After taking the lead early in the second half, a late goal for No. 5 SCAD would even the game and force a draw for the No. 18 Keiser women's soccer team. The Seahawks tried to take advantage of the hot conditions, outshooting the Bees 23-5 but Keiser was only able to find the back of the net on one of the opportunities as Emilia Nilsson continued her hot streak of games.

 

• SCAD had the first shot on target in the first half in the 13th minute as both teams worked on feeling each other out.
• Keiser's best chance of the half came in the 31st minute as an interception from Olivia Pousette left Oline Sundgot and Ramona Kannady in a 2-on-1 with the defender. Sundgot opted to play Kannady through but a huge save from Katelynn Balsiger stopped the chance.
• The ball immediately fell to Seira Uko but once again the shot would be saved by the SCAD keeper.
• Hana Masuko nearly scored on a free kick in the 37th minute as the bounce nearly went over the head of Balsiger but she was able to bring it down.
• The first half ended with the Seahawks holding a clear advantage in shots 12-1 with three shots on goal to the Bees' one.
• In the 53rd minute, Georgia Little played to her strength of creating space and crossing the ball, finding Emilia Nilsson on the back post who just needed to put a body on the cross to place it into the net and put KU up 1-0.
• The Seahawk offense would continue to press, firing off four more shots over the next 10 minutes as SCAD dealt with the pressure.
• With 20 minutes to play, the Bees would begin to turn on their attack forcing a save out of Zara Board.
• Out of nowhere, a pass from Ines Sommer found Mia Nelson who ripped a shot from the right side of the box over the Keiser keeper and into the left side netting to tie the game with less than eight minutes to play.
• Keiser would work forward for the final chances of the game however the final shot from Olivia Pousette would sail wide with seven seconds remaining and seal the draw.

• The Seahawks move to 6-4-3 on the year with the draw and 4-3-2 in Sun Conference play.
• The overall series between the two teams moves to 19-3-2 still in favor of KU.
• Keiser moves to 25-8-2 all-time at home in ranked play, 62-35-11 overall.
• Nilsson continues her hot streak of play with another goal to her name, moving to second on the team with five goals on the year.
• Another assist for Little moves her to eight on the year which continues to lead the Sun Conference and is now tied for 12th in the NAIA.
• Board recorded two saves in the contest as her record moved to 5-3-3 on the year.
• For the 12th time this season, Keiser outshot their opponents, dominating the battle, 23-5 today.
