Stat of the Match
The teams were even on the offensive side but the Mustangs held a narrow 15-14 edge on shots and 8-7 advantage on shots on goal.
 
How it Happened
  • The Mustangs put Keiser into an early deficit as Kellian Borman headed home a corner by Kyndei Borman in the third minute.
  • In the 16th minute, freshman, Matilda Ovenberger evened the contest as she beat the keeper one-on-one off a through ball by Maxi Krug.
  • Millqvist then tallied back-to-back goals in the 26th and 43rd minutes to put Keiser in front 3-1 at the intermission. A pair of freshman were credited with assists in that span, Linnea Axengren, and Kyoka Koshijma.
  • The Master's got a goal back in the 65th minute as Lynnae George found the back of the net off an assist by Anna Brazil to trail 3-2.
  • However, Krug sealed the season-opener in the 75th minute as she sailed the ball over the keeper from the top of the 18-yard box, lifting Keiser to the 4-2 victory.

Coach's Corner
Coach Mat Dunn said, "It is great to start the season off with a win, especially after we fell behind early in the match. Maxi gave us a boost off the bench as she helped create the tying goal and later scored a goal of her own. We battled all game but have things that we need to work on. We will now get ready to play Northwest tomorrow afternoon at home."
