Tigers Take MIAA Opener at Emporia State

EMPORIA, Kan. – Fort Hays State women’s soccer snapped out of a three-match winless funk on Sunday by winning its MIAA opener at Emporia State. The Tigers won in shutout fashion, 1-0, to improve to 5-2-1 overall on the season and 1-0 in the MIAA. Emporia State dropped to 2-4-2 overall and 0-1 in the MIAA.
Eden Stoddard provided all the scoring necessary, putting in a goal on an assist from Kelsey Steffens in the 7th minute of the game. It was Stoddard’s team-best sixth goal of the season.

The Tiger defense allowed just nine shots throughout the match and only three on goal. Offensively, the Tigers produced 16 shots and put eight on goal. Abbie Flax saved three shots for the win, moving to 4-2-1 on the season. Yadira Rivera took the loss for ESU, saving seven shots.
