FHSU Athletics

Fort Hays State Women’s Soccer played to a 0-0 draw with Emporia State on Sunday (Sept. 21) at FHSU Soccer Stadium. 
 
The Tigers (3-2-1, 1-0-1 MIAA) put together a strong defensive effort in the double overtime match, with goalkeeper Kristen Thompson tallying six saves and three Tigers’ defenders playing all 110 minutes (Gabrielle Makatura, Jamie Babyak and Mallory Diederich).
 
Both squads had several scoring opportunities, as FHSU had 16 shots and ESU posted 12, but neither team yielded.  The Tigers set the pace in extra time, firing five shots in the final 20 minutes of play, while ESU had just one shot in both extra periods (none on goal).
 
Nearing the end of the first overtime, Davey found herself in a scramble inside the box and fired a shot, but a diving save from Hornet goalkeeper Yadira Rivera kept the game-winner from crossing the goal line.
 
Offensively, Davey had four shots (three on goal) to lead the team, while Jasmine Beaulieu and Jordan Hester each had three shots (one on goal). 
 
The Tigers hit the road next week to start a four-game road trip, taking on Southwest Baptist on Thursday (Sept. 25) at 4 p.m., in Bolivar, Mo.
