Fort Hays State University (14-8, 3-7) is currently in a three-way tie for the No. 7 spot in the standings with Arkansas-Fort Smith and Pittsburg State. However, FHSU holds the tiebreaker. FHSU is also one game ahead of Northwest Missouri State and Missouri Southern State.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming off a 3-0 loss to No. 4 UNK last Saturday, the Tigers will be on the road this weekend to face Newman (2-19, 0-10) on Friday before playing Pitt State (9-11, 3-7) on Saturday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div

weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDespite the loss (against UNK), I do feel like we played really well this past weekend, and moving forward, we know what our strengths are now, some stuff we&#8217;ve struggled with earlier in the season, we&#8217;re not struggling with now, and I think that we&#8217;re keeping that mentality to the rest of the season because we&#8217;re not going backwards,\u201d she said. \u201cThat&#8217;s the most difficult part. I think right now, we are learning how to do stuff that we&#8217;ve been struggling with, and we&#8217;re just keeping pushing forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday, FHSU and Pitt State will compete in a direct battle for a spot in the conference tournament, as both teams are hoping to stay within the top eight in the conference. FHSU Head Coach Jessica Wood-Atkins said that despite the high stakes, she and the team do not feel any additional pressure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m very confident in this team. We talked about running the game plan pretty early on, and I think playing some really good teams lately was a really good preparation for us, and I feel very confident,\u201d she said. \u201cThey played very well this weekend. And I think their focus is on our game, not anybody else&#8217;s. And so, no, I don&#8217;t feel additional pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This weekend will present another challenge for the Tigers, as they will play back-to-back games in two different towns. Wood-Atkins said that even though it\u2019s not easy, it is better than some back-to-back trips the team had in the past, such as their trip to Central Oklahoma and Arkansas-Fort Smith at this time last year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPlus, the match on Saturday, because of football, got moved to 6 p.m, and so that gives us the ability to stay in our more typical routine. We will leave after the game (Friday), and then the next day, we&#8217;ll get up, we&#8217;ll have breakfast, we&#8217;ll have study tables, and then we&#8217;ll travel again,\u201d Wood-Atkins said. \u201cSo we&#8217;re used to this routine. If it were a 1 p.m. game, that&#8217;d be a different story. But both of the games are 6 p.m. games, and so I think we can use the same routine, and that&#8217;ll be just fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These will be the last road games for the Tigers this season before playing their final four regular-season games at home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Story by MAYAN PAZ Photos by RILEY FRANK Tiger Media Network With just six games left to play, the MIAA volleyball regular season is heading&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142,"featured_media":91581,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":false,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7349,382],"tags":[2496,15831,16375,7971],"class_list":["post-91599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","category-volleyball","tag-fhsu-volleyball","tag-mayan-paz","tag-riley-frank","tag-volleyball"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dive-by-13-2-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1437&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=91599"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":91601,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91599\/revisions\/91601"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/91581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=91599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=91599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=91599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
