The Keiser men's soccer team scored five unanswered goals before Ave Maria got on the board late, cruising to a 5-1 win on Wednesday morning at Arrigo-Vecellio Field.

Molina-Casas completed the scoring run in the 74th minute, converting a pass from Sergio Padin-Rey and Victor Mairet to make it 5-0.
