Keiser men's soccer managed to shake off an early three goal deficit today in a 3-3 draw at Florida Memorial. The Seahawks yielded three goals to the Lions in the opening 29 minutes, but a frenzied rally allowed Keiser to force a tie.

The Seahawks will now prepare for their final conference game of the season this Wednesday night at Warner.

How it Happened
  • The Seahawks found themselves in trouble early, as an unassisted FMU goal in the eleventh minute game the Lions an early lead
  • Following an unsuccessful corner kick, Keiser went down by two goals when the Lions scored in the 17th minute on a tricky shot that was nearly saved by Santiago Nebot
  • For 10 minutes afterward, KU fought to get on the scoreboard, but an offsides call in the 29th minute negated a potential Keiser goal
  • In the 30th minute, the Seahawks found themselves in their biggest deficit since September 2 when the Lions found the net yet again
  • Despite the score, the Seahawks kept their focus and worked to get back into the game
  • In the 37th minute, Keiser roared back into the game when Timo Boomkens recorded his second assist of the season, sending a pass to Alessio Silva, who buried it in the net
  • The goal was Silva's second of the year
  • Keiser kept the pressure on, firing off three shots in the final seven minutes including one by Manex Landa that hit the goalpost with 44 seconds to go in the half
  • The Seahawks were aggressive coming out of the gate in the second half, with two shots on goal in the opening two minutes of the half
  • In the 57th minute, Gabi Villafane electrified the Keiser sideline when a pass from Justin Bangura allowed Villfane to score his third goal of the year
  • With the momentum firmly on their side, the Seahawks remained aggressive and peppered the FMU goal with six shots in the following 14 minutes
  • FMU was only able to muster one shot in that time period
  • In the 78th minute, Santiago Duque scored his second goal in as many games with a spectacular play off a deflection to tie the match
  • The goal was Duque's third of the season, and his second against FMU
  • The Seahawks kept up their pressure, outshooting Florida Memorial 3-1 in the final 12 minutes of the match
  • Keiser nearly stole the victory in the 86th minute, but a shot from Manu Cordeviola hit the crossbar
  • Florida Memorial fired off a desperation shot with 42 seconds left in the game but the attempt sailed high, and the match ended in a draw
