Fort Hays State Men’s Soccer jumped one spot to No. 24 in the latest NSCAA National Rankings, released Tuesday (Oct. 7) by the organization. The Tigers picked up two shutout wins last week, defeating West Texas A&M, 1-0, on the road, before closing out the weekend with a 4-0 victory against Harding at FHSU Soccer Stadium.
FHSU (6-3-1 overall) has outscored opponents 18-0 in the previous four games, climbing above the .500 mark in the MIAA (3-2 in the conference). Northeastern State (No. 15) is the MIAA’s other representative in the poll, staying in the same spot as last week’s ranking. FHSU dropped a 2-1 contest to NSU earlier this season, but will host the RiverHawks for a rematch on Oct. 26.
FHSU is home this weekend for two games over Homecoming. 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.
