Kiersted, an undrafted free agent out of the University of North Dakota, had a brief stint with the Panthers in a bizarre 2020-21 season, and this year, was called upon due to injuries and sicknesses on the team.

Florida did not play inherently bad on Thursday night, and they got off to a great start against the surprise Kings by scoring first thanks to Minnesota native’s first-career tally.
