Lindsey Ahlen led the Seahawks with eight points. Molly Thurman, Bria Phipps and Laura Hoffmann scored two apiece, and Melissa Burch had one point.

Seabury, shut out in the second quarter, trailed 31-5 at halftime.

“The first quarter, we played well to stay with them,” Taylor said. “In the second quarter, they kind of put it to us and didn’t look back after that.
