Dodge City Men 3, Barton 2
A 60-yard goal set the tone of what the day had in store for the 5th ranked Barton Community College men's soccer team as Dodge City Community College pulled off a big KJCCC season opening victory at Memorial Stadium.
Dodge City's long distance wind-aided net shaker over the top of a leaping Emil Ludemann-Ravit just six minutes into the contest was one of three glaring defensive miscues committed by the young Cougars while the offense missed countless opportunities leaving Barton on the wrong side of the scoreboard.
Barton falls to 2-1 on the early slate while Dodge City bounces back from a 5-2 defeat to Division II 19th ranked Neosho County in moving to 1-1 on the year.
Barton Women 2, Dodge City 2
A late Adna Mahdi header Wednesday evening salvaged a 2-2 draw for the 17th ranked Barton Community College women's soccer team's season and conference opener at Dodge City Community College.
Barton will next host upstart Highland Community College in a 1:30 p.m. Saturday kick at the Cougar Soccer Complex before a quick turnaround for a Sunday trek to El Dorado in a 7:00 p.m. kick-off at 12th ranked Butler Community College.
