Fort Hays State University Men’s Soccer received its third consecutive berth into the NCAA Tournament as the No. 2 seed in the Central Regional for 2014. The Tigers will play Northeastern State, the top seed, on either Nov. 22 or 23 in Tahlequah, Okla.
Both FHSU and NSU are already in the round of 16 as the Central Region receives only two selections to the tournament. The teams will meet in what is virtually a regional final before meeting the team that comes to the Elite Eight from the Midwest Regional in the Super Region 3 Final.
The Tigers enter the NCAA Tournament at 11-5-3 overall and is 0-1-1 versus the RiverHawks this season. FHSU dropped a 2-1 contest on the road in Sept., before playing to a 1-1 draw at FHSU Soccer Stadium on Oct. 26. Fort Hays State will look to reverse its recent fortune, falling 1-0 in the season finale to West Texas A&M before dropping a MIAA Tournament Semifinal matchup to Lindenwood, 1-0.
