FHSU Athletics

Fort Hays State’s Michael Cole was named the MIAA Men’s Soccer Athlete of the Week, announced by the conference office Tuesday (Sept. 30).

Cole, a junior from Round Rock, Texas, played a key role in the Tigers two wins last week, scoring three times and adding an assist (team-high seven points) during just 101 minutes of playing time. In FHSU’s 8-0 win over Lindenwood, Cole scored twice and had an assist to lead the team. It was Cole’s first multi-goal game of the season, and second multi-goal game of his career. The forward closed out the weekend with a goal in FHSU’s 5-0 win against Southwest Baptist, scoring the first goal of the afternoon (and what proved to be the game-winner).

This is the second MIAA Athlete of the Week award for the Tigers this season, as Austin Clifton won the award on Sept. 16.

The Tigers return to action this Thursday (Oct. 2) on the road versus West Texas A&M.  Game time in Canyon, Texas is 3 p.m.
