SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The Fort Hays State University women’s soccer team secured its first win of the season on Sunday (Sept. 15) against Southwest Minnesota State, capping their weekend in South Dakota. Britney Arneson<\/a><\/dfn> tallied her first two-goal match as a Tiger, while Allison Worley<\/a><\/dfn> had the goal to break a tie in the second half. Gracen Chaney<\/a><\/dfn> recorded two assists in the match off of corner kicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fort Hays State struck first when Britney Arneson<\/a><\/dfn> found the back of the net, thanks to a well-placed corner from Gracen Chaney<\/a><\/dfn>. She charged into the middle of the box and put a strike on the quick moving ball from Chaney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southwest Minnesota State quickly equalized with a goal from Haley Mason and the teams played to a 1-1 tie by halftime.

In the second half, the Tigers capitalized on their offensive chances, firing nine shots and placing three on target. Allison Worley<\/a><\/dfn> tallied her first goal of the season in the 50th minute, assisted again by a Chaney corner kick. Worley got a head on another well-placed ball in the box, lifting the Tigers back into the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arneson solidified the Tigers victory with her second goal of the match in the 86th minute, assisted by both Worley and Kenzee Godwin<\/a><\/dfn>. The Tiger defense conceded just five shots for the match and Mackenzie Caldwell<\/a><\/dfn> made three saves in goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
