HAYS, Kan. - The 25^th-ranked Fort Hays State men's soccer team improved to 8-3-1 overall with a 3-0 shutout of University of Mary on Saturday (Oct. 15). FHSU won both of its games against Mary this season. The Marauders are now 6-6 overall.
 
Mauricio Castorino started the scoring for FHSU in the 11^th minute when he recorded his third goal of the season. Michael Cole beat a defender down the left side of the field and then sent a ball to Castorino who put a quick move on a defender and then sent a shot into the bottom left corner of the net.
 
Dylan Kintner made it 2-0 in favor of the Tigers when he notched his second goal of the season. It was a great all around effort for the goal. Thanks to some nifty passing from Caesar Jones and Moises Peralta, Kintner found space in the box and launched a missile that found the back of the net in the 44^th minute.
 
Derick Gonzalez made it a three goal game when he recorded his team-leading eighth goal. Similar to the Cole-Castorino connection earlier in the match, Gonzalez took a pass in the box from Drew Wilson who made an offensive run from his defensive position. Gonzalez corralled the ball and blistered a shot past the diving keeper at the 60:04 mark.
 
Alex Rodela picked up the win in net for FHSU, stopping all five shots he faced. He now has won all three games he has started this season.
 
Next up for the Tigers is another non-conference match on Thursday (Oct. 20) when they travel to Oklahoma Baptist. The match is set for 7 pm.
