WICHITA -- Daniela Sanz con
tinues to impress and so do the Barton Community College women's tennis team.
After dropping its opening match of the season, Barton has put together back-to-back 8-1 wins. The latest of those was an 8-1 win over Friends University Wednesday at the Genisis West Club in Wichita.
"Although the overall team score was lopsided we really didn’t play our best tennis," Coach Lyle Stickney said of his women's team.
Leading the way has been Sanz, a freshman for the Cougars. She won both No. 1 singles and, along with Barbara Codognotto, earned a win at No. 1 doubles.
"We are still waiting for Daniela to be tested," Coach Stickney said. "She coasted to another easy win today and has dropped just three games in four matches. Daniela and Barbara also reamained unbeaten."
Sanz had an easy day in singles, defeating Meredith Haney, 6-0, 6-0. Codognotto did likewise at No. 2 singles over Alexis Johnson. The duo won 8-1 at No. 1 doubles over Haney and Blakley, 8-1.
Claflin's Karli Beck won a tight battle with Torye Lembke at No. 3 singles, prevailing by a 7-5, 7-5 score.
“Karli continues to win her matches at No. 3, but I’m looking forward to seeing her compete the way she practices, with much more confidence," Coach Stickney said.
Beck and Kelly Brauer had little trouble winning No. 2 doubles. The tandem beat Lembke and Johnson 8-2. Brauer suffered the lone loss of the day at No. 4 singles by a 6-2, 6-4 margin to Blakley.
The Great Bend pair of Stephanie Langer and Rebecca Brining won at No. 3 doubles. The two defeated Victoria Nissley and Alexandria Shamburger, 8-3.
Langer defeated Nissley at No. 5 singles 6-1, 6-4 while Brining won No. 6, 8-1, over Shamburger.
It was more than a month between the opening two matches in January and the next date Wednesday but things pick up quickly now. The Cougars are back on the court Saturday when they travel to Hillsboro for a battle with Tabor College.

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 freshman drove in four runs highlighted behind his fourth-inning three-run round tripper for his fourth of the year.

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.
