FHSU Athletics

Fort Hays State Women’s Soccer picked up a 3-0 victory over Lindenwood on Friday evening, posting its second consecutive shutout in MIAA competition.
 
The Tigers (5-3-1, 3-1-1 MIAA) fired 13 shots on the evening, six of which were on goal, while limiting the Lions just 7 shots (two on goal) over the 90 minutes of play.
 
Nearly 20 minutes into the first half, Mallroy Diedrich and the Tigers broke the scoreless tie with Diederich’s first goal of the year.  At 19:13, Diederich hit a free kick from 30 yards out after a Lindenwood foul, finding the net to put FHSU ahead, 1-0.
 
Leading by one at the half, the Tigers extended their lead to 2-0 in the 64th minute on Cenayda Guzman‘s score.  The junior forward gathered the ball in the box off-balance, and as she fell, kicked the ball over her head into the goal.
 
Guzman has now scored in three consecutive contests for FHSU. Guzman also led the team with five shots on the night.
 
Just inside the 10-minute mark, Ember Albertson entered the scoring column with FHSU’s third goal of the night.  Albertson took a pass from Hannah Jurgens (who assisted on the play), and beat the keeper in a one-on-one situation for her first score of the year.
 
In the net, Kristen Thompson earned her five clean sheet of the year, recording two saves while lowering her season goals against average to 0.77.
 
FHSU is back in action on Sunday (Oct. 5) at No. 14 Central Missouri.  Game time in Warrensburg, Mo., is set for 1 p.m.
