With winds reaching 20+ miles per hour on Sunday afternoon, Fort Hays State women\u2019s soccer hosted the No. 3 Pittsburg State Gorillas in their second-to-last home matchday of the season. The Tigers came away with a 0-0 draw against the Gorillas, who occupy 3rd place in the MIAA standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe biggest thing for us in this group is trying to see them come together defensively,\u201d said first-year Head Coach Alex Hagan. \u201cTogether, we feel like we can build a good, strong defense, which I think we showed today, and then we can add the goals as we kind of go through it. But setting up that foundation defensively, I think, especially against the No. 3 team in the country, is a great place to do that. I think the team did a great job showing up today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
