With the loss, UIU drops to 1-1 on the young season, while Fort Hays State begins the year 2-0.

In the 11th minute, Eden Stoddard took a pass from Darby Hirsch and scored the first of her two goals in the game. Stoddard added to the lead in the 35th minute to put FHSU up 2-0 in the first half. The Peacocks trailed in both shot attempts (9-2) in the first period, while both teams earned three corners.

The second 45 minutes were much of the same. The Tigers held the advantage in shots (7-2), and corners earned (7-1). FHSU put a cap on the shutout in the 85th minute, when Vianei Sanchez scored.
