Records: No. 2 Keiser (13-0-1, 7-0-1 SUN), Warner (3-11-1, 0-8-0 SUN) 
Location: Arrigo-Vecellio Field, West Palm Beach, Fla.


The celebrations started early and lasted until well after the final whistle for No. 2 women's soccer who trounced Warner on Saturday afternoon in West Palm Beach, Fla. By the 16th minute, Keiser had four goals scored by four different players and was off and running. Senior captain Ellen Maund scored just before the break to give the Seahawks a 5-0 advantage at the half. The pressure from KU did not stop there as Lauren Riley completed her hat trick with two goals in the second half before the other senior captain, Julia Forslund scored a goal late in the game. Karine Ørud would cap the win with a goal in the 90th minute as Keiser would finish the regular season with a strong effort. 

After the game, Keiser honored their 10 seniors (Alicia Rey, Olivia Pousette, Marian Garabana, Maude Rouanet, Gabby Schlabach, Emily Payne, Georgia Little, Ramona Kannady, Ellen Maund, and Julia Forslund). The postseason awaits the Seahawks who will have to wait for the final Sun Conference games to determine the standings and their opponent in the semifinal. Keiser has already secured a first-round bye and will play host to their opponent on Monday, November 11.
