Chico State sophomore defender Justin Walmsley made a great first impression in his first two matches in a Wildcats uniform, scoring a goal and notching an assist while helping to anchor a defense that has yet to allow a goal as the Wildcats swept a tough two-match road trip in Washington.
Â
The sophomore transfer from Butte Community College assisted on J.P. Medina's late goal that salted away a 2-0 victory at Saint Martin's on Thursday. He played a ball over the top to Medina to the left of the penalty spot. The UC Riverside transfer settled it and slipped it past the keeper.
Â
Saturday, Walmsley headed home Luis Martinez's free kick for the lone goal in a 1-0 victory at Seattle Pacific.
Â
Walmsley played the full 90 minutes of each match as a starter on the right side of the defense. That defense allowed only 13 shots all weekend, only four of which were on goal.
