WACO, Texas – Fort Hays State moved down to No. 25 in the\nlatest edition of the AFCA Division II Top 25 Poll on Monday (Sept. 9). The\nTigers drop 14 spots in the poll after their season-opening loss at Central\nMissouri.
\n
\nThe MIAA now has four teams inside the Top 25 of the poll. Even though\nNorthwest Missouri State won its season opener against Missouri Western, NWMSU\nmoved down one spot to No. 7 in this week’s poll. With its win over Fort Hays\nState, Central Missouri jumped from the receiving votes section to No. 21 in\nthe poll. Pittsburg State also moved up out of the receiving votes section to\nNo. 23 after defeating Central Oklahoma in Week 1. Fort Hays State hangs on in\nthe poll at No. 25. Emporia State is the only MIAA team referenced in the\nreceiving votes section of this week’s poll.
\n
\nFort Hays State looks to get back on track this week when it hosts Missouri\nWestern on Thursday night (Sept. 12) in Hays at 7 pm. The Tigers are looking to\navenge a 23-13 loss to the Griffons last year in St. Joseph. Missouri Western\nfell to Northwest Missouri State in Week 1 by a score of 45-35, but the 35\npoints is the most scored in a game against Northwest Missouri since 2014 when\nPittsburg State scored 35 in a win over NWMSU.
