Emilia Nilsson scored a hat trick to lead Keiser to a 6-0 Sun Conference win over Warner on Wednesday.
Keiser needed just over 20 minutes to get on the board. Nilsson finished a Delia Letelier assist in the 21st minute, then struck again 131 seconds later with an unassisted goal to make it 2-0. The Seahawks took that lead into halftime after putting 15 shots on the Royals' goal area and allowing none.
Blanca Bachi extended the lead in the 47th minute, scoring off passes from Marta Filipe and Luisa Fontes. Haley Miller converted a penalty kick in the 60th minute to make it 4-0. Nilsson completed her hat trick in the 77th minute, assisted by Karine Ørud and Sofia Pietra. Nynka Rucker added a late goal in the 88th minute, assisted by Pietra and Ida Palm.
Keiser outshot Warner 31-2 and put 17 shots on target to the Royals' none. Warner goalkeeper Haley Van Houweling played all 90 minutes and made 10 saves. The Seahawks also held a 10-0 edge in corner kicks. Nilsson took four shots and put three on target, all three finding the net. Filipe led Keiser with five shots, and Fontes and Avril Amil Ruiz each hit the crossbar.
Mio Tanaka played 74 minutes in goal and Audrey Bechard the final 16 to combine on the shutout. Neither was forced to make a save. Shelby Cape took Warner's only individual shot, a miss in the 49th minute.
