\n\nIt is not uncommon for a program record to be eclipsed, just not typically multiple times in the same week. SEU women’s basketball junior forward Taylah Simmons<\/a> totaled 45 points to set a new single-game program record for points scored for the second time in three days as the No. 2 Fire cruised to a 115-59 win over the Keiser University Seahawks on Saturday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simmons set her pace early on, scoring 16 points through the first 10 minutes of action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 16-6 SEU run to close out the first quarter capped of the big period for the Fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fire scored 20 points off of 17 Seahawks’ turnovers in the first half. Keiser committed a total of 29 giveaways on the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEU held a 51-26 advantage over KU at the intermission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fire opened the third quarter on an astounding 27-3 run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southeastern held a Keiser team that was shooting 37.8% from three-point range heading into the contest to just 24.1% from behind the arc (7-29).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simmons added nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and a steal to her 45-point day. Junior forward M’caela Sellers<\/a> scored 14 while hauling in six boards and registering two stuffed shots of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophomore guard Reagan Linster<\/a> totaled 13 points in the start and also dished out three helpers. Senior center Marlena Schmidt<\/a> notched her third double-double of the season, bucketing 12 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
