HAYS, Kan. – Fort Hays State men's soccer turned in a commanding performance on Saturday evening (Oct. 26), overpowering Ouachita Baptist with a lopsided 8-0 victory at FHSU Soccer Stadium. FHSU's relentless attack, clinical finishing, and elite defense propelled the Tigers to a 9-3-2 overall record and 6-2-1 mark in conference play. OBU dropped to 3-10-2 overall and 1-6-1 in the GAC.

The scoring spree began in the 16th minute when&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-soccer/roster/marcos-german/8347">Marcos German</a>&nbsp;sent a free kick into the box. After&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-soccer/roster/bastian-carlman/8343">Bastian Carlman</a>&nbsp;made a touch,&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-soccer/roster/elias-ovelar-semeniuk/7935">Elias Ovelar Semeniuk</a>&nbsp;finished with the final touch for the first goal.

FHSU outshot OBU 16-1 in the first half alone.

Emerging from the break with the same intensity, Fort Hays State struck again in the 54th minute when Ovelar Semeniuk capitalized on a perfectly headed pass from&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-soccer/roster/tadhg-walsh/7942">Tadhg Walsh</a>, extending the lead to 3-0. Less than a minute later,&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-soccer/roster/marcos-german/8347">Marcos German</a>&nbsp;displayed his own skill by finding the net off a corner kick from Walsh, pushing the score to 4-0.

Fort Hays State Football will play its final home game of the regular season on Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. as the Tigers take on Missouri Southern. It's Senior Day as 23 student-athletes on the football team will be recognized 30 minutes before the game. It is also the Hall of Fame Game this year as the newest members of the Tiger Sports Hall of Fame will be honored at halftime.

The Tigers are coming off a tough one-point loss to a Top-10 ranked Pittsburg State team last week in Pittsburg. The Tigers never trailed in the game until the final minute when the Gorillas scored a touchdown to go ahead by one. It was the first game this year in which FHSU scored less than 20 points, falling 18-17.The Tigers are seeking their first unbeaten season at home since 2018 when they finished 6-0 at Lewis Field Stadium. The Tigers are 5-0 at home so far this season with a pair of wins over AFCA Top 25 ranked teams.

Fort Hays State has won nine of the last 10 meetings with Missouri Southern and now holds a 19-14-1 advantage in the all-time series. A 25-24 win by the Lions in Hays in 2022 stopped an eight-game win streak by the Tigers. FHSU has averaged 39.0 points per game in its last 10 contests against Missouri Southern.

Missouri Southern is coming off a 42-21 loss at Washburn. The Lions have lost their last three games after claiming a 27-20 win at Northeastern State back on September 28. The Lions are allowing an average of 40.5 points per game this season. Five opponents this year have scored at least 40 against the Lions. Even though the Lions are 1-7 overall, two of their losses were one-score games.

Fort Hays State won last year's meeting with Missouri Southern by a score of 35-22 in Joplin. The Lions were within six points of the Tigers early in the fourth quarter, but sealed the win on a touchdown with 3:39 remaining in the game.

The Tigers own an 11-4 advantage in the series history between the teams in MIAA play. That includes a 5-3 mark in Hays and 6-1 mark in Joplin. FHSU won the last six games contested between the schools in Joplin.

Fort Hays State owns the third-best redzone defense in NCAA Division II, allowing opponents to score only 55 percent of the time. The Tigers rank fourth nationally in fumbles recovered with eight this year.

Shane Watts&nbsp;leads the Tigers in rushing with 677 yards. His 11 total touchdowns for the season (9 rushing, 2 receiving) puts him second in the MIAA in scoring with 66 points. Jayden Horace&nbsp;leads in receiving with 39 catches for 490 yards and five touchdowns. He now has 2,337 receiving yards in his career with 24 touchdowns, which includes two years at Allen University and two at Fort Hays State.

Defensively, Makel Williams continues to lead the Tiger and the MIAA in tackles with 70. He has reached double figures in tackles in four games this season. Myles Menges&nbsp;leads the Tigers and is tied for the MIAA lead in sacks with 5.0. FHSU has the third-best scoring defense in the MIAA, allowing just 18.8 points per game.

PLAINVILLE – The TMP-Marian Monarchs could not overcome
three second-half turnovers as they dropped their district finale Friday in Plainville
24-14.

The Plainville Cardinals took possession of the ball on the
first drive. After driving inside Monarchs territory, Carson Liles intercepted Plainville
Cardinals quarterback Joey Dintino at the TMP 23-yard line. This was the first
of three interceptions for the Monarchs' defense in the game.

The Monarchs' offense also struggled in the first half. They
turned the ball over on downs twice and punted in the first three possessions
of the game.

Plainville got on the scoreboard first, scoring on a 21-yard
Dintino pass for a 7-0 lead with just over four and a half minutes in the first
quarter.

On the ensuing kickoff, TMP sophomore Carson Pinkney
suffered a leg injury and was taken to the hospital. That resulted in a lengthy
delay, and the Monarchs were forced to punt it right back in Plainville. 

On that possession, TMP’s Adler Brown recorded his second
career interception on the next Plainville drive and returned it to the
Plainville 15-yard line.

TMP capitalized on the turnover, scoring on a four-yard touchdown
pass to Grant Nehls, and the two-point conversion to Isaac Purinton gave TMP the
8-7 lead with 16 seconds to play.

The Monarchs had the lead at halftime, but on the first play
of the second half, Liles fumbled the ball on an option play. Plainville recovered
it and returned it 30 yards for the score, making it 14-8 Plainville.

The Monarchs lost a second fumble, and Liles threw an interception
in the second half.

TMP got back on the board early in the first quarter, taking
advantage of a short field&nbsp;with a 45-yard drive that was capped off on a
two-yard Adler Brown run. The missed extra point made it 14-14.

Plainville scored the next 10 unanswered points and held off
a late Monarch drive for a 24-14 victory.

Plainville secured the district title and a first-round home
game next week with the win. Smith Center finished second, TMP third and Oakley
fourth in 1A-district 8.

TMP quarterback Carson Liles finished 16-of-31 for 231 yards
with a touchdown and an interception. 

Both Jacob Seib and Isaac Purinton finished with six
receptions for TMP. Grant Nehls had a game-high 98 yards receiving. 

TMP will be on the road next Friday night for a first-round
playoff matchup. The playoff seedings will be released this weekend.

HAYS - Hays High honored their seniors Friday night during the final home game of the regular season. The Indians hosted the Liberal Redskins to finish out Western Athletic Conference play.

Each team scored a touchdown in the first half but were unable to get the point after. Carter Graham found Johnny Cano in the back of the end zone for a five yard score with :58 seconds left in the first quarter. Cano made a 38 yard reception earlier in the drive as he toe-tapped prior to going out of bounds.&nbsp;

Hays was unable to get the kick away on the extra point try and a pass on the scramble play floated out of the back of the end zone.

Liberal got their score on one play. Freshmen quarterback Tevin Cotter went over the top of the Hays defense to James Fieser for 74 yards with 1:39 left before halftime. Kamani Jones blocked the extra point to keep the game tied at six.

Liberal grabbed an eight point lead on a 90 yard pass when Cotter connected with Fieser for a second time. The two point conversion put the Redskins up 14-6.&nbsp;

Hays strung together 10 plays on their next drive that marched 62 yards for a touchdown. Graham found Holden Lind in the back left corner of the end zone on a 12 yard pass. Carson Moore knocked through the extra point to cut the lead down to 14-13 with 3:00 left in the third quarter.

🏈 Hays drops heartbreaker to Liberal

KEARNEY, Neb. - The Fort Hays State volleyball team gave 6th-ranked Nebraska-Kearney all it could handle Friday evening (Oct. 25) on the road, taking the Lopers to four sets before falling 26-28, 26-24, 22-25, 17-25. 

The Tigers (10-9, 2-8) held leads in each of the first three sets, but the league-leading Lopers (22-1, 9-1) managed to defend their home floor and secure the win.

The Tigers dominated out of the gate, scoring nine in a row to take a commanding 9-1 lead.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/claire-olson/7947">Claire Olson</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/ashlyn-reeves/7949">Ashlyn Reeves</a>&nbsp;each had two kills and a block during the run, helping FHSU take complete control and silence the UNK crowd. The Lopers closed within five, 12-7, before a 5-1 Tiger run put FHSU up nine, 17-8.

The Tigers maintained their advantage, later leading 21-12 before the home team came roaring back. UNK scored six in a row to pull within three, 21-18, before Reeves broke up the streak with a kill. FHSU scored again on a Loper error, putting the Tigers within two of taking the set, 23-18. UNK scored the next four to pull within one before a service error gave the Tigers the first set point opportunity. The Lopers then scored three in a row to pull in front for the first time since it was 1-0, 25-24. FHSU fought off a pair of Loper set points before the home team ultimately took the set 28-26.

The Lopers used the momentum to build a five-point lead early in the second set. Trailing 16-11, Fort Hays State scored five in a row to level the score at 16. Olson opened the run with a kill before Reeves and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/caiya-stucky/7954">Caiya Stucky</a>&nbsp;followed with kills. FHSU then tied the score on back-to-back blocks, one from Reeves and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/grace-schmedding/8180">Grace Schmedding</a>&nbsp;and one from Reeves and Stucky.

The teams traded points for the next dozen rallies before FHSU finally broke through and took the lead at 23-22. The Lopers punched right back, however, taking the next two points to reach set point. An attack error kept the Tigers alive before Stucky and Reeves teamed up for another block to give FHSU a chance at set point. Another Loper error sealed the deal in the second, giving FHSU a 26-24 win.

The black and gold led by as many as three midway through the third set, 13-10, after the Tigers rattled off four consecutive points. Olson began the run with a kill before Stucky and Reeves got together for two more rejections. FHSU led as late as 14-13 before the Lopers scored three in a row to take the lead for good. The home team reached set point at 24-20 before the Tigers dropped in a pair of kills to extend the set two more points. UNK finally finished things off with a kill, taking the set 25-22.

The Lopers never trailed in the fourth set, using an 11-2 run to turn a slim 8-7 edge into a commanding 19-9 lead. Fort Hays State later trailed by as many as 12, 24-12, before fighting off five match points and pull within 24-17. The rally eventually fell short, with UNK taking the set 25-17 to secure the victory.

The Tigers posted an attack percentage of .160 on the night (56-25-194) while racking up 10 total blocks. Olson led the team with 14 kills, doing so on 33 attempts with just one error for a swing rate of .394. Schmedding and Rains each tallied 11 kills, with Reeves adding 10 kills and seven blocks (one solo). Stucky racked up 40 assists, six digs, five blocks and four kills.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/kirsten-evans/7943">Kirsten Evans</a>&nbsp;led the team with 26 digs while adding six assists.

Fort Hays State will return home for its final two regular season home matches next weekend when Newman comes to town on Friday (Nov. 1, 6 p.m.) followed by a match against Pittsburg State on Saturday (Nov. 2, 2 p.m.).&nbsp;&nbsp;
