No. 23 Fort Hays State drew with No. 12 Northeastern State, 1-1, on Friday evening in the NCAA Championships, but advanced with a 3-2 penalty kick advantage in a shootout.<\/p>\n

The Tigers (11-5-4) advance to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Championships on Sunday, Nov. 23, where they will face off with No. 5 Quincy at 2 p.m. from DeLoache Field.<\/p>\n

Michael Cole<\/a><\/dfn> got the scoring started for FHSU in the 50th minute, breaking away from the Northeastern State defense before rifling a shot from the upper left corner of the box.\u00a0 Cole’s attempt cleared the keeper and found net, giving FHSU a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

In the 63rd, however, NSU answered.\u00a0 After a free kick was awarded the RiverHawks, a long cross into the box found Paul Samia, who fired at the net before his shot was deflected by FHSU goalkeeper Kent Freund<\/a><\/dfn>.\u00a0 The deflection fell into the control of Crosby Lee, who finished on a rebound to the low post.<\/p>\n

After 110 minutes of play left the game tied, the teams headed to a shootout where Anthony Hernandez<\/a><\/dfn>, Maurizio Costa<\/a>\u00a0<\/dfn>and Diego Cabral<\/a><\/dfn> hit penalty kicks for the Tigers.<\/p>\n

NSU’s first two attempts in the shootout went wide left, and though Tanner Brock<\/a><\/dfn>‘s first attempt was blocked by goalkeeper Jackson Biles, Hernandez’s attempt was good \u2013 giving FHSU a 1-0 advantage.\u00a0 The RiverHawks tied the shootout in the next round, 1-1, after Jordan Schmoker hit on his attempt (and Biles again came up with a save on Mauricio Castorino<\/a><\/dfn>‘s turn) before grabbing a 2-1 advantage on Juan Peralta’s goal.<\/p>\n

Costa answered Peralta with a make of his own, setting up the fifth round of PK’s, tied 2-2.\u00a0\u00a0 Kent Freund<\/a><\/dfn> made his mark in the shootout on Ricardo Palomino’s shot, diving to his left to stop Palomino’s shot and giving FHSU a chance to clinch \u2013 which Cabral did, putting it past the keeper for the 3-2 shootout victory.<\/p>\n

Freund had four saves on the day, playing all 120 minutes while helping the Tigers advance to the Elite Eight for the first time in school history.<\/p>\n

Cole and Castorino led the team with two shots for the day, as Cole had FHSU’s only shot on goal.<\/p>\n

Fort Hays State and Northeastern State remained even in the series history, moving the overall record to 3-3-5 in 11 matches between the teams in the last four years.<\/p>\n

Quincy reached the Elite Eight with a 3-0 victory over Saginaw Valley State in the first game of Friday’s action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
