\n\nThe No. 4 Southeastern University women’s soccer team made a powerful statement in The Sun Conference Tournament Semifinals. The second-seeded Fire surged past the third-seeded Johnson & Wales University Wildcats 8-2 to advance to the TSC Final for a fourth-straight season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEU put seven of its eight tallies past JWU in the first half, four of which occurred during the first 10 minutes of action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior forward Uchenna Kanu<\/a> wasted little time putting the Fire ahead, netting her first of three goals 42 seconds into the match. Kanu finished a deflected shot by Melanie Peyton<\/a> to put the Fire ahead 1-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior midfielder Bania Duran<\/a> put the Fire ahead 2-0 in the 3rd<\/sup> minute, as she drilled a ball from freshman outside back Chloe Martin<\/a> past the Wildcats’ keeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kanu notched her second goal in the 9th<\/sup> minute, finishing par post after excellent build-up play by sisters Bania and Isamar Duran<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just 1:11 later, Kanu recorded the 26th<\/sup> hat trick of her collegiate career on a fantastic solo effort. The Abia, Nigeria native pushed her season goal total to 37 and career goal total to 152.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bania Duran<\/a> netted her 17th<\/sup> goal of the season in the 16th<\/sup> minute after a dazzling cross from Kanu delivered dead center in the box to put SEU ahead 5-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fire bench continued the offensive onslaught against the Wildcats. First, senior forward Rachel Wallace<\/a> rocketed a ball in off the pass from Siobhan Longmore<\/a> in the 26th<\/sup> minute. Redshirt-Sophomore Summer Rusher<\/a> capped off the first-half scoring for SEU with her first goal of the season, finishing a nice chip from Wallace far post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEU out-shot JWU 18-3 in the first half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wallace netted her fifth goal of the season and second of the contest in the 51st<\/sup> minute to put the Fire ahead 8-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reigning Sun Conference Player of the Year Savannah Jackson netted two goals for the Wildcats to keep Johnson & Wales from being shutout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, Jackson successfully converted a penalty kick goal in the 52nd<\/sup> minute and then finished a solo effort in the 72nd<\/sup> minute to push her season goal total to 46.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southeastern had an advantage in corner kicks over Johnson & Wales 8-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fire advance to The Sun Conference Tournament Final, where they will face top-seeded Keiser University for the fourth-straight season. Match time is set for 1:30 p.m.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
