FHSU Sports Information Department

TAHLEQUAH, Okla. – Fort Hays State’s Maurizio Costa scored two goals on Sunday to up his season count to three in a 2-0 shutout over Truman. The 14th-ranked Tigers improved to 2-0 overall on the season with the win.

Costa put the Tigers on the board early by scoring on an Austin Clifton shot that rebounded off the Truman goalkeeper. Clifton picked up the assist for his deflected shot that Costa put away, giving the Tigers a 1-0 advantage in the eighth minute. In the 55th minute, Costa struck again, this time on a pass to the top of the box by Mauricio Castorino to give the Tigers a two-goal cushion.

The Tiger defense and goalkeeper Michael Yantz would make that score stand. FHSU faced nine shots from Truman and Yantz saved two, moving to 2-0 on the year. FHSU fired 14 shots in the game.

FHSU hits the road again next week for a pair of matches in Colorado. The Tigers face UC-Colorado Springs on Friday, Sept. 11, then CSU-Pueblo on Sunday, Sept. 13.
