The Fort Hays State men’s soccer team routed Newman 5-1 in Hays on Saturday (Oct. 18). The Tigers put up three scores before halftime and followed with two more in the second while only allowing one goal at the end of the match. Sophomore midfielder Taisei Arima<\/a> netted two goals in the match, his second multi-goal performance this season. The Tigers sweep of the Jets this week improved their record to 8-4-1 overall and 5-2 in the GAC while Newman remains winless at 0-11-1 and 0-6-1 in conference action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nfirst of the three first-half goals came from senior defender Alec\nBevis<\/a> when he received a corner kick from Nicolas\nCortes<\/a> and headed it past the keeper from the left side of the\nbox for his first of the season. The Tigers wasted no time as Viktor\nRobertsson<\/a> found the net less than five minutes later having\nthe ball drop in his lap right outside the middle of the box. As time ticked\ndown in the first half, Arima found himself wide open in front of the box after\nreceiving a nice pass from Ivan\nVillalba<\/a> and put the ball through for his fourth goal of the\nseason. The Tigers went into the locker room boasting a 3-0 lead, with the\ndefense managing to hold Newman to zero shot attempts in the first half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less\nthan eight minutes into the second half, Arima netted his second goal which he\ndribbled himself from about midfield all the way to the left side of the box\nand struck the ball sending it past the keeper for his fifth goal of the\nseason. The Tigers were not done yet as Jonathan\nFacio<\/a> maneuvered between two Newman defenders inside the right\nside of the box after receiving an over-the-shoulder pass from Michael\nSamuel<\/a>, giving the Tigers a 5-0 lead with about 17 minutes\nleft in the match. The Tiger defense managed to hold Newman to three total\nshots in the match, including their goal in the 88th minute as the Jets were\nable to sneak a shot by Ben\nDixon<\/a> at the bottom right of the net. The Tigers finished with\n26 shots putting 14 on target. Kieran\nBrown<\/a> and Dixon did not make any saves while the Jets keeper\nmade nine including seven in the first half.\n\nThe Tigers will have a short week next week as\nthey play only one match against the Hillcats of Rogers State at home on\nThursday October 21. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
