WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Keiser women's basketball improved to 6-2 on the season with a 70-55 victory over the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in the opening game of the Thanksgiving Classic on Tuesday afternoon at the Student Life Center.

The Seahawks built an early lead and never trailed, jumping out to a 17-8 advantage after the first quarter. Despite UHSP's Analyssa Maldonado knocking down three first-half three-pointers to keep the Eutectics within striking distance, Keiser extended their lead to 38-26 by halftime behind a dominant second quarter.

Senior Aly Avrach was sensational in the opening half, putting on a shooting clinic with 17 points on 6-of-7 shooting from the field, including 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. Her three-pointer just before the first quarter buzzer gave the Seahawks a 17-8 cushion, and she added back-to-back buckets early in the second quarter to help Keiser pull away.

The Seahawks maintained control throughout the second half, weathering a brief UHSP surge in the third quarter. The Eutectics cut the deficit to seven points on multiple occasions, with Montasia McAllister and Maldonado combining for key baskets, but Keiser always had an answer.

Senior Jasmyn Hale was instrumental down the stretch, finishing with 13 points and 6 rebounds while providing steady play on both ends. Her second-half production, including nine points after halftime, helped keep UHSP at bay. Senior Satori Griffin added 12 points, hitting a pair of crucial three-pointers in the fourth quarter to help seal the victory.

Sophomore Carolina de Domingo contributed eight points and was active defensively with a block, while senior Caidyn Cannon orchestrated the offense with five assists despite battling foul trouble. Junior Emelia O'Gilvie was a force on the boards with eight rebounds while adding six points and five assists in a well-rounded performance.

Keiser dominated the glass with a 44-36 rebounding advantage and showcased excellent ball movement with 20 assists on 24 made field goals. The Seahawks also capitalized at the charity stripe in the second half, converting 14-of-21 free throw attempts overall (66.7%). Their balanced scoring attack and defensive pressure, which forced 15 turnovers, proved too much for the visiting Eutectics.
