Box Score Fort Hays State continued its impressive start to the season with a 4-0 victory over Sioux Falls on Sunday, Sept. 7.  It was the second straight four-goal performance by the Tigers, and was the second regional victory in as many games. 
 
Freshman Kelsey Steffens had two goals for the Tigers, while Jordan Hester and Jordan Shaw scored as well.  Hailey Davey assisted in three of the goals, setting a new school record for assists in a single game.
 
Hester carried over her strong play from Friday, scoring her third goal of the young season to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead at 19:38.  Davey's cross pass tipped off Cougar goalkeeper Cheyanne Carpenter's fingers towards Hester, who finished from 10 yards out.
 
FHSU extended its lead to 2-0 just before half on Steffens' first career goal as Davey picked up her second assist of the game.  In the 45th minute (44:28), Davey's cross found Steffens waiting, who dribbled it in for the score.
 
In the 66th minute, Shaw took a free kick from 30 yards out, driving a shot to the top right side of the net and pushing the lead to three.
 
Inside 10 minutes to play in regulation (81:05), Steffens netted her second goal of the day, gathering a cross from Davey in the middle of the box, hitting a shot past goalkeeper Jordin Crosby.
 
FHSU controlled the ball most of the contest, firing 28 shots and allowing just two USF attempts, neither of which were on goal. The Tigers' Kristen Thompson recorded her first shutout in goal, playing all 90 minutes.
 
The Tigers travel to Colorado next weekend for matches against Colorado State-Pueblo (Friday, Sept. 12) and UC-Colorado Springs (Sunday, Sept. 14).  FHSU will make its home debut Sept. 19 against Nebraska-Kearney.
