The Tigers went 0-2 last weekend to start the season, losing at Rockhurst and dropping a home contest against Northwestern Oklahoma State. FHSU was home for another pair of games this weekend and the Tigers split &#8211; losing 1-0 to Augustana on Friday before shutting out Southwest Minnesota State 3-0 on Sunday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Friday\u2019s game, FHSU (1-3-0) squared up against Augustana (2-0-1). After a scoreless first half, the Vikings scored on a counterattack 18 minutes into the second half, and after holding off a late charge by the Tigers in the final minutes of the game, defeated FHSU

FHSU Head Coach Tyson John spoke about the team\u2019s mentality going into the game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe knew we needed to be motivated. Because just going three and zero and not playing like a three-zero team is really, really tough,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd so basically, it&#8217;s now or never. You know, we&#8217;ve got to get our season started. And so it starts today.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It did start quickly, as after only three and a half minutes, Sydney Cotter drew a foul inside the box and successfully converted the penalty kick to give FHSU a 1-0 lead. The Tigers stayed dominant throughout the first half, but were unable to score any more goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div

after the first half before conceding two late goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI even told them at halftime. I said, \u2018you know, one&#8217;s not enough, that&#8217;s where we were in that same situation with northwest Oklahoma, and look where that ended up,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cSo for us, it was like, Hey, move on. We&#8217;re not going to make the same mistake. We will finish this thing all the way through.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tigers kept pressuring the Mustangs, and in the 59th minute, Saylor Richard scored off a free-kick from 45 yards out, bouncing the ball across the box and over the defenders, the FHSU attackers, and the Mustangs&#8217; goalkeeper, as the ball finally settled in the right corner of the net.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five minutes later, the Tigers found the goal again, as Chaley French finished a play with a nice touch and set the final score of the game at 3-0 for the Tigers, securing their first win of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cotter said the team was not going to let another game slip from their fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think we just all came in the mindset that we&#8217;re done losing, and we don&#8217;t care what our record says. We&#8217;re going to come out and fight for every single game,\u201d she said. \u201cWe&#8217;re a young team, and we&#8217;re progressing every single day, and it&#8217;s definitely noticeable. And I think we&#8217;re just trusting each other, and we&#8217;re trusting the process moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FHSU plays one more non-conference game before moving on to MIAA play, as New Mexico Highlands will make the trip to Hays this week. The Tigers and Cowgirls will kick off at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday at FHSU Soccer Stadium.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Story by MAYAN PAZ Photos by BRYNN RAY and ELLIE HEDMAN Tiger Media Network The 2025 season started slowly for FHSU women\u2019s soccer.
