Barton Women 1, Cowley 1
An 85th minute strike salvaged an all-important draw Wednesday evening in Arkansas City for the 7th ranked Barton Community College women's soccer team resulting in a 1-all tie at 17th ranked Cowley College.
Adna Mahdi provided the game winning strike with 4:40 remaining on the clock, coming out of nowhere to meet Leticia Silva's cross to fire far post from the top of the eighteen in capitalizing on the opportunity for her 1st collegiate net rattler.
The second 1-1 gridlock between the teams this season leaves the conference leading Cougars in the driver's seat of the title improving to 10-1-3 in the race and on the season while Cowley stands at 8-2-4 in both league and overall.
Barton's final road trip of the regular season leaves the Cougars with two home 3:00 p.m. kickoffs remaining on the slate beginning Saturday hosting Garden City Community College followed by Monday's welcoming of Seward County Community College for their first ever trip to the Cougar Soccer Complex.
