How it Happened
  • Keiser began the game with a composed look, holding the ball on the offensive side of the field before Maria Vilhena's first chance barely missed wide in the ninth minute
  • On the ensuing goal kick, Blanca Bächi poked the ball away from a defender who made a misplay on the pass allowing Bächi to slot home her third goal of the season
  • The Seahawks continued to fire shots towards net, totaling five in the first 15 minutes
  • In the 18th minute, Bächi worked the ball down the wing before sending a cross to Lauren Riley, who played it to Vilhena, who played it to Emilia Nilsson, who blasted a shot by the keeper
  • With 15 minutes to play in the half, Georgia Little sent a ball into the box, where Vilhena stopped it dead on her foot before turning and firing in her first goal of the season
  • The final chance of the half came with less than a minute left as Karine Ørud set up a free kick just outside of the box. Ørud sent a laser to the back post, but it bounced off the crossbar and away before the halftime whistle
  • Irene Lores nearly scored early in the second half after a corner kick found her on the back post, but the shot would be saved
  • In the 54th minute, Bächi sent a long pass out wide to Riley who did the rest, beating her defender before sending a shot by the keeper to make it 4-0
  • Zoe Edwards just missed scoring in the 73rd minute as her shot deflected off the crossbar
  • She would get another chance in the 77th minute when Nynka Rucker was fouled in the box resulting in a penalty kick. Rucker stepped forward and sank the shot to make it 5-0
  • Minutes later, Sofia Pietra nearly made it on "SportsCenter Top Plays" with a perfect flick over her defender, but her shot bounced down off the crossbar and grazed the line before bouncing away
  • In the 88th minute, Rucker got on the board as the ball found her at the back post and she fired in the first goal of her career
