2025-26 MOTY Finals Story

General

2025-26 Keiser Athletics Moment of the Year Tournament - Finals

This year's Moment of the Year Tournament has been whittled down to the final two (as voted on by you, the fans). With one week remaining, let's take a look at this year's championship. 
 
After three weeks, the field of 12 has been reduced to two.


Last week, we saw the No. 2-seeded No. 2-seeded women's tennis claiming the Red Banner, eliminate No. 3 seed men's swimming & diving's Noel De Geus becoming the first swimmer since 1973 to win four straight national championships in a single event. The second semifinal matchup was No. 8-seeded men's lacrosse (Ryan Rundle's record-setting performance), ending No. 12 women's basketball's run (Aly Avrach's school-record nine 3-pointers).

NAIA All-American Ryan Rundle became the program's all-time leader in points scored during the team's 25-6 win over No. 5 Reinhardt on Senior Day. The senior scored his seventh goal of the game to cap off a 10-point outing as the Seahawks routed the Eagles.
