The No. 2 Keiser women's soccer team blanked Aquinas in the 2019 season opener on Sunday afternoon in West Palm Beach. The Seahawks didn't allow the three hour delay to get them as they scored two goals in a ten minute span after play resumed.
 
How it Happened
  • The contest endured a three hour weather delay in the 17th minute with the game scoreless.
  • Keiser needed just three minutes out of the delay to score their first goal of the season as Josefine Troneby beat the keeper off a pass from Madeleine Berghult and Kyoka Koshijma.
  • The Seahawks doubled their lead in the 24th minute when Larissa Weber bagged her first collegiate goal off assists from the twins, Maja Henriksson and Ronja Henriksson.
  • Keiser limited Aquinas to just one shot in the opening as half to lead 2-0 at the break.
  • Caroline Jensen tallied the lone goal of the second half in the 61st minute, scoring on a great cross by M. Henriksson to win 3-0.

Coach's Corner
Head Coach Mat Dunn said, "Great to get a win in the first game. Aquinas is a tough opponent and we knew coming in that it was going to be tough. They pressed and worked hard and we had to break that down. With six new players in the lineup, we're still building. I am always happy to not give up goals and we need to continue that. I am looking forward to playing a very good UNOH team on Saturday that has added a lot of quality. Now, we will rest and recover as we get ready for our next match."
