In its first road MIAA matchup of the year, Fort Hays State Women’s Soccer dropped a 2-1 contest to Southwest Baptist on Thursday (Sept. 25) evening in Bolivar, Mo.
 
The Tigers (3-3-1, 1-1-1 MIAA) battled tough versus an SBU offense that fired 22 shots in the game, holding the Bearcats scoreless for 60 minutes, but ultimately fell in regulation.
 
SBU broke through the Tiger defense in the 60th minute, when Kate Jamison scored her third goal of the year.  An unassisted goal, Kate Jamison took a shot from the edge of the box to the lower left corner and found the net to give the Bearcats a 1-0 lead at 59:59.
 
Under 10 minutes to play in regulation, SBU put the game out of reach when Amy Boulton gathered a cross from Karla Jamison in the middle of the box, scoring in the bottom left corner of the net and making it 2-0.
 
Needing two quick scores to force extra time, the Tigers got one back in the 85:08, but couldn’t complete the comeback further.  Just into the 86th minute, Hailey Davey crossed a pass to Cenayda Guzman at the top of the box, and Guzman’s header went over SBU goalkeeper Cheyenne Forshey’s head. 
 
Fort Hays State closes out its weekend at Missouri Southern in Joplin, Mo., on Saturday (Sept. 27) at Noon.
