Cougars dominate in battle
of nationally-ranked teams
Almost a year after Cloud County men’s soccer team ended Barton’s 2011 season in the NJCAA Region VI playoffs, the Cougars unleashed a portion of revenge on their tormentor in a 4-0 victory on Saturday.
No. 9-ranked Barton jumped on the defending NJCAA champions with three first-half goals in route to the shutout, which assures the Cougars at least a share of the KJCCC championship.
Sam McCrillis found Ebu Camara for the first two goals, and Gonzalo Gelso drilled in a goal from 30 yards out.
Hector Mata scored the only goal of the second half to give the Cougars a 4-0 advantage over the No. 7-ranked Thunderbirds.
The Cougars are 12-2-1 overall, 9-0-0 conference, and can clinch the KJCCC title outright with a victory on Wednesday against Kansas City, Kansas at the Cougars Soccer/Track Complex at 4 p.m.
