Barton women blank Panthers on Sophomore Day #GoBarton

Barton women's soccer sophomores and families

Barton women's soccer Thayna Algaves launches a shot Playing their final home game of the season, the Barton Community College women's soccer team lit the lamp twice Monday afternoon earning a 2-0 victory over the reserve squad from York College.

Posting their sixth shutout of the season, the Cougars conclude the regular season at 9-7-0 overall while the contest was treated as an exhibition for the Panthers. Barton, the third seed out of the Jayhawk West at 8-4 in conference play, will head out on the road Saturday afternoon for its first round Region VI playoff game kicking off at 1:00 p.m. against the East's No. 2 seed Kansas City Kansas Community College (12-3-0, 9-3-0).

A dominating but unlucky opening frame seemed be the early storyline for the Cougars until freshman Thayna Algaves picked a magnificent time to shake the nets thirty-five minutes in recording her first collegiate goal and eventual game winner, thrashing back Mercy Azanapo's rejected laser.

Battling against the 35-40 mph gusts in the second half, Barton would not become complacent needing only 13 minutes to tally an insurance goal when sophomore Larissa Modesto netted her fourth of the season tapping home Kurumi Arakawa and Domenica Pena's fourth assists of the season.

Cougar net protector Aida Saenz and the stout defensive line held the Panthers at bay posting a clean sheet.
