For the fourth straight game, the No. 6-ranked Keiser Seahawks posted 50-or-more points in a lopsided victory, defeating the Webber Int'l Warriors, 59-17, on Saturday night. The Seahawks won their sixth conference game of the season, clinching at least a share of this year's Sun Conference crown with one more game to go.

Dominating defense and punishing offense attributed to Saturday's one-sided affair as Keiser out-gained the Warriors, 390-179, including a 234-82 edge in yards on the ground. Keiser rushed for six touchdowns as quarterback Bryce Veasley and running back Andrew Burnette each scored two on the night. Veasley also threw for two, connecting with Louis Averhart III for both scores, marking the native of Raleigh, North Carolina's first multiple-touchdown game as a Seahawk.

The Keiser defense set a school record with 8.0 total sacks and 13.0 tackles for loss (second most in program history). The Seahawks defense caused 57 yard of lost offense for the Warriors with their record-setting night. 

Prior to the game, Keiser recognized 18 seniors for their contributions to the Seahawks program (Brett Anderson, Da'Shawn Bostic, Roderick Carter, Amarri Davis, Matthew Disisto, Avrian Gilbert, Jude Guerrier, Connor Hone, Scarlee Jean, Sala Lologo, Jaden Meizinger, Jake Montgomery, Wendol Philord, Brandon Thomas, Hunter Vanderpool, Bryce Veasley, Faiaai Vili III, and Justin Wake).
