MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. –The Keiser women's volleyball team fell to No. 13 St. Thomas 3–0 (21–25, 16–25, 12–25) at Fernandez Family Center in Miami Gardens, Fla. The Seahawks (5–5, 0–1) stayed competitive throughout the first set, rallying from a mid-set deficit to close within 21–24, fueled by strong swings from Makenzi Bennett and Cece Worsham. Despite the effort, the Bobcats' steady attack was too much in the final two sets.

The Seahawks also found success from the service line, collecting five aces—two each from Bennett and Paryss Betts—to pressure St. Thomas' serve-receive.
