Just five minutes into the second half, Fort Hays State was awarded a free kick just outside of the box. Linares curled the ball around the wall of Hillcats and slotted the ball in the back post to put the Tigers up by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI knew that the keeper was waiting [for] a shot to the other side, [so] I just put a ball there,\u201d Linares said. \u201cThe feeling was unbelievable. You know, like when you score a goal in a massive game, that feeling is unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both sides had many opportunities on goal, with Rogers State accruing 14 shots to the Tigers\u2019 13. The match was physical from start to finish, with 8 yellow cards issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe first half, we gave up too many opportunities,\u201d Nichols said. \u201cBoth teams could have scored; it was equal opportunities in the first half. Both teams [are] normally a little bit cleaner just from not giving up opportunities, and I think we gave away a little bit in the first half, but the second half we rebounded and played a lot better and turned it up, so that was good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fort Hays State\u2019s win over the Hillcats increases its streak against Rogers State to 5-straight wins dating back to last season. The 2-0 victory moved the Tigers to 3-1-2 on the year while Rogers State fell to 4-2-1.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have a lot of quality players that adapt real quick to this system,\u201d Linares said. \u201cIn one month, we [have gone] from down to up, and the reason [for] that is everyone is working so hard\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FHSU plays Northeastern State at 1 p.m. today at FHSU Soccer Stadium.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Story by ELI BLANKINSHIP Photos by TANNER MAWHIRTER Tiger Media Network Fort Hays State Men\u2019s Soccer returned to its home turf for the first time&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142,"featured_media":99203,"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":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3392,7349],"tags":[15753,3446,725,16585],"class_list":["post-99195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mens-soccar","category-sports","tag-eli-blankinship","tag-fhsu-mens-soccer","tag-mens-soccer","tag-tanner-mawhirter"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/FHSU-MSOC-TM-20-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1716&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\/99195","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=99195"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99195\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":99222,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99195\/revisions\/99222"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/99203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=99195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=99195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=99195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
