OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.— It was a pretty good fall tennis outing. The Barton Community College women’s tennis team traveled to the OKC Collegiate Open over the weekend hosted by Seminole State College.

Fall tennis has no team scores but allows individuals to compete competitively.

The Cougars took six women to the event with everyone winning at least one match.

Daniela Sanz had the best record for the women over the weekend, going 3-1 at No. 1 singles and winning the consolation draw.

Sanz lost her first round match to the 4th seed in the draw, Abbey Thompson, 6-4, 6-3. Sanz then rolled though the consolation draw.

The sophomore from Brazil won 6-0, 6-1 over Albs Payeas-Siler  in the first round then beat Daejau Lynch, 6-2, 6-3 to advance to the consolation finals.

In the consolation finals Sanz cruised to a 6-3, 6-1 win over Lindsey Pearce.

“Dani played some outstanding tennis. Based on what I’ve seen so far she should have a great spring season,” coach Lyle Stickney said. “After a tough loss in the first round she won her next three matches without losing a set”.

Another good outing was put forth by Idah Longwe at No. 3 singles. Longwe won her first round match 7-5, 6-0 over Sarah Wilbanks and was leading the draw’s 4th seed when she hurt her knee and had to retire.

“Idah was leading the No. 4 seed 6-1, 2-0 when she twisted her knee and had to withdraw,” coach Stickney said. “She was playing very well and would have made it to the semifinals if she could have continued.”

Claflin’s Karli Beck drew a bye in the opening round of No. 5 singles then advanced to the semifinals with a tiebreaker win over MacKenzie Griffith. In the semis she lost in straight sets to Sydney Brummet.

Baylee Reade made it to the consolation finals at No. 4 singles. After losing her opening match she cruised to a pair of straight set wins before losing in the consolation finals to Alex Morales.

Juliana Seabra lost her first match at No.2 singles. She won her first consolation draw match then lost in the semis. McKenna Hammeke also made it to the consolation semis at No. 5.

Seabra and Sanz made it to the consolation semis at No. 2 doubles for the best doubles outing for Barton.

ARKANSAS CITY -- The Barton Cougar baseball team scored early and often plating 11 of its runs over the first four innings to upset No. 3 Cowley College 12-8 on Tuesday. The Cougars (21-8) have won four in a row over the Tigers (23-7). Barton plays Jayhawk West leader Colby at 1 p.m. Thursday at Lawson-Biggs Field. The Cougars travel to Colby Sunday. Tyler Janssen led the Cougars balanced offensive attack providing three of the Cougars six extra base hits on the afternoon, finishing 3-for-5 and single shy of the cycle. The freshman drove in four runs highlighted behind his fourth-inning three-run round tripper for his fourth of the year. Eight of Barton's nine in the lineup furnished a hit with Janssen being joined by Kyle Graves 3-for-6 day at the plate and RBI, as the duo combined for six of the Cougars 14 hits on the afternoon. Kyle Walker was second in runs produced, driving in two of his three runs during Barton's four run top of the second frame, finishing 2-for-5 at the dish with a walk. Rounding out the Cougars' multi-RBI performances was Ayden Hadley and Wyatt Yetter, each driving in two runs apiece. Hadley distributed his pair with a first inning double while Yetter added the final run of a three-run first on a groundout followed by a leadoff fourth inning blast for his first big fly of the season. Despite finishing 0-for-1 at the plate, Barrett Donaldson generated three of Barton's nine walks created with a run scored. Braden Hauschel earned a no-decision in his one-inning of work allowing three runs on two hits with a walk and strikeout. Eli Lang (1-0) notched his first collegiate victory tossing 4.1-innings in relief scattering seven hits and three runs with Landon Haines getting the final two outs of the sixth allowing one hit with a stirkeout. Andrew McCarthy tossed a scoreless seventh with a strikeout while operating around a pair of walks. Cade Kunz handled the eighth yielding two runs on a hit and collected a strikeout before handing off to Preston Golden for the ninth, as the sophomore locked it down
