Barton's Roenfeldt earns week one conference honor

Katrina Roenfeldt of the Barton Community College women's basketball team has been awarded the KJCCC Division I Player of the Week honor from the opening week of the 2016-17 season.  

Coming off a medical redshirt season, Roenfeldt made her 2016 debut last Tuesday dropping twenty-four points and knocking down six treys while also tying for the team lead in rebounds with seven leading the Lady Cougars to their season opening victory over Brown Mackie College.   Knocking down 5-of-11 from beyond the arc two days later on opening night of Best Western/Cougar Booster Club Classic, Roenfeldt helped lead Barton to the upset victory over No. 25 Iowa Western scoring twenty-one points with five steals while just missing a double-double hauling down nine rebounds.  Roenfeldt completed her opening week with twelve points finishing the season's first three games averaging nineteen points and 7.3 rebounds, shooting over 46% including nearly 44% from behind the arc.

Roenfeldt and the 3-1 Lady Cougars will begin conference play on Saturday traveling to 2-2 Colby Community College for a 6:00 p.m. tip-off at the Community Building.
