Fort Hays State Women’s Soccer pushed its win streak to four matches with a 2-1 comeback victory over Emporia State on Sunday afternoon in Emporia.<\/p>\n
FHSU (10-4-2, 8-2-2 MIAA) now stands alone in third place of the conference standings with two conference games remaining, locking up a Top 4 finish in the MIAA regular season. The Tigers clinched a berth to the MIAA Tournament earlier this week.<\/p>\n
ESU struck first, gaining an early advantage in the ninth minute of action. Off a pass from Kelsey Wakefield, the Lady Hornets’ Grace Linton picked up her team-leading sixth goal of the year at 8:40.<\/p>\n
Down 1-0 after the break, FHSU tied the match on a penalty kick from Kelsey Steffens. Steffens was awarded a penalty kick at 55:49, capitalizing on the scoring chance by driving it past ESU’s Yadira Rivera.<\/p>\n
Inside 20 minutes remaining in regulation, FHSU’s Hannah Smith recorded her first goal of the season off a corner kick from Steffens. Off an assist from Steffens, Smith’s head found the ball for the eventual game-winner.<\/p>\n
For the game, FHSU outshot ESU, 17-14, and had eight shots on goal. Individually, Hailey Davey’s five shots (four on goal) led the team, while Hannah Jurgens, Kylee Loneker and Hannah Smith each had two shots.<\/p>\n
Goalkeeper Kristen Thompson picked up four saves on the afternoon, grabbing win No. 10 on the year. Thompson has allowed just three goals over the previous nine games, including a stretch of five straight shutouts.<\/p>\n
FHSU closes out its road trip next Thursday in Kearney, Neb., in a rematch with Nebraska-Kearney. The Tigers defeated UNK, 1-0, in the MIAA opener earlier this season. Game time on Thursday is set for 6:30 p.m. Fort Hays State returns to the FHSU Soccer Stadium on Sunday for Senior Day (and the regular season finale), taking on Washburn at 3:30 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
