HAYS, Kan. – It only took one goal on Sunday (Oct. 25) to determine a winner between Fort Hays State and Emporia State. FHSU came out on top for a second time this season over ESU pushing its record to 8-7-1 overall, 5-4 in the MIAA, while Emporia dropped to 9-6-1 overall and 4-4-1 in the MIAA.
Cassi Moosburger had the lone goal of the match, her fourth of the season, which provided the Tigers with the 1-0 win. Moosburger received the ball off the heads of Taryn Schnell and Silvana Romero and used her left foot to shelf it perfectly in the upper left hand corner of the net.
Despite outshooting the Tigers 10-6 in the game, the Hornets were unable to get anything past FHSU goalkeeper Abbie Flax. Flax recorded six saves in net and pushed her overall record to 3-1 this season.
The win was key for the Tigers as they moved into a fourth-place tie in the MIAA standings. The top four teams in the standings will host a first-round MIAA Tournament game.
Fort Hays State wraps up the regular season with two more games this upcoming week. The first is a home match against Nebraska-Kearney on Friday (Oct. 30), which will be Senior Night, and then they head to Topeka to take on Washburn Sunday (Nov. 1).
