The Missouri Western women’s soccer team will travel to Fort Hays State for its first ever appearance in the MIAA Women’s Soccer Tournament on Wednesday, November 5 at 6 p.m.

The Griffons enter the tournament as the six seed and have a chance for redemption against the third seeded Tigers. Fort Hays snapped the Griffons, record, five game winning streak with a 1-0 win on Oct. 19 in Hays, Kansas. The Griffons held Fort Hays to just two shots on goal, but the first goal Sarah Lyle had allowed since September, was all the Tigers needed to win.

Should Missouri Western win Wednesday, they would face the winner of Emporia State (7) at Southwest Baptist (2) on Friday at the College Boulevard Activities Complex in Olathe, Kansas at 7 p.m. The Griffons claimed 1-0 victories over both squads during their five-game win streak earlier this season.

Along with winning more matches than any other Griffon Soccer squad, the team suffered the fewest losses, got off to the program’s best ever start, set a new mark for shutouts in a season, had the longest winning streak ever and head coach Chad Edwards became the program’s winningest coach on Oct. 10, among other records set this season.
