FHSU Athletics

Fort Hays State’s Tanner Brock was named the MIAA Men’s Soccer Athlete of the Week, announced Tuesday (Oct. 7) by the conference office.

Brock, a senior from Winfield, Kan., scored twice for the Tigers last week, playing a key role in two shutouts (1-0 at West Texas A&M, 4-0 versus Harding). FHSU pushed its shutout streak to four matches (and have outscored opponents 18-0 during the stretch), with Brock playing 166 of 180 minutes available last weekend. The midfielder fired six total shots over the two-game span, putting three on goal.

Midway through the second period versus West Texas A&M, Brock broke a scoreless tie with his game-winner at 67:32. FHSU teammate Michael Cole fired a cross to Brock from the left wing, and Brock beat the keeper for an open net goal.

On Saturday against Harding, Brock took a pass from Austin Clifton in the 72nd minute, dribbled around two defenders and hit a shot form 10 yards out, past a diving goalkeeper.

FHSU is home this weekend for two games over the Homecoming weekend. The Tigers host Upper Iowa on Friday (Oct. 9) at 5 p.m., and play Southern Nazarene on Sunday (Oct. 11) at 2 p.m.
