#6 Royals Big Second Half Fuels Victory Over Seahawks

Box Score LAKE WALES, Fla.- After falling one spot in the latest top 25 poll to #6 in the country, the Royals looked to make a statement against #18 ranked Keiser Seahawks. The Royals jumped out to a seven point lead midway through the first half and shot 48% from the floor in the first half, but the Seahawks would find themselves with a 32-29 lead over the Royals at the break. The second half would be all Warner from beyond the three point line as they shot 60% from behind the arc. With the Royals down 39-36, they would go on an 14-4 run to take a 50-43 over Keiser with 12:32 remaining in the second half. Keiser would come back and take the lead once again 69-63 over the Royals with only 2:23 left in the game. That is when a seemingly quiet Warren Hall would score 11 straight points for the Royals to give them a 74-73 lead with only 9 seconds left in the game. Warner would add two more free throws to come away with the 76-73 win over Keiser. With the win, the Royals improved to 16-2 (5-2) on the season. Warner was led by Nick Macon who had 19 points and 8 assists. Warren Hall would add 15 points along with 14 from Adam Giger and 13 form Josh Ellis. The Royals will be back in action at the TAC Saturday at 4 pm against Ave Maria.
