Keiser improved to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in SUN Conference play with a commanding 46-13 victory over Life (Ga.) on Saturday morning at the Keiser Multi-Purpose Field.

The Seahawks showcased an explosive aerial attack and opportunistic defense, totaling 344 yards of offense while forcing three interceptions and scoring a defensive touchdown.

Quarterback Ava Wallace delivered another standout performance, completing 34-of-40 passes for 319 yards and five touchdowns without an interception. Keiser finished with 339 passing yards as a team and six touchdown receptions.

The Seahawks struck first with a methodical 14-play, 66-yard drive capped by a four-yard touchdown pass to Olivia Rijo late in the first quarter.

After Life briefly tied the game in the second quarter on a 41-yard scoring pass, Keiser responded with back-to-back touchdown drives before halftime. Wallace connected twice with Ashlea Klam in the red zone as the Seahawks carried a 21-6 lead into the break.

Klam finished with eight receptions for 53 yards and two touchdowns, while Dakota Moberg led the team with 94 receiving yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown. Rijo added two touchdown grabs.
 

Defense Swings Momentum

Keiser's defense made timely plays throughout the contest:

• Three interceptions, including a 21-yard pick-six by Tremesha Harris
• A forced fumble and recovery by Kylee Caetano
• One sack and consistent pressure on Life's quarterbacks

Harris' interception return for a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter pushed the lead to 40-13 and effectively sealed the win.

Earlier in the third quarter, Klam intercepted a pass at the goal line to halt a Life scoring opportunity.
 

Pulling Away in the Second Half
