The Seahawks hold a record of 3-4 all-time in their four appearances at the NAIA Invitational.
Keiser was knocked out of the tournament last year by the eventual champions, Reinhardt.
KU is looking to make it back to the championship game for the first time since its inaugural season in 2017.
10 goals may be a key mark as the Seahawks are 5-1 when tallying at least 10 goals in a postseason game.
Keiser enters the final site with an 8-5 record on the season.
In their most recent game, the Seahawks faced Reinhardt at the Appalachian Athletic Conference(AAC) Tournament being held at the home of the Eagles and fell 8-12.
KU claimed six all-conference and one special award from the AAC just after the tournament.
A first-team all-conference selection, Cole Stassi, leads Keiser with 50 points on the season and a season record 29 assists.
AAC Freshman of the Year, Vincent Cerasuolo is also breaking records as he now has the most shots and shots on goal by a Seahawk in a season.
In the faceoff circle, Cam Provines is crushing the records he set just last year with a program-best 176 faceoff wins and 109 groundballs.
Reese Niemeier has made a name for himself on defense with a team-high 17 caused turnovers to go with 17 groundballs.
In net, Cole George is on the cusp of three season records as he needs one more win, 23 more saves, and increase his save percentage by .018% to set the program record in each category.
Keiser opens the NAIA Invitational Tournament with a matchup against No. 2 Reinhardt (2-seed) on Wednesday, May 11 at 7:00 p.m.
The Seahawks and Eagles each have a win over each other at their respective home fields so this neutral-site matchup will serve as a tiebreaker in the season series.
If KU was to advance, they would see the winner of (3)St. Ambrose vs (6)Aquinas on Thursday, May 12 at 7:00 p.m.
The Championship Game is currently set for Saturday, May 14 at 1:00 p.m at the Ashton Brosnaham Athletic Park in Pensacola, Florida.
