For the third time this season, the Keiser flag football team blanked the Thomas Night Hawks, defeating TU 20-0 in the NAIA Semifinals on Friday morning. The shutout was the eighth of the season for the Seahawks as Keiser advanced to the NAIA National Championship Game for the second time in program history.

Keiser's defense forced five turnovers (four interceptions and one fumble) as the Seahawks ended the Night Hawk's season. Of the Night Hawks four losses on the year, three came at the hands of Keiser (all shutouts).

Quarterback Jazmin Rhoden finished the game by completing 17-of-31 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns. She completed seven of her passes to Kennedy Foster, who recorded 100 yards receiving, including a 44-yard TD catch. Defensively, Sophia Carpio and Foster each notched a team-high eight flag pulls. Adrianna Cavalotti picked off two passes for the Seahawks and also scored on a seven-yard pass from Rhoden.
