KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The No. 15 ranked Fort Hays State men's soccer team fell by a score of 2-1 at No. 3 ranked Rockhurst University on Monday (Sept. 5) in a rematch of last year's NCAA National Quarterfinals. With the loss, FHSU dropped to 0-1-1 on the season while Rockhurst improved to 2-0.
 
Rockhurst got on the board early at the 7:22 mark when Michael Panarisi got a pass from Derek Schrick and buried it just inside the right post. Kaleb Jackson made it a 2-0 game right before halftime when he found the back of the net for the Hawks 43:42 into the game.
 
Luis Torres cut the Rockhurst lead in half in the 84^th minute. After a Rockhurst foul, Maurizio Costa sent a free kick into the box that Torres was able to head past the keeper. The late surge was not enough as the Hawks were able to hold off the Tigers to claim the victory.
 
Michael Yantz took the loss in net for the Tigers saving six of the eight shots that he faced.
 
FHSU looks to bounce back on Thursday (Sept. 8) when they head to Laredo, Texas to take on Texas A&M-International. The match is set for 7:30 pm.
