Fort Hays State University drew a 1-1 tie with Missouri Southern on Friday night, as the match was called in double overtime due to weather.

FHSU (3-5-1, 0-2-1 MIAA) led 1-0 at half, but MSSU (2-3-2, 1-0-2 MIAA) would tie it in the second frame and force overtime.

The game was put in weather delay at 100:51, and called after lighting continued to strike in the area.

Hannay Jurgens had the Tigers’ lone goal, while Jordan Hester, who took three shots, had an assist. Amanda Talbott and Hailey Davey added two shots, while six others, including Jurgens, had one shot.

Nicole Barnaba played the entire game at goalkeeper for FHSU and had one save.

The Tigers had six shots (two on goal) in the first half, and broke the stalemate in the 45th minute.  Hester crossed a ball into the box from the right side, and Jurgens’ header found the net.  It was Jurgens’ first goal of the season, and Hester’s first assist.

In the 55th minute, FHSU’s Davey found the net, but was called offsides on the play, negating the score.

MSSU tied the game at 76:13, when a cross from Karley Thomas found Katelyn Roberson, who scored.

With the game appeared heading for overtime, FHSU would escape a near-goal for MSSU when Dani Harris stepped in front of an open net shot by Roberson, stopping the game-ending threat.

During the first extra period, FHSU had another near-miss on a game winner. Margaret Meier retrieved a ball from the top of the box after MSSU’s Beth Hammons dived after a pass, and fired on an open net, hitting the cross bar.

The Tigers travel to Wichita, Kan., on Sunday for a Newman on Sunday for a 2 p.m. matchup.
