LAKELAND, Fla. The Keiser University softball team split a road doubleheader against No. 4 Southeastern University on Saturday at SEU Softball Field in Lakeland, rallying to take Game Two of the series 6-1 before dropping Game Three 3-1, to finish the weekend series at 39-6 on the season. Jordan Brantley was the offensive star of the afternoon opener, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a sacrifice fly, and three RBI, while Maggie Miller delivered one of her finest complete-game performances of the year on the mound. In the series finale, Macy Schaaf accounted for Keiser's lone run with a two-out RBI single in the second inning, but the Seahawks could not generate further offense and fell 3-1 to drop the series two games to one.

The afternoon opener was a tale of two halves. Keiser was retired in order in the first inning before coming alive in the second when Sarah Phipps singled and Jordan Brantley followed with a two-run home run to left field to put the Seahawks ahead 2-0. The offense kept rolling in the fourth when Genesis Iglesias reached on a fielding error and pinch runner Keaganne Glidden advanced to third on Macy Schaaf's sacrifice bunt and a Southeastern throwing error. Phipps singled up the middle to score Glidden, and two batters later Brantley added a sacrifice fly to right to push the lead to 4-0. Keiser added two more insurance runs in the seventh, as Brantley led off with a double to left center, was sacrificed to third by Trinity Rohrer, and scored on an RBI single through the left side by Lanie Macicek. Faith Campos then doubled to right center to plate Macicek and make it 6-0. Southeastern's lone run came in the fifth on an unearned score set up in part by a Kaci Kidd throwing error. Miller was otherwise in full command, holding Southeastern to six hits over seven complete innings.

The series finale turned quickly against the Seahawks. After Keiser scored its only run in the second on a Macy Schaaf RBI single that plated Sarah Phipps, who had walked and stolen second, Southeastern answered with a two-run second inning of their own when a Chloe Baker single up the middle was followed by two Keiser errors that allowed a pair of runs to score, one on a Faith Campos throwing error and one on a wild pitch. Southeastern added a solo home run in the sixth to push the lead to 3-1 and Keiser's offense never answered, finishing with three hits as the Seahawks dropped the series finale and the three-game series two games to one.
