Fort Hays State women’s soccer team picked up its first win of the 2013 season on Sunday afternoon at the FHSU Soccer Stadium by a count of 3-0 over the University of Sioux Falls. Fort Hays State built a 2-0 lead by halftime and tacked on one more goal for insurance in the second half to move to 1-1 overall on the season.

Sabrina Van Horn picked up the first goal of the season for FHSU by flicking the ball over the USF keeper’s head in the 21st minute of the game. Jamie Babyak got the ball to Van Horn over the top of the defense on a free kick from near midfield.

Jordan Hester, Fort Hays State’s top goal scorer in 2012, picked up her first of the season in the 40th minute when she beat a defender off a touch pass from Hannah Jurgens.

Abby Cinotto , like Van Horn, picked up her first collegiate goal in the second half on a nice crossing pass in the box from Amanda Talbott. Cinotto just had to tap the ball into the net once Talbott’s pass got by the USF goalkeeper.

Kelsey Grey picked up the win in goal for FHSU with one save. She moved to 1-0 on the season. Corrin Cook took the loss for USF, dropping to 0-2 on the season. Cook had six saves in goal as nine of the 12 shots by FHSU were put on goal. Fort Hays State outshot Sioux Falls 12-4 in the match.

The Tigers head on the road for five consecutive matches, starting Tuesday at Northwestern Oklahoma State in Alva, Okla.
