FHSU Athletics

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Fort Hays State had nine players named to the 2015 All-MIAA Women’s Soccer Team, announced on Wednesday (Nov. 4) by the conference office. The Tigers have three second team selections, one third team selection, and five honorable mention selections. Kelsey Steffens, Hannah Smith and CheyAnn Queener earned second team honors, Kristen Thompson was a third team selection, and Baylie Schmitz, Gabrielle Makatura, Jasmine Beaulieu, Cassi Moosburger and Kylee Loneker all earned honorable mention nods.

Steffens earned second team honors at forward. She currently ranks second on the team in goals with three, which includes one game winner, and points with nine. She ranks third on the team in assists with three. This is her second career All-MIAA honor after earning a third-team selection last year.

Smith earned second team honors in the midfield for the second straight year. She is a defending midfielder with one goal on the season in 1,018 minutes played. She has helped the Tiger defense to eight shutouts this season. Smith was an all-region third team selection as well last year.

Queener has done a tremendous job on defense in her first year with the Tigers, earning a second-team nod. The junior defender has logged a team-high 1,591 minutes and has one assist to her credit. She has helped FHSU post a 0.76 goals against average and eight shutouts for the regular season, while starting all 18 contests. Queener adds more honors to her resume after earning an all-region selection at Laramie County Community College last year.

Thompson earns third-team honors at goalkeeper for the second straight year. Although she has a record of 5-6, she has just a 1.1 goals against average this year in 984 minutes between the pipes. She now has 18 career wins and 14 career shutouts for the Tigers in just her second year of collegiate competition. She was an all-region selection last year as well.

Schmitz earns her first career all-conference honor at defender. She ranks second on the team in minutes played with 1,402, starting all 18 contests. She has helped FHSU post a 0.76 goals against average and eight shutouts for the regular season, while starting all 18 contests.

Makatura earned honorable mention status for the second straight year, but this year as a midfielder after grabbing the honors at defender last year. She has done a great job transitioning into the midfield, recording two goals and four assists for the season. The four assists is tied for the team lead. Her eight points for the season ranks third on the team. She ranks fourth on the team in minutes played with 1,133.

Beaulieu picks up her first all-conference honor, an honorable mention selection in the midfield. She ranks third on the team in minutes played this year with 1,287 and has one assist to her credit. She has been instrumental defensively in preserving eight shutouts for the Tigers this year.

Moosburger has burst onto the scene for FHSU this year at forward to earn an honorable mention selection. The true freshman leads the team in goals with four, points with 12, and is tied for the team lead in assists with four. She had two game-winning goals in the regular season. She has also been very efficient with her shots, placing 75 percent of them on goal.

Loneker earns an honorable mention selection for the second straight year. This year she gets the honor at forward after a selection at midfielder last year. She was leading the team in goals with three when she suffered a season-ending injury in the 10th match of the season. She still ranks fourth on the team in points with six.

Hays city commissioners will be looking ahead to 2016 during their work session Thursday, Nov. 5

Agenda items include the 2016 Employee Pay Plan and Job Classification–the 2016 budget contains the recommended $2,050 annual pay increase–along with health insurance for next year.

According to Human Resources Director Erin Giebler, after 24 plan designs were reviewed, city staff, with the approval of the Wage and Benefit Committee, recommends providing employees with a dual option plan through Aetna. The Base Plan will be provided to employees and their families at no cost. Employees enrolling in the Premium Plan would pay 8.3 percent of the total premium. The renewal with Aetna for the city’s current plan is a 3.85 percent increase or $1,862,920.08.

John Braun, Assistant Director of Public Works, will present the 2016 Street Maintenance Program. High-profile projects include the mill and overlay of Hall Street from 27th Street to 41st Street, 27th Street from Englewood to Hall Street, and 27th Street from Sherman to Canterbury, as well as brick repair for a two-block section of Ash Street between 17th Street and 19th Street.

Commissioners will also consider a request to vacate a portion of a drainage dedication in the Golden Belt Estates 3rd Addition, at 4500 Van Buren Drive, and will look at a request of proposal for auditing services.

The complete Nov. 5, 2015, work session agenda can be seen here.

Royals decline mutual options on Jeremy Guthrie, Alex Rios

Posted on November 4, 2015November 4, 2015

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Royals have declined mutual options on right fielder Alex Rios and starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie, beginning the reshaping of their team one day after celebrating their World Series triumph with a downtown parade.

Other decisions loom Wednesday: All-Star reliever Wade Davis, All-Star shortstop Alcides Escobar and outfielder Jonny Gomes have club options, while Alex Gordon has a player option worth $13.75 million after the All-Star outfielder achieved a series of escalators.

The 34-year-old Rios had a $12.5 million option with a $1.5 million buyout, while the 36-year-old Guthrie had a $10 million option with a $3.2 million buyout.

Both moves had been expected. Rios struggled much of the season, though he contributed a few key hits in the World Series. Guthrie was left off every postseason roster.

Recalls on VW cars, Honda motorcycles for brake problems

Posted on November 4, 2015November 4, 2015

DETROIT (AP) — Volkswagen is recalling nearly 92,000 cars in the U.S. to fix mechanical problems that can knock out the power-assisted brakes.

The recall includes the Beetle, Golf, Jetta and Passat models from 2015 and 2016. The cars have 1.8-liter and 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engines.

The German automaker says a part in the camshaft can shear off, causing loss of vacuum in the power brakes. That can lengthen stopping distance and possibly cause a crash. The engines also will go into a reduced power mode to avoid further damage.

VW discovered the problem after getting reports of camshaft failures. A fix is expected by the end of March.

Until then, VW tells owners to keep driving the cars. They should report trouble to dealers. It’s unclear if loaner cars are available.

Honda is recalling over 145,000 motorcycles in the U.S. to fix dragging rear brakes that can cause a fire or crash.

Documents posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration say it’s the third recall for some of the motorcycles.

The recall covers the GL1800 model from 2001 through 2010 and 2012 through 2015. Also affected are the GL1800A from 2001 through 2005 and the GL1800B from 2013 through 2015.

Honda says the brakes can drag after being released by the rider. In 2014 the company had reports of eight small fires.

Dealers will replace two brake master cylinders. No timetable has been set for the recall. It was unclear if Honda would offer loaner motorcycles.

Some of the bikes were recalled in 2011 and 2014 for the same problem.
