KU HIGHLIGHTS

• Keiser outshot the Warriors by a wide margin,  34-14, placing 25 on the frame of goal to test the Nyack goalkeeping.

• Se'Anna Beikirch, Madalyn Huber, Lena Finkelstein, and Haley Mazreku each scored twice, while Bridget Reddington had a productive outing as a distributor with three assists.
• Kyli Towner was all over the field defensively, compiling four ground balls and four caused turnovers to lead Keiser in both categories.
• The Keiser clear was effective throughout much of the day, as KU converted on 21-of-26 attempts.

TURNING POINT
The Seahawks started fast in this one and had established a 4-0 advantage after the opening ten minutes of play, and Nyack was never able to threaten a comeback from that point forward.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Raymond assisted on Keiser's first two goals of the contest from Melanie Brown and Madalyn Huber, then Lena Finkelstein was credited with the next two scores off passes from Reddington to give Keiser a 4-0 lead at the 23:04 mark of the opening half.
• The Warriors found a goal with just under 20 minutes left in the first half, but Keiser responded swiftly with three unanswered goals to make it 7-1, with two coming off the stick of Raymond.
• The Warriors drew to within 7-2 with 10:01 on the clock, but the Seahawks netted the final three scores of the half to lead comfortably 10-2 at the intermission.
• The scoring pace began to slow a bit at the start of the second half, and the two sides traded goals until it was 12-4 Keiser at the 18:56 mark after a Se'Anna Beikirch score.
• Beikirch's goal was the start of three unanswered Keiser goals, and the Seahawks built the lead to 14-4 after an unassisted goal from Huber with 16:40 to play.
• After the Warriors scored their fifth and final goal of the game with 12:15 remaining, the Seahawks finished strong with the final three tallies to account for the 17-5 victory in front of the home crowd.
