Keiser women's soccer extended its unbeaten start to the season with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Carroll (MT). Haley Miller scored twice, once from open play and once from the penalty spot.
The Seahawks applied pressure early and broke through in the fifth minute. Miller finished off a feed from Blanca Bächi and Delia Letelier for her second goal of the season. Keiser kept pushing for the rest of the half. Luisa Fontes forced two saves from distance, and Bächi also tested Carroll goalkeeper Maria Ackerman. Carroll had a few counters through Makayla Schnabel and Rachel McAllister but never seriously threatened. Keiser took a deserved 1-0 lead into halftime.
The second half followed a similar pattern, with Keiser dominating possession. Bächi hit the post in the 49th minute, and Miller headed a free kick off the crossbar shortly after the hour mark. Ackerman made several sharp saves to keep Carroll close, including stops on Fontes and Ida Åkerlind. In the 68th minute, Keiser earned a penalty kick. Miller stepped up and converted for her second goal of the night, making it 2-0. Carroll tried to respond through Bailey Koster and Gabrielle Lougen, but Keiser goalkeeper Mio Tanaka preserved the clean sheet. The match ended with two late yellow cards for Carroll, one for Emily Winters in the 83rd minute and one for Brynn Johnson in the 84th, but the result was already decided.
