FHSU Sports Information
Fort Hays State senior Trey Herman has been selected to compete at the NCAA Division II Central/Midwest Regional, May 4-6. The tournament will be held at Cog Hill Golf and Country Club in Lemont, Ill., just outside of Chicago, hosted by Lewis University.

Herman earned All-MIAA honors and a selection to the NCAA Central/Midwest Regional for the second straight year. He recorded five top-10 finishes this season with second as his highest finish at the UNK Fall Invitational back in the Fall portion of the season. He shot 4-under par overall at that tournament. For the season, Herman has a stroke average of 74.0 and a relation to par of +2.5. He has four rounds this season in which he shot under par.

Herman finished seventh overall at the Central/Midwest Regional last year at Fox Run Golf Club in Eureka, Mo. Herman was the third-best individual in the standings not on a team advancing to the NCAA Championships, but only the top two individuals advanced. So he was very close to qualifying for the NCAA Championship site last year.

Cog Hill Golf and Country Club has been the site of events on the PGA Tour for several years. The Country Club has four courses, with the Dubsdread Course being the site of the Western Open from 1991-2006, then the BMW Championship in 2007 and 2009-2011.

Herman was one of four individuals from the Central Region selected to compete in the Super Regional event. The teams and individuals qualifying for the tournament are listed below.

Central Region:
1. Central Missouri
2. Central Oklahoma
3. Arkansas Tech
4. Southwestern Oklahoma State

FHSU Sports Information
The conference doubleheader between Fort Hays State and Nebraska-Kearney, scheduled for Friday night has been moved to Saturday (Apr. 25) at 2 pm, due to forecasted weather in the Hays area.

The doubleheader will still feature both Pack the Stadium and Senior Day events at Tiger Stadium as the Tigers play the rival Lopers in games that will determine each team’s conference tournament fate.

The Pack the Stadium promotion will be a cookout with hamburgers for $3, hot dogs for $2, and bags of chips for $0.50 while supplies last! Admission to the games is FREE. The Tiger softball team will be recognizing three seniors playing their last time at Tiger Stadium between games.

An MIAA Tournament bid will be on the line in the doubleheader. Fort Hays State (12-12 MIAA) enters with a one-game lead in the conference standings on Nebraska-Kearney (11-13), so the Tigers need a split or sweep in hopes of locking down a tournament spot. A sweep of the Lopers would for sure lock up a spot in the tournament. FHSU is currently eighth in the standings and eight teams make the conference tournament. Northeastern State at 9-13 in conference play is still mathematically alive for the eighth spot with doubleheaders against Pittsburg State and Missouri Southern this weekend, but one loss would drop them out of the tournament picture.

Fort Hays State is coming off a split in a non-conference doubleheader at Northwestern Oklahoma State on Tuesday. The Tigers held on for a 6-5 win in the second game. FHSU is 24-23 overall on the season. UNK enters on a five-game win streak and has an overall record of 17-26.
