A late cherry-on-the-top goal didn't tell the story in Wednesday evening's conference battle in Arkansas City as the 14th ranked Barton Community College men's soccer team fell 2-0 at 4th ranked Cowley College.

The loss drops Barton to 1-3-0 in the KJCCC and 5-3-0 overall while Cowley stays atop the standings at 4-0-1 and 6-0-1 on the year.

Barton looks to end its two-game slide at the hands of the conference leaders this Saturday hosting Garden City Community College in a 1:00 p.m. kick at Cougar Field to begin a five-game homestand stretch.

Cowley's eventual game winner came just under nine minutes into the contest, making the most of a deflected uncleared attempt by sending the loose ball inside far post.

The Cougars' lone corner kick ironically resulted in the cushion net rattler, the missed set piece opportunity turning into a Cowley counterattack ending in the back of the net with sixty-one seconds remaining.
