FHSU SPORTS INFORMATION DEPARTMENT
The Fort Hays State women’s soccer team has been tabbed No. 5 in the first set of Central Region Rankings released by the NCAA on Wednesday (Oct. 19). The Tigers are one of five MIAA teams inside the top six.
Central Missouri currently owns the No. 1 spot in the region rankings. Minot State of the NSIC is No. 2, but its only loss of the season was to Fort Hays State. The Tigers have a big chance to move up in the rankings this week when they host the No. 3 and No. 4 ranked teams, Northeastern State and Central Oklahoma, at home. Lindenwood is No. 6 in the region, another team FHSU has a head-to-head win against this season.
