No. 1 women's soccer claimed their ninth Sun Conference Tournament Title on Saturday afternoon with a 1-0 win over the No. 9 Southeastern Fire at home in West Palm Beach, Florida. The game-winning goal came from a familiar SEU foe as Maja Henriksson registered the only goal of the game.
 

How it Happened
  • Keiser would have the opening chance of the game with back-to-back shots that forced saves from Fire keeper, Holly Eddins.
  • In the 13th minute, a Seahawks foul would give SEU's Naira Lopez a chance from just over 30 yards away but she would hit the post and the ball would go out of play.
  • KU would push forward but consecutive offsides calls would thwart the attacks.
  • Southeastern took the offensive from there, firing two shots that Grace McClellan handled.
  • Three corners in a row by the Fire led to the best opportunity in the first half for Southeastern as a headed shot bounced off the crossbar and over the goal.
  • Southeastern outshot Keiser in the first half 9-5 but the Seahawks held the advantage in shots on goal, 4-3.
  • The second half saw an awakened Seahawks side as following a save by Eddins, Kyoka Koshijima sent a chance just outside the post in the 49th minute.
  • SEU would charge back, firing two shots that would force saves from McClellan.
  • In the 66th minute, a pass in the box from Lauren Riley found Maja Henriksson in the box who was able to fire a shot past the keeper and put KU ahead 1-0.
  • The chances would continue for Keiser as Georgia Little and Ellen Maund worked a 1-2 passing play ending with Maund's shot sailing just over the goal.
  • Chelsie Hay would have the final shot of the contest but a strong save from Eddins would keep the forward from extending the lead.
  • The fans in attendance went on to countdown the final 10 seconds as Keiser claimed the Sun Conference Tournament Championship.
