The Barton Community College volleyball team wrapped up their four-match home stand Wednesday night, picking up their first conference victory of the season by defeating Garden City 25-19, 24-26, 25-19 and 25-18.  
The Lady Cougars improve to 2-6 on the season and even their conference mark at 1-1, while Garden City drops to 3-3 overall and 1-1 in conference play.
Barton took an early lead to begin the night and coasted for the six-point, first-set victory.  
The Lady Cougars went on to build an eight-point lead at 18-10 in the second set only to have Garden City respond with a 10-5 run to cut the deficit to three.  
Coupled with 10 errors, the Lady Cougars were unable to slow the Busters’ momentum as Garden City completed the comeback 26-24.
As with each set throughout the night, Barton got off to another good start in the fourth but a 5-2 run by the Busters flipped the scoreboard for a two-point Garden City lead.
After being tied at 17, the Lady Cougars used a 5-2 stretch to assume command then held Garden City scoreless the rest of the way to take a 2-1 match lead.
Breaking a five-all tie in the fourth, Barton gained separation with a 8-2 run, eventually stretching the lead out to six with a 18-11 advantage.
The gap was too large for another Busters comeback from that point as the Lady Cougars held the lead for the deciding set win.
Jordan Edelman had her best match as a Lady Cougar as the Wichita South freshman knocked down 10 kills with a .500 attack percentage as three hitters finished the night with 10-plus kills.
Redshirt freshman Kim Hockley hit at a .429 clip, tying sophomore Tahje Ochs with team-high honors with 11 kills each.  
Getting a double-double, 11-kill 29-dig performance, in Barton’s win last Friday, Ochs posted her second career double-double performance with 12 digs to go along with her 11 kills.
Sophomore Mykela Reid posted her eighth straight double-digit dig performance to lead the Lady Cougars with 18.
The Lady Cougars will visit life on the road for the next 21 days, beginning next Monday in a 6:30 p.m. conference match at Pratt.
Barton’s next home match is Wednesday, Sept. 24, against Marshalltown.

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
