Barton Women 2, Coffeyville 0
It took less than sixty seconds Wednesday evening for the 10th ranked Barton Community College women's soccer team to produce the winning goal in riding out a 2-0 victory at 19th ranked Coffeyville Community College.
Turning a defensive end ball to the Cougars' game winner, the Cougars executed a series of passes for the eventual game winner just fifty-three seconds in the game. Rin Sato began the play with a long pass from deep in Barton territory with Beatriz Baldi's redirecting in the midfield leading to her first collegiate assist. The pass led to the Red Ravens' nightmare scenario facing Nina Norshie in a 1v1 situation with the Barton sophomore's one-touched chip over the keeper finding the net.
Less than six minutes into second half action, Norshie doubled the lead with her 46th career goal by pick-pocketing a Red Raven defender then firing near post to all but seal the victory.
Barton improves to 2-0-1 in conference play and overall while handing the Red Ravens the first defeat of their three games on the season and 1-1 in conference action.
The Cougars will step out of conference play next Wednesday in a trip to Winfield for a 7:00 p.m. kick versus the junior varsity squad of Southwestern College before getting back to KJCCC action on Saturday, September 9, hosting Kansas City Kansas Community College.
