Fort Hays State Women's Soccer is back at home after playing its last six matches away from Hays. The Tigers (5-1-2, 2-0 MIAA) host No. 7 ranked Central Missouri on Friday (Oct. 4) at 7 p.m. and then Emporia State on Sunday (Oct. 6) at 2 p.m. The Tigers enter on a five-match win streak.
 
Central Missouri enters the weekend 5-2-1 overall and sit in a three-way tie at the top of the MIAA with Fort Hays State and Missouri Western at 2-0. The Jennies are coming off home wins against Northeastern State and Rogers State last week. Their two losses this season were to teams currently ranked No. 2 (Grand Valley State) and No. 11 (Dallas Baptist) in the nation. The Tigers are seeking their first win over the Jennies since the 2015 season when they won 2-1 in Hays over a No. 1 nationally ranked Jennies squad. The Jennies have gone 12-0-1 against the Tigers since that result. Last year, UCM won 3-0 in Warrensburg and then 1-0 in the MIAA Tournament semifinals in Wichita.
 
Emporia State has been a thorn in the side of Fort Hays State each of the last two years. The Hornets knocked the Tigers out of the NCAA Tournament both years, even though the Tigers went unbeaten against the Hornets in the last four regular season meetings (1-0-3). The Hornets enter the weekend 3-3-1 overall and 1-1 in the MIAA after a win over Newman and loss to Central Oklahoma last week. The Tigers lead the all-time series 9-7-8 and seek their first home win over the Hornets since 2017. The teams have played to a draw in four of the last six regular season meetings.
 
Taylor Hill and Allison Worley lead the Tigers in points, both with five. Each have two goals and one assist on the season. Britney Arneson, Gracen Chaney, and Emily Hutchings all have four points. Mackenzie Caldwell leads the MIAA in goals against average (0.50) and save percentage (9.15) and is tied for the lead in shutouts (5).
