's 67-51 victory.

For the week, she averaged 13.3 points, 3.3 assists, 2.3 rebounds, and shot 62.5 percent from the floor (15-24) and from behind the arc (10-16).
