KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Fort Hays State Men's Soccer was tabbed No. 5 in the latest United Soccer Coaches Top 25 rankings, released on Tuesday. The Tigers are among the top-5 nationally for the third-straight week, ranked No. 5 twice and No. 4 once within that span.
Fort Hays State went 2-0 last week and holds the same overall record as the No. 1 ranked team in the nation, University of Charleston, both at 14-0-3 overall. FHSU and Charleston are tied for the national lead in wins and won-lost-tied percentage (.912). Charleston moved up to No. 1 this week from No. 2 after previous No. 1 Cal State-Stanislaus took its first loss of the season to a No. 10 ranked Cal State-Dominguez Hills team this past week.
Surprisingly, Anderson (S.C.) took its first loss of the season at home to a team currently with a sub-.500 record and jumped FHSU to No. 4 in the poll this week after going 1-1 last week, now 9-1-4 overall. Cal State-Stanislaus fell just two spots to No. 3 in the poll after its loss to Cal State-Dominguez Hills.
Fort Hays State remains unbeaten through 17 matches this season. They are 10-0-1 so far in GAC play and have one match remaining in the regular season, a conference contest at Newman University on Thursday evening (Nov. 6) in Wichita.
Fort Hays State clinched the rights to host the GAC Tournament on November 13 and 15 at FHSU Soccer Stadium in Hays by winning the conference regular season title. The Tigers locked up the title with a 4-0 win at Ouachita Baptist last week. It was the fourth conference regular season title in program history, which started in 2011.
This is the longest unbeaten streak to start a season in program history and 17 matches is the longest unbeaten streak in program history regardless of point in time. The previous program record was 16, set by the 2018 team that played in the national semifinals of the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers passed the former mark with the 5-0 win at Harding this past Saturday.
Fort Hays State and Rogers State continue as the two teams from the GAC represented in the Top 25. The Hillcats are tied for No. 17 in the latest poll with an overall record of 10-2-4. Rogers State's only two losses this year were to Fort Hays State. Northeastern State is among the receiving votes section of the latest poll.
Fort Hays State and Charleston are the only teams in the top 10 this week that remain unbeaten for the season. There are four total teams in the top 25 without a loss this season. Lincoln (Mo.) has not lost this season, but surprisingly fell out of the top 25 this week after tying nationally ranked Rockhurst.
Fort Hays State is the national leader in total points (151), goal differential (+45), corner kicks per match (8.82), and shutout percentage (.765). The Tigers are tied for the national lead in won-lost-tied percentage (.912) with Charleston (W.Va.). The Tigers rank second nationally total goals (51), total assists (49), assists per match (2.88), and shots per match (19.18), while ranking third in points per match (8.88), save percentage (.870), scoring offense (3.00), and shots on goal per match (8.65).
