TURNING POINT
From the opening whistle No. 4 Keiser took control, and two goals in the opening two minutes proved to be the start of a streak of six unanswered Seahawk scores.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• 57 seconds into the matchup with the visitors from Ave Maria, Se'Anna Beikirch started off the scoring for Keiser and the senior Mazreku notched another not soon after off a pass from Reddington to put the Seahawks in front 2-0.
• The game's first two goals proved to be the first two of six consecutive Seahawk goals, as the hosts built a 6-0 lead following a score with 17:41 on the clock in the first half.
• Ave Maria produced the game's next two goals to make it 6-2 Keiser, but a swift response of six consecutive goals once again from the hosts made it 12-2 with 6:11 remaining in the half. Six different players scored for the Seahawks during the run as the offense remained well-balanced.
• Ave Maria found the back of the net for one goal before the half, but Huber did as well, and the two sides went into the break with the score at 13-3 Seahawks.
• Keiser was able to continue the momentum at the start of the final 30 minutes of play, as Beikirch, Rillo, and Dakota Zdun each recorded their second goals of the game to push the advantage to 16-3 at the 21:27 mark.
• The Gyrenes were able to create two scoring opportunities that proved to be fruitful, but the Seahawks proceeded to net the final three tallies of the game with Huber's hat-trick being completed with just 15 seconds remaining.
• Keiser remained unbeaten in the Mid-South Conference so far in 2019 with the dominant 19-5 victory, and sent the seniors out in the right fashion in their final outing on Arrigo Veceliio Field.
