The Barton Community College women's basketball team rebounded from a disappointing loss on Friday to dismantle Independence Community College 72-55 at the Barton Gym Saturday evening.After shooting a season low field goal percentage the night prior, the Lady Cougars shot 57% in the first half to build a sixteen point lead into the break and finish 1-1 in the weekend's Best Western Angus Inn and Cougar Booster Club Classic. The victory improves Barton to 8-2 and drops Independence, who had beaten Butler Community College on Friday night, to 6-3 on the season.

The Lady Cougars will play both Friday and Saturday at 1:30 p.m., first taking on fellow conference member Allen County Community College then wrapping up the Classic with the junior varsity squad from Central Methodist University.
Barton found themselves trailing 9-8 seven minutes into the contest before Cierra Lampe's right baseline three pointer kick started a sixteen point run. The Lady Cougars capped off the run with a Dominique Baker trey and Julia Dixon's muscled bucket in the paint as Barton took control in the four minute span to lead 24-8.
Independence cut the lead to nine but a stout Barton defense holding the Lady Pirates without a field goal the last 7:05 of the half and getting consecutive treys by Kilee Harris and Indiah Cauley all but ended any Lady Pirate hope of a comeback.
Lampe and Phikala Anthony led a balanced Barton attack in scoring with eleven points each as ten players added three or more points in the contest. Anthony lead a seventeen assist to twenty-seven field goal effort with five while five players tied for team high honors in rebounds with four each.
Gokce Cetin led the Lady Pirates with twenty-one with Briana Jackson-Brew contributing twelve and grabbing a team high seven rebounds.
