KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Fort Hays State Men's Soccer moved up two spots in the latest United Soccer Coaches Top 25 Poll, released on Tuesday (Oct. 20). The Tigers are ranked No. 12 in the latest poll.
Fort Hays State and Rogers State represent the Great American Conference in the latest Top 25. The Hillcats are ranked No. 25 for the second-straight week. Ouachita Baptist is among the receiving votes section this week.
FHSU has been listed in the top 25 in all nine releases of the poll this season and in 24 consecutive polls dating back to October 2024, extending the longest streak in program history.
The United Soccer Coaches Top 25 has no bearing on the new NCAA NPI rankings. In the second release of the rankings this season on Monday (Oct. 19), FHSU was ranked fourth in Super Region 3. Ten teams will make the Super Regional field for the NCAA Tournament.
The Tigers go into this week with an overall record of 10-2-3 and a conference mark of 8-0-1. FHSU hosts Ouachita Baptist Thursday evening (Oct. 22) before taking on Harding Saturday morning (Oct. 24).
Fort Hays State is now unbeaten in 35-straight matches against Great American Conference teams, excluding the NCAA Tournament (played Rogers State in the national quarterfinals last year). The streak started during the 2024 season (12 matches), continued all through the 2025 season (14 matches), and through the first nine conference matches this season. The 35-match streak is now the fourth-best in NCAA Division II history, just one shy of second best owned by Mercyhurst (1996-2002) and Colorado School of Mines (2017-2019). Southern Connecticut State has the longest streak in history at 46, accomplished from 1995-2000.
