Keiser answered by scoring 12 straight to take the double-figure advantage in the first half. Ohliger would find the net with six minutes remaining in the half to make it 12-3 heading into the break.

Shots proved to be the difference maker with Keiser racking up 33 compared to nine from the Wolves. Twenty-one of the Seahawks’ shots would come during the opening half.
