The Daktronics All-Central Region Team for men’s soccer was released on Monday with Fort Hays State receiving the most all-region selections of any team in the region. Fort Hays State had seven selections (four first team and three second team) on a list dominated by teams from the MIAA. Earning first-team honors was Daniel Peralta, Eric Hymer, Tanner Brock and Diego Cabral while Tomas Mares, Kent Freund and Michael Cole all received second-team honors

Peralta finished the year leading the Tigers in points with 26, scoring 12 goals with two assists. He scored his final two goals of the season in the NCAA Tournament loss to Northeastern State, which allowed him to take over the team lead in goals. Peralta joins his brother Juan from Northeastern State on the first team, as both were also All-MIAA First Team selections as forwards. He also led FHSU in shot percentage (.250), had three-game winning goals, and converted all three of his penalty kick opportunities on the season.

Hymer started every match for the Tigers at defender in the regular season until suffering an injury that kept him from postseason play. He led the team in minutes prior to the postseason. He had one assist in the regular season and helped FHSU keep its opponent goals against average to 1.35 per match in the regular season. Hymer was also an All-MIAA First Team selection.

Brock earns a first-team all-region nod after being the only player named unanimously to the All-MIAA First Team. He finished the year with 10 points with two goals and six assists. He started all 19 matches for FHSU and led the team in minutes played.

Cabral earns all-region first team honors for the second consecutive year. Last year, he was an All-South Central Region First Team selection and All-America Third Team selection in the program’s first year. Cabral had another solid year in 2012 with 21 points, which included seven goals and seven assists. He now has 19 assists over two seasons with the Tigers. He was an All-MIAA Second Team selection this year.

Mares was the second-leading goal scorer for the Tigers this year with 11. He had 24 points for the season, adding two assists. He finished with a .180 shot percentage for the season and led the MIAA in game-winning goals with five.

Freund earns a second-team selection at goalkeeper after getting All-MIAA Honorable Mention honors. He finished the year with a record of 6-4-2 with 82 saves and a .796 save percentage. He made 12 starts for the Tigers between the pipes.

Cole is a second-team selection at forward. He was an All-MIAA Second Team selection as well, finishing the year with six goals and four assists for 16 points. He finished second on the team in shot percentage (.222).

Northwestern Oklahoma State hit four free throws in the final 0:23 and beat the Fort Hays State Tigers 70-68 Saturday afternoon at Gross Coliseum. The loss is the first of the season for the Tigers who drop to 2-1 and is the Rangers first win as they improve to 1-2.

The Rangers used an 11-0 run to build an eight-point lead with 11:12 to play and would lead lead by eight with under 10 minutes to play before a 12-3 Tiger run put them back on top. Ben Conguista capped the run hitting a 3-pointer then scoring on a layup.

A Dwayne Dwayne Brunson tip-in put FHSU up 68-66 with 0:48 but the Rangers score the final four points for their first win over the Tigers since the 1972-73 season.

Brunson led FHSU with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Ben Conguista added 15 and Lance Russell 13.

A four goal deficit was too much for the Fort Hays State men’s soccer team to overcome in a 6-3 loss to Northeastern State in the Third Round of the NCAA Tournament, hosted by NSU in Tahlequah, Okla. on Friday. The loss ends the Tigers’ season with an 11-6-2 record.

Daneil Peralta personally cut the lead in half with back-to-back Tiger goals, his team-leading 11th and 12th of the season. The two goals came within 1:14 of each other at the 61:36 and 62:50 marks. Michael Cole picked up the assist on the second as Peralta knocked in Cole’s rebounded shot.

NSU responded with a goal in the 73rd minute by Henry Wildenborg to open the margin back up to three at 5-2.

Cole and Peralta switched roles in the final Tiger goal as Cole scored the goal and Peralta got the assist for a 5-3 score in 80th minute.

The Riverhawks put in the final goal of the match in the 87th minute on a tally from Juan Peralta for the final 6-3 score.

The Tigers were outshot 27-13 by host NSU, including a 13-4 advantage in the first stanza. The Riverhawks held a 14-8 advantage in shots on goal.

Fort Hays State had four players named to the All-MIAA Volleyball Team for 2012, released on Friday, November 16. Leading the list is second-team selection Jenna Ulrich at middle hitter. Earning honorable mention honors this year are setter Kayla Zoglman, libero Makenzie Weinman and rightside hitter Taylor Mares.

Ulrich, a junior from Luray, Kan., continued her emergence as one of the top middle hitters in the conference. She finished the season leading the team in hitting percentage at .311, which ranked eighth in the MIAA. Her 1.28 blocks per set led the MIAA at the end of the regular season. Ulrich finished the year with 154 blocks, which tied Sarah Schinstock’s single season record for the rally-scoring era set in 2007. Ulrich’s 1.28 blocks per set ranks second in a single season during the rally scoring era, just one one-hundredth behind Schinstock, who played one less set in 2007 and had a rate of 1.29. Ulrich now has 295 blocks in her career, which is second on the career list at FHSU in the rally scoring era. She is just five blocks away from overtaking the record of 299 held by Amber Zoglman. The 295 blocks ranks fourth on the NCAA era career list at FHSU. If she keeps this pace during her senior year, she’ll have a shot at overtaking the record of 431 held by Jennifer Brandes. Ulrich finished the year with 313 kills, the second straight year she’s went over 300 in a season after 303 last year. She now has 639 kills in her career. Ulrich earns her second-straight All-MIAA honor after getting an honorable mention selection last year.

Zoglman, a senior from Goddard, Kan., finished her two-year career at FHSU with a total of 2,410 assists. Zoglman finished this year with 1,148 assists, averaging 9.9 per set. She ranked fourth in the MIAA in assists per set. She finished her career second on the NCAA era and rally scoring era lists in assists at FHSU, passing Whitney Hoffman (2,359) on both lists. She finished with an exact rate of 10 assists per set in her two years at FHSU, which ranks fourth on the assist per set list in the NCAA era and third in the rally-scoring era. She also had a solid all-around year in several other categories, with 49 kills, a team-leading 28 service aces, 322 digs (tied for second on the team), and 68 blocks (third on the team).

Weinman, a junior from Phillipsburg, Kan., earns her first all-conference nod at the libero position. Weinman finished the year with 576 digs, a rate of 4.5 per set. She ranked seventh in the MIAA in digs per set. The 576 digs ranks fifth-highest for a single season in the rally scoring era at FHSU and it ranks ninth in the NCAA Division II era. It’s is also ninth on the single-season digs per set list in the NCAA era. Weinman now has 988 digs in her career at FHSU.

Mares, a sophomore from Fort Collins, Colo., had a breakout season for the Tigers at rightside hitter. After seeing limited action as a freshman last year, she finished the year with 260 kills, averaging 2.32 per set, and had a hitting percentage of .232. She also had 63 blocks for the year, which ranked fourth on the team.
