Fort Hays State Women’s Soccer saw its MIAA Tournament run come to an end on Friday (Nov. 8) at the hands of Southwest Baptist.  Seeded third in the tournament, the Tigers fell, 1-0, to the second-seeded Bearcats in the MIAA Semifinals.

The Tigers’ seven-match winning streak came to an end as well in the game, as FHSU (13-5-2) launched just four shots all night against a stout SBU defense.  The Tigers’ one shot on goal came from Kylee Loneker, who took aim midway through the first period from 25 yards out.

SBU grabbed the lead early, as Taylor Schmidt scored an unassisted goal just 7:04 into the match.  Schmidt’s goal originally looked to be a cross pass from the right corner of the box, but it snuck past Tigers’ goalkeeper Kristin Thompson into the upper left corner of the net.

That proved to be all the Bearcats needed as neither team scored the rest of the way, sealing the shutout.  It was just the third time FHSU has been held scoreless all season.

Loneker had two shots for FHSU, with Kelsey Steffens and Mallory Diederich splitting the other two team shots.

Thompson picked up a season-high 12 saves for the year, keeping the Tigers within striking distance while facing 33 total shots (13 on goal).

FHSU will now await the NCAA Division II Women’s Soccer Selection Show on Monday, Nov. 10 at 4:30 p.m. to determine its NCAA Tournament status.  The Tigers were seventh in all three NCAA Central Region Rankings leading up to the final rankings (released Monday) this season.  Six teams advance to the NCAA Tournament.

Fort Hays State had two set-point opportunities in the fourth set to possibly force a final set, but Missouri Western held off FHSU both times and eventually won the set 29-27 and the match 3-1 on Friday (Nov. 7) in St. Joseph, Mo. The Tigers held an early 1-0 lead in the match before the Griffons took the next three sets. The Tigers moved to 13-15 overall, 7-12 in the MIAA with the loss.

Fort Hays State jumped out to an early 8-4 advantage in the first set, but the Griffons inched their way back, tying it up at 11-11. The rest of the set was a back-and-forth battle as neither team could gain more than two points of separation all the way to a 23-23 tie. The Tigers pulled out the final two points of the set on a kill by Callie Christensen and then an attack error by the Griffons, posting a 25-23 opening set win.

The Griffons bounced back to build an 8-4 lead in the second set, but the Tigers went on a six-point run to take a 10-8 lead. That was short lived as the Griffons scored three straight to take the lead back, and then the teams battled back and forth to a score of 16-16. A rash of three attack errors and a pair of kills by the Griffons pushed them to a five-point lead. FHSU had a late three-point run to cut the lead back to two at 23-21, but the Griffons closed the set with a pair of kills to tie the match.

The third set saw the Tigers take an early 7-4 advantage, but the Griffons eventually pulled even at 12-12. The teams engaged in another mid-set see-saw battle, eventually pushing the score to 20-20. The Griffons would take four of the next five points, three on kills by Erica Rottinghaus, and closed out the set by a score of 25-22.

The fourth set was tight throughout, as FHSU would find itself on the brink of forcing a fifth and deciding set. The teams traded points to a 7-7 tie, but the Tigers jumped into the lead with a four-point run to make it 11-7. The Tigers looked in good shape with a 17-12 lead, but they surrendered six straight points on four kills and two service aces to allow the Griffons to take an 18-17 lead. The teams battled back and forth once again to a tie at 23-23. The Griffons had match point at 24-23, but a kill by Rebekah Spainhour  forced the win-by-two situation. A block by Christensen and Sara Hewson had the Tigers at set point leading 25-24, but the Griffons came up with a block to tie the set again. FHSU forged back ahead 26-25 on kill by Taylor Mares, but the Griffons answered with a kill once more. A kill by Christensen killed the second match-point opportunity for MWSU to make it 27-27, but Jessie Thorup would put the match away for MWSU with consecutive kills, ending the set at 29-27.

Redshirt-freshman Kaitlin Bradley led a balanced attack by the Tigers with 13 kills, followed by Hewson and Spainhour each with 12. Hewson added 11 digs for a double-double. Reagan Vanderplas had 25 assists, while Kristin Conor added 20. Keanu Bradley led FHSU in digs with 16.

Rottinghaus led Missouri Western with 19 kills, followed by Thorup with 15. Rottinghaus also tied for a team-high 15 digs, recording a double-double. Jordan Chohon had 59 assists and 12 digs for a double-double.

The Tigers complete the weekend road trip by visiting Northwest Missouri State on Saturday at 2 pm.

Second-seeded Fort Hays State saw its MIAA Tournament Championship hopes come to an end in the semifinals on Thursday (Nov. 6), dropping a 2-0 contest to third-seeded Lindenwood in Olathe, Kan.

The Tigers were active offensively, firing 12 shots throughout the contest, including seven in the first half, but couldn’t find the net and were shutout for just the fourth time this season. Defensively, FHSU limited LWU to one shot in the first half, and three shots on goal in the second.

Early on, the Tigers’ offense looked primed for a big game, firing five shots in the opening five minutes, including a header from David Lucio that nearly scored, only to be tipped past the crossbar by an extended LWU goalkeeper, Andrew Hamerlinck.  Soon after,Mauricio Castorino fired two shots from inside the box, but again Hamerlinck was there for both saves.

In the 23rd minute, LWU’s Alfredo Paez broke the scoreless tie with a header from inside the box, which skirted past Kent Freund for a goal.  Steven Hutchinson assisted on the score.

Michael Cole nearly tied it for FHSU at 58:35 after beating Hamerlinck to a ball near the top of the box, and while battling with a Lion defender, fired a shot that sailed just above the crossbar, keeping the deficit at one.

Soon after, though, LWU answered again.  On a breakaway, Freund played Paez’s shot well, but the deflected towards the top of the box was rebounded by Stefan Andric, who found an open net for the score.

Down 2-0, the Tigers couldn’t recover in the final 30 minutes of regulation, ending the postseason run early.

Castorino led the Tigers with three shots on the night. Lucio and Cole each had two shots.

In goal, Freund played all 90 minutes with two saves, both of which came in the second period.

FHSU will now await the NCAA Division II Men’s Soccer Selection Show on Monday, Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m. to determine its NCAA Tournament status.

FHSU Sports Information

Fort Hays State men’s soccer remains No. 2 in the last set of Central Region Rankings released by the NCAA on November 5. Following the MIAA Tournament this weekend in Olathe, Kan., two teams from the Central Region will be selected to compete in the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers are looking for their third-consecutive trip to the tournament.

Depite going 0-1-1 in the final week of the regular season, the Tigers still have a firm grip on the No. 2 ranking in the region, behind Northeastern State. The RiverHawks sit atop the rankings with a record of 14-3-1, while the Tigers enter postseason play at 11-4-3. There is a two-game gap in the loss column between Fort Hays State and the No. 3 ranked team, Lindenwood, which sits at 9-6-3 overall. Fort Hays State and Lindenwood match-up in the semifinals of the MIAA Tournament on Thursday (Nov. 6) at 4 pm. Fort Hays State went 2-0 against Lindenwood in the regular season with an 8-0 win at home and a 2-1 win in overtime on the road.

No automatic bid is given to the MIAA Tournament champion, so the Tigers look to solidify their spot in the national tournament this weekend in Olathe, Kan. The regional ranking formula is not released to the public, so how wide the gap between Fort Hays State and Lindenwood is unknown. Therefore the Tigers still need a win in the semifinal of the conference tournament to put any doubt out of mind.

The Central Region will serve as host for the Super Regional this year, which consists of the round of 16 and the national quarterfinals. Right now, Northeastern State is in the driver’s seat to host the Super Region for the second time in three years, which will begin two weeks from now. The two teams selected from the Central Region to compete in the NCAA Tournament go directly to the Round of 16 to play each other in essentially what is called the regional final, bypassing the first two rounds of the tournament which occur next week.

Below are the regional rankings for November 5.

CENTRAL Team Overall In-Region
1 Northeastern State 14-3-1 14-3-1
2 Fort Hays State 11-4-3 11-4-3
3 Lindenwood (Mo.) 9-6-3 9-6-3
4 Upper Iowa 8-5-2 8-5-1

Fort Hays State had nine selections to the 2014 All-MIAA Men’s Soccer team, highlighted by MIAA Player of the Year Tanner Brock and MIAA Freshman of the Year Mauricio Castorino. Announced Thursday by the conference office, Brock is joined on the First Team by Kent Freund, Eric Hymer, Diego Cabral and Michael Cole, while Castorino was picked to the Second Team alongside Carlos Linares and Davud Lucio. Drew Wilson was named honorable mention.

The nine All-MIAA honorees marks an all-time high for the FHSU Soccer program, summing up a regular season that saw the Tigers go 11-4-3 overall and 8-2-2 in the MIAA, securing the second seed in the MIAA Tournament (which begins Thursday in Olathe, Kan.). All told, six of the nine Tigers honored are repeat winners, with four earning their third All-MIAA nod.

Brock led the Tigers in goals (six) this season, matching the performance with six assists as well. Tied for the team lead in points (18), the senior midfielder started 16 games (appearing in 17) for FHSU. From Winfield, Kan., Brock has added game-winning goals at West Texas A&M, Harding, and at home against Upper Iowa. He sits second in the MIAA in total points this season, as well as third in assists (right behind Cabral).

Career-wise, Brock has played more minutes than any other Tiger in program history (6,295), ranking second in career games (74) while tied for the all-time lead in career starts (72). Brock is a three-time First Team selection, earning the honors in 2012 and 2013 as well. He is the first Fort Hays State Men’s Soccer student-athlete to earn MIAA Player of the Year, the program now in its fourth year of existence and third year in the MIAA.

Freund has appeared in 16 games for FHSU this season, starting 15 while logging 1,453 minutes in the net. A senior goalkeeper, Freund has picked up 64 saves on the year while allowing just 15 goals. From Garland, Texas, Freund’s 0.93 goals against average ranks second in the conference. This is the second All-MIAA award of his career after being honorable mention in 2012.

Hymer, a defenseman, leads the team with 1,649 minutes played for the year, anchoring a back line for the Tigers that has allowed 17 goals on the season. A senior from Overland Park, Kan., he has started all 18 games for FHSU this season, posting complete game performances in 15 contests this year. Hymer repeats for the third consecutive year as an All-MIAA First Team selection, earning the award in 2012 and 2013 as well.

Cabral led the Tigers with 10 assists on the season, adding four goals for 18 points (tied for first on the team). A senior midfielder, Cabral holds the school record for career points (84) and assists (36), posting a .556 shots on goal percentage for the season (30 shots on goal with 54 total shots). He ranks second in the conference in assists this season and in the Top 10 nationally. This is the third career All-MIAA honor for Cabral, who was picked Second Team in 2012 and 2013.

Cole ranks second on the team with five goals this season, adding three assists for 13 points. The junior forward posted a .533 shots on goal percentage (16 of 30 shots) and had three game-winners for the 2014 campaign. Cole’s game winning goals came against Colorado State-Pueblo in the season opener, at home against Southwest Baptist and in a key conference matchup at Lindenwood, when he hit a golden goal in the first overtime (2-1 win). The Round Rock, Texas native has developed a knack for clutch moments, ranking second all-time in career game-winning goals (seven) at FHSU. Cole picked up honorable mention honors in 2013 and was a Second Team selection in 2012.

Castorino’s debut at FHSU has been impressive in 2014, as the freshman forward has two goals and five assists (nine points). Castorino appeared in 14 games during the regular season, starting three while logging 627 minutes on the field. The Asuncion, Paraguay native made the most of his opportunities, firing 20 total shots on the year and putting 13 on goal. This is the second consecutive year that FHSU has produced the MIAA Freshman of the Year, as goalkeeper Jason Babyak won the award last year.

Linares grabs All-MIAA honors for the second year in a row after an honorable mention nod last year. The senior defender ranks third on the team with 1,487 minutes played for the year, joining Hymer on the back line for the Tigers that has allowed only 17 goals on the season. The Aurora, Colo., native has started 17 of 18 games for FHSU this season, posting complete game performances in 12 contests this year.

Lucio picks up the first All-MIAA honor of his career. From Wichita, Kan., the junior midfielder has provided steady play in the midfield for the Tigers, posting three goals and three assists in the regular season for nine points. He has a pair of game-winning goals this year, one at home against Lindenwood and the other on the road at Southwest Baptist.

Wilson picked up honorable mention honors for the first time in his career, playing just under 1,500 minutes (1,490) in 16 starts (17 appearances) for the Tiger defense. From Overland Park, Kan., he is one of the key components to the backline, helping limit opponents to a 0.91 goals against average for the year. On the offensive side of the ball, the sophomore has made an impact as well, scoring twice with one assist (five points).

The Tigers open postseason play Thursday (Nov. 6) in Olathe, Kan. for the MIAA Tournament Semifinals as the No. 2 seed. FHSU will play third-seeded Lindenwood at 4 p.m. from the College Boulevard Activities Complex.

It took 108 minutes, but Fort Hays State advanced to the MIAA Tournament Semifinals on a game-winning goal by Kelsey Steffens in double overtime. The third-seeded Tigers defeated sixth-seeded Missouri Western, 1-0, in the first round on Wednesday evening in Hays, Kan.

FHSU (13-4-2) will now play No. 2 seed Southwest Baptist on Friday, Nov. 7 in Olathe, Kan. Game time for Friday is 7 p.m.

Fort Hays State stormed out of the gates, firing eight shots in the initial 15 minutes against a Missouri Western defense that has allowed just 16 goals in the regular season. The Griffons’ defense bent, but did not break against the Tigers’ 14 total shots in the opening frame. FHSU held MWSU to just one shot in the first 45 minutes, stifling the Griffons’ offense to keep the match scoreless at the break.

Out of the pause, the wind seemed to slow the Tigers offense slightly, as MWSU picked up the pace to match FHSU for much of the half, outshooting the home team 6-5 in the final period of regulation. MWSU got the wind for the first overtime and charged hard, firing four shots (two on goal), but couldn’t capitalize.

Closing down on the end of the second overtime, the teams appeared headed for a shootout before Makatura’s pass from near midfield found Steffens alone at the upper left corner of the box. Steffens took two dribbles and ripped a shot towards the near post, finding the net to clinch the win.

Mallory Diederich and Cenayda Guzman led the team with four shots apiece, followed by Steffens’ three shots. Hannah Smith, Diederich and Jamie Babyak played all 107 minutes for the Tigers defense.

In the net, Kristen Thompson had four saves in a complete game performance, pushing her shutout total to 11 for the year.

The Tigers are now 4-0 all-time in the MIAA Tournament, winning the championship in 2012.
