Location: River Bowl Stadium - West Point, Ga.

The No. 2 Keiser Seahawks continued their dominant start to the 2026 season, rolling to a commanding 19-5, road victory in Appalachian Athletic Conference action over Point University on Thursday afternoon. Keiser wasted no time asserting control, scoring six unanswered goals in the opening quarter to set the tone for a wire-to-wire triumph.

Ryan Stowell was the driving force in the first period, netting three of his game-high four goals in the opening 15 minutes to help the Seahawks build a 6-0 advantage. AJ Badik opened the scoring before JP Prather and Keagan Hufford added back-to-back goals, and Stowell took over from there to put the game firmly out of reach early.

The second quarter saw Point show some life, as the Skyhawks trimmed the deficit with three goals - including a man-up tally from Malyke Sillers. But Keiser answered each time, with Braeden Niemy, Donovan Barnshaw, and Marek Albiero all finding the back of the net to push the lead to 11-3 at the half.

Keiser continued to pour it on in the third quarter, with Kyle Davis and Matthew Essig extending the advantage to 13-3 before Point's Shaun McLaughlin added a pair of consolation tallies to make it 13-4 at the end of the period. The Seahawks put the game away in the fourth, erupting for six more goals behind contributions from Cameron Romano, Davis, Badik, Cayden Lachle, Niemy, and Stowell to secure the dominant victory.

The Seahawks' next game is on the road against Life University on Saturday, March 14.
