Tigers Hold Steady at No. 14 in NSCAA Division II Rankings

FHSU Sports Information Department

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Fort Hays State held steady in the first regular season edition of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America NCAA Division II Poll, released on Tuesday (Sept. 8). The Tigers remained No. 14 in the national rankings and join two other MIAA schools in the top 25.

Fort Hays State posted a pair of neutral site victories this past week, defeating Missouri S&T and Truman in Tahlequah, Okla. Northeastern State had wins over the same two opponents, but dropped three spots in the latest poll to No. 24 after holding the No. 21 spot in the preseason poll. Making a huge leap in the rankings was Lindenwood, which knocked off preseason No. 23 Drury and then No. 3 Quincy University on its home field in the opening week. Lindenwood moved from unranked to No. 7 in the first regular season poll.

The MIAA looks strong early as four of the five teams are 2-0. Upper Iowa is receiving votes in the first poll.
