KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Fort Hays State senior midfielder Derick Gonzalez has been named MIAA Men’s Soccer Athlete of the Week, announced Tuesday (Oct. 31) by the league office. It is the second time this season Gonzalez has achieved the honor.

Gonzalez had another strong weekend for the Tigers, helping Fort Hays State clinch at least a share of its first MIAA Championship. The Houston, Texas native recorded one goal and two assists in Thursday’s (Oct. 26) 5-2 win over Upper Iowa before recording the assist on a fantastic touch pass, setting up the lone goal in Sunday’s (Oct. 29) 1-0 win against Lindenwood. Gonzalez has now recorded a point in 14 consecutive matches, extending his school record. He attempted six shots on the weekend, two of which were on goal.

The Tigers will wrap up the regular season on Saturday (Nov. 4) when the host the University of Mary. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. Fort Hays State will celebrate Gonzalez and the other four seniors on this year’s team with a Senior Night ceremony.
