\t\u201cWe knew that they would be tough and we knew their tendencies, but I think we just didn\u2019t do great during the first quarter,\u201d Randall said. \u201cWe knew we had to step it up in the next three quarters though, so the first quarter was just a lesson to know that we need to keep our heads up and just work harder.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tFHSU kept fighting throughout the third quarter against Newman, bringing the score to 57-46. The Tigers only allowed 12 points in the fourth quarter and defeated the Jets 78-58.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tTaylor Rolfs came out on fire in the second half leaving the court with 17 points, six rebounds, four assists, and two steals. Cydney Bergmann also put up 11 points, one rebound, two assists, and three steals on Thursday night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\t\u201cIf we could win Saturday it would go a long way. We are playing a good team (Central Oklahoma) and I think we are tied with them in the conference standings right now,\u201d Coach Hobson said. \u201cIt\u2019s a big game for us and that is what we have to focus on right now in order to improve our rankings.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Fort Hays State Tigers will be playing again in Hays at Gross Memorial Coliseum on Saturday against UCO. The women tip-off at 2 p.m. and the men follow with a tip-off at 4 p.m.
