Ft. Hays Shocks NSU

HAYS, Kan. --- Fort Hays State scored a pair of goals in the final 31 minutes and handed Northeastern State a 2-1 loss here Sunday afternoon.

The RiverHawks fell to 9-5-3 on the year with a single match remaining next Friday at Incarnate Word. FHSU improved to 10-4-2 and salvaged a split in the two game series.

Bobby Behrens gave NSU an early 1-0 lead with an unassisted goal just 7:16 into the match. However, the RiverHawks were unable to protect the edge.
