HAYS, Kan. – Fort Hays State Men’s Soccer already claimed at least a share of the MIAA Championship last Sunday (Oct. 29) with a 1-0 win over Lindenwood in Hays. That gave the Tigers a 7-1 mark in conference play for the season. Fort Hays State had to wait until Sunday (Nov. 5) to find out if it would share the title with Northeastern State or take it outright pending on the outcome of Northeastern State’s game at Lindenwood.

The Tigers will not have to share the title as Northeastern State fell to Lindenwood on Sunday evening, 1-0, in overtime. The RiverHawks finished MIAA play at 6-2 with the result.

The Tigers will find out their fate for the NCAA Tournament on Monday evening (Nov. 6) during the NCAA Men’s Soccer Selection Show at 5:30 pm on NCAA.com. The Tigers are seeking their sixth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament and are in strong position after holding steady in the region rankings at No. 2 for three straight weeks. Northeastern State was No. 1 in all three releases of the rankings. The top two teams from the Central Region are selected to play in the NCAA Tournament. Fort Hays State has won the Central Regional of the NCAA Tournament three consecutive years.
