SHAWNEE, Okla. – The 25th-ranked Fort Hays State men’s soccer team improved to 9-3-1 on Thursday (Oct. 20) with a 3-1 win at Oklahoma Baptist. The Bison dropped to 9-6-1 overall.<\/p>\n
Oklahoma Baptist struck first and early when it managed to get on the board in the 6th minute. Jesus Andrade sent a ball into the box that Sam Smith was able to get his head on, and it beat FHSU keeper Alex Rodela for the first goal of the match.<\/p>\n
The Tigers got the equalizer in the 25th minute when Luis Mendez scored the first of his two goals on the night. Michael Cole slotted a ball between two defenders that Mendez took and beat the keeper to the left side. Mendez then made it a 2-1 game when he found the back of the net again exactly three minutes later, this time on the receiving end of a Mauricio Castorinio pass that split two defenders.<\/p>\n
Luis Torres extended the Tiger lead to 3-1 at the 61:31 mark with his seventh goal of the year. Once again Castorino set up the goal, this time on a ball crossed from the left side of the field that Torres took and beat the keeper to the far post.<\/p>\n
Alex Rodela picked up his second consecutive win for the Tigers and is now 4-0 on the season. He stopped two of the three shots on goal that he faced.<\/p>\n
The Tigers are back in action on Saturday (Oct. 22) in Bethany, Okla. against Southern Nazarene, looking for their third consecutive win. The match is set for 1 pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
