Fort Hays State men’s soccer defeated the Harding University Bisons 3-1 in the first GAC\/MIAA semifinal on Saturday, Nov. 15. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tigers victory improves their record to 13-5-1 overall in 2019, while\nthe Bisons fall to 9-7-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GAC Freshman of the Year Alec\nBevis<\/a> put the Tigers on the board early in the match. In the\neighth minute, junior Mauricio\nEtcheverry<\/a> sent a corner into the box. Flying over the heads\nof every defender, Bevis beat his man at the opposite edge of the six-yard box\nand tapped the ball into the back of the net-beating goalkeeper Carlos Calderon\nto the near post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fort Hays State was able to strike again just 10 minutes later. A cross from\nEtcheverry rattled between a trio of Harding defenders. After a pair of touches\nfrom the Bisons, the ball fell right to the feet of Arsenio\nChamorro<\/a>, who displayed a clinical finish past a diving\nCalderon to extend the Tiger lead to two goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With just under three minutes remaining in the first half, FHSU won a free\nkick spotted in their attacking third. Senior Moises\nPeralta<\/a> stepped up with confidence and drilled a ball towards\nthe goal, rattling off of the crossbar from nearly 40-yards out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Black and Gold grabbed their third goal of the match in the 69th minute.\nSeniors Joey\nMcCain<\/a> and Santiago\nAgudelo<\/a> played a pair of passes, the first off of McCain’s\nthrow-in and the second from Agudelo’s back-heel, down the line. McCain,\nsprinting from the sideline put a cross towards the center of the six-yard box.\nChamorro, who had scored previously, jumped in front of his defender. Sticking\nhis foot out, he redirected the ball to the far post, past the outstretched\nhands of Calderon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Fort Hays State persisted with aggression on the offensive end and\nretained possession for a majority of the match, Harding was able to lessen the\nmargin in the 72nd minute when Jeremy Nwonumah was sent through on goal and\nbeat goalkeeper Cullen\nFisch<\/a> for the Bisons only score of the contest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tigers registered 17 total shots on Friday afternoon, four of which hit\nthe target. Fisch remained active at the anchor of FHSU’s defense, notching\nfive saves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victory puts Fort Hays State through to their match on Sunday afternoon\nagainst Rogers State. The Hillcats fought to a 2-0 victory over the\nNortheastern State RiverHawks on Friday night (Nov. 15). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FHSU defeated Rogers State in both meetings throughout the 2019 campaign-the\nfirst meeting resulted in a 2-0 victory in Hays, Kan. while the latter match\nwas a 1-0 scoreline in Claremore, Okla. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tigers hold a 2-1 series lead all-time over the Hillcats. \n\nSunday’s championship contest between the two\nsides is slated for a 1 p.m. kickoff.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
