KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Fort Hays State men’s soccer team stayed put in the latest release of the United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division II Poll. The Tigers remained No. 14 in the nation, released Tuesday (Oct. 2). The Tigers are in the middle of a four-match winning streak, longest since last season (10/22/17-11/4/17).

The Tigers defeated Oklahoma Baptist in Shawnee, Okla. (Sept. 27), 6-0, as Santiago Agudelo scored two goals in the victory to continue leading the team in every offensive stat category. The Tigers produced their second shutout of the season against the Bison. Four other Tigers scored goals (Raul Fierro, Rogelio Lopez, Abdoulaye Cisse and Alonso Rodriguez) while Fierro and Cisse recorded their first goals of the season.

FHSU then defeated Southern Nazarene in Bethany, Okla. (Sept. 29), 4-2. The Tigers scored at least four goals for the sixth time this season and for the fourth-consecutive match. Agudelo recorded his second hat-trick of the season in the victory. Agudelo continues to rise in the Tiger record books in his first season at FHSU as he now ranks third in total points for a season (28) by just playing his ninth match of the year against the Crimson Storm. Agudelo set the shots on goal (six) Tiger single-match record as well as tying the record for shots (nine) in a match.
