After dropping its first two games of the season to ranked opponents, the Barton Community College women's soccer team earned its first win by shutting out Cowley College 2-0 Thursday night in Arkansas City.  Barton improves to 1-2 on the season and 1-0 in Jayhawk Conference play while dropping Cowley to 1-2 overall and 0-2 in conference.  The Lady Cougars will play its first game of the season at home on Sunday as the Coffeyville Community College Red Ravens come to the Cougar Soccer Complex for a 1:00 p.m. contest.

Freshman Candice Bieler helped get Barton on the scoreboard with fifteen minutes in the first half with a right corner cross to sophomore Bianca Barron.  Barron, who was a first team all-conference and region player last season, took Bieler's pass to beat the Cowley goalkeeper to score her first goal of the season and gave the Cougars the 1-0 halftime advantage.

Mariana Poveda, one of five returning sophomores to have earned post season honors last season, helped the Cougars put the game away with twenty-one minutes remaining on a deep forward pass to Barron.  Barron, who scored thirty-one goals her first season, broke behind the defense on the pass to seal the Cougars' 2-0 victory.
