KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Fort Hays State Women's Soccer is among the receiving votes section of the United Soccer Coaches Top 25 Poll for the fourth straight week. The latest edition of the poll was released on Tuesday (Nov. 7). The Tigers enter their semifinal match of the MIAA Tournament on Thursday at 13-3-3 overall this season.

Fort Hays State knocked off Northeastern State in the quarterfinals of the MIAA Tournament back on Friday last week to reach this week's MIAA Tournament semifinals and final location at Stryker Sports Complex in Wichita, Kan. FHSU takes on No. 15 ranked Central Missouri in the semifinals on Thursday (Nov. 9) at noon. UCM took the only meeting between the teams so far this year in Warrensburg.

Joining Central Missouri in the Top 25 is Washburn, the No. 1 seed in the MIAA Tournament. The Ichabods hold a national ranking of No. 7 this week as they prepare to meet Emporia State in the other MIAA Tournament semifinal match.

This is the third straight season the FHSU women have at least received votes in the national poll. The Tigers were among the Top 25 last year, reaching as high as No. 22.
