BOLIVAR, Mo. – For the first time in ten games, the Fort Hays State women’s soccer team needed overtime to decide a winner as Southwest Baptist took the Tigers to extra time in Bolivar. With the match tied at 1-1, Vianei Sanchez<\/a> connected on a pass from Nikita Woods<\/a> in the fourth minute of overtime to help the Tigers earn the 2-1 win and avoid a shocking road loss. With the win, FHSU improves to 8-6-2 overall and 6-3 in MIAA play. Southwest Baptist drops to 1-13-2 while dipping to 1-7-1 in conference.<\/p>\n

The Tigers got on the board first to net the only goal of the first half as Cailey Perkins<\/a> captured her sixth goal of the season in the 24th<\/sup> minute. This would put Fort Hays State up 1-0, the score that would remain through halftime. The tying goal by Southwest Baptist came in the 48th<\/sup> minute as Raegan Edwards scored following a corner kick on a pass from Raquel Rodriguez. The 1-1 score would hold steady throughout the remainder of the second half, sending the Tigers and Bearcats to extra time.<\/p>\n

Fort Hays State didn’t waste any time as Sanchez scored off an assist by Nikita Woods<\/a> less than four minutes into the overtime period. The goal would be recorded as Sanchez’s fourth of the season, and helped the Tigers extend their win-streak to three matches.<\/p>\n

Southwest Baptist had their fair share of attempts, as they outshot the Tigers at 19-17 in the contest. Edwards led all players on the day with nine shots, including two on target. Perkins was next in attempts with five shots and two on target as well.<\/p>\n
