Quadros' seven-point afternoon powers Barton women to 6-2 win hosting Dodge City #GoBarton

A hat trick from an unlikely source Saturday at the Cougar Soccer Complex powered the Barton Community College women's soccer team to a 6-2 victory over Dodge City Community College.

Twenty-five games into her Barton career it was Leticia Quadros' day on the pitch as the sophomore defender not only delivered the game winning goal but added two more in succession while also adding an assist for a seven-point afternoon helping Barton avenge an earlier season tie to the Conquistadors in its conference opener.

The victory improves Barton 4-3-2 to kick off the second trip around conference play and 6-3-2 on the season while dropping Dodge City to 3-4-2 in league and 3-5-2 overall.

Victors of three straight, the hot streak will be put to the utmost test Wednesday in a 1:00 p.m. kick hosting 6th ranked Butler Community College who defeated the Cougars 2-1 nearly a month earlier in El Dorado.

Quadros netted her first collegiate goal four minutes after Dodge City tied it up at two. The play was set up following Beatriz Baldi's rejected shot at the upper-90 resulting in a corner kick. Sara Aguirre Lancheros' delivery was initially deflected with Quadros' boot sending it past a Conquistador defender protecting near post giving Barton the 3-2 advantage with 31:54 left.

Free kicks set up Quadros' next two goals, the first coming with 22:51 remaining on line drive 30-yard strike skipping through a host of players past the keeper. Four and half minutes later Quadros' leg was back at it with an even more impressive strike, this one coming from over forty-yards out in an upper-90 net rattler building the lead to 5-2 with 18:10 remaining.

Barton held a slim 5-4 shot advantage at halftime but three came in one flurry resulting in the afternoon's first goal at the 11:21 mark. Conquistador goalkeeper Ana Ramirez-Cortes rejected three Barton attempts within ninety seconds, the first coming from Adna Mahdi header off a corner piece. As the Cougars maintained possession in the offensive end, Fiona Jolly got off a shot inside the eighteen with the deflected shot coming to Orlane Guillou for another launch. With the ball still loose, Mahdi rushed in to get a near-post strike but was fouled resulting in Jolly toeing the stripe delivering the strike putting Barton out front.

Quadros helped set up Barton's second goal of the afternoon coming with 23:14 before half sending a midfield pass to Guillou who turned to dish out to Jolly on the corner of the eighteen in sending a rocket to the upper-90 near post for her 7th of the season.

Mariam El Mir netted both of Dodge City's goals, the first coming three minutes later depositing Lucia Culleres-Soto's pass from the midfield for a 20-yard strike inside far post. El Mir tallied her second and 6th of the year less than ten minutes after halftime with an equalizing 25-yard free kick sneaking just under the crossbar.

Holding a three goal cushion, Barton substituted often for the final eighteen minutes with reserves producing the final goal with 4:06 remaining. Fouled from 25-yards out, Micaella Ribeiro's free kick glanced off a leaping Ramirez-Cortez' mitt, banging off the crossbar as Kyra De Boer moved to head in the rebounded shot. Inadvertently the reactional punch-out from Ramirez-Cortez caught De Boer sending the sophomore crashing to the turf. The resulting penalty sent Ribeiro to the spot, converting the final tally of the day in netting her second of the season.

Mio Tanaka produced two saves on the afternoon improving to 6-3-2 with Ramirez-Cortez keeping seven Barton shots from rattling the net in dropping to 3-5-2 on the year.
