Coming off an overtime win on Tuesday, No. 2 Keiser women's soccer showed their composure on Thursday with a dominant 4-0 result against the Tennessee Southern Firehawks. Ramona Kannady got the scoring started in the third minute of the game and the Seahawks piled it on from there. Iðunn Rán Gunnarsdóttir would get her first career goal in the quarterfinal before Maria Vilhena would score her third goal in this NAIA postseason to make it 3-0. Tuesday's hero, Delfina Lombardi, put the icing on the cake in the 79th minute to close out the scoring. The Firehawks came into the game averaging over seven goals per game, but the Seahawks were able to hold them without a shot on target for the entirety of the contest. 

The Seahawks will now advance to the NAIA Semifinals, where they will face No. 8 Columbia on Saturday, December 7, at 4:00 p.m. CST.

How it Happened
  • Keiser got off to a quick start with Georgia Little finding Ramona Kannady in the box who struck home the first goal in the third minute
  • In the eighth minute, the Seahawks drew a corner with Steingerður Snorradóttir finding Iðunn Rán Gunnarsdóttir who headed it into the net
  • The Keiser attack would continue as in the 22nd minute Lauren Riley crossed it into the box where Maria Vilhena struck the ball with force and scored the third for KU
  • On the other side of the pitch, Little came in clutch with a slide tackle in the box to dispossess the UTS attacker and keep the clean sheet in tact
  • Little would have another fantastic slide just before the halftime whistle blew as Keiser went to the break up 3-0
  • It was a quiet second half for both sides before Kannady nearly scored again with a chance in the 69th minute that was blocked
  • In the 73rd, Kannady had another chance where she had the keeper beat, but her shot would ping off the crossbar
  • Six minutes later, Kannady would find Delfina Lombardi in the box who guided a left-footed shot into the corner of the net to make it 4-0
  • The Seahawks would hold on to the clean sheet as time expired and their run continued
