After losing 3-1 in their season opener against Rockhurst, the Tigers hoped to utilize the home-field advantage and get a first win for the season.

FHSU utilized this offensive blitz to score a goal 17 minutes into the contest after a set drill in which the Tigers loaded the goal line with no less than seven players, creating confusion amongst the Rangers&#8217; defenders. This allowed Chaley French to score from close range. Sydney Cotter assisted French on the goal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This drill was attempted throughout the game, and FHSU Assistant Coach Livia Silva said this was something the team has worked on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat&#8217;s a new drill. Coach Tyson (John) brought it in. He&#8217;d done that in the past, and it&#8217;s been good for us so far,\u201d Silva said. \u201cWe scored every game out of that corner, so we know it&#8217;s working.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/FHSU-vs.-NWOSU-9.07.2025.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the 11 shots in the first half, including eight on goal, the Tiegrs were unable to find the net again and took a narrow 1-0 lead into halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 83rd minute, a fast break by the Rangers led to a header goal by Jazelle Alvarado to tie the game. Three minutes later, FHSU conceded a second goal from another Ranger fast break, this time finished by Christi-Anne Mills. After some late attempts by the Tigers, the Rangers closed out the game, 2-1.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Silva said that despite the final score, the team had some positives in their game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think we played badly. I think we were defending very well. It was just two counterattacks that they had, with a good finish from them,\u201d she said.&nbsp; \u201cWe had some good chances. We had to finish. We&#8217;ve got to be able to finish on those. So first half, we had more chances. So we got to be able to finish on those more than anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FHSU outshot the Rangers 19-6 and only allowed three Ranger shots on goal, with two resulting in scores. NWOSU goalkeeper Taylor Annen recorded 11 saves in the contest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tigers stay at home this week, hosting Augustana on Friday and Southwest Minnesota State on Sunday.
