KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Fort Hays State Women's Soccer is back in the United Soccer Coaches Top 25 for the first time since 2017, ranked No. 23 in the latest edition of the poll released on Tuesday (Oct. 11). The Tigers, still unbeaten this season at 8-0-6 overall, moved up from the receiving votes section of the poll last week to the Top 25 this week.

The Tigers played to a scoreless draw with Northeastern State and a 1-1 draw with Rogers State last week as they remain unbeaten in MIAA play at 3-0-4. This is the Tigers first appearance in the national poll since September 5, 2017. FHSU was ranked No. 14 in the preseason poll that year and then moved to No. 17 in the first regular season poll before dropping out.

Fort Hays State joins No. 5 ranked Central Missouri to represent the MIAA in the Top 25, while Central Oklahoma slipped from No. 21 to the receiving votes section.
