Lady Cougars remain undefeated in KJCCC action
Since dropping the first two games of the season, the Barton women’s soccer team has won their sixth straight game on Saturday, recording a 3-0 shutout of Allen.
The Lady Cougars recorded their fourth shutout to improve 6-2 overall and 6-0 in Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference play. Allen falls to 5-3, 3-1.
Launching nine shots against the wind, the Lady Cougars finally broke through with 16:16 to play in the opening half.
An arcing pass off the foot of Olimpia Bonilla from a right-side corner kick found Bianca Barron, who beat Red Devils goalkeeper Keelie Arbuckle.
Holding the one-goal margin through intermission, the Lady Cougars again converted a corner kick midway through the second half.   Pin-balling through a mass of humanity in front of the net, the Lady Cougars were the beneficiary of an own goal as the ball eventually caromed into the Allen net off a Red Devil defender.
