Baldi's pair of second half goals lifts Barton women to 2-0 victory at Coffeyville #GoBarton

Controlling first half possession against the wind, the Barton Community College women's soccer team maintained second half control with the advantage to rattle the net twice for a 2-0 victory at Coffeyville Community College.

The victory improves Barton to 5-4-2 in league play and 7-4-2 overall while keeping the Red Ravens winless in the KJCCC at 0-7-3 in dropping to 1-8-3.

Next Saturday Barton begins its second time through a tough three-game stretch against ranked opponents hosting 9th ranked Kansas City Kansas Community College for a 3:00 p.m. kick followed by a Wednesday road trip to No. 18 Hutchinson Community College before 12th ranked Cowley College comes to town on Saturday, October 19.

The Cougars had a few opportunities in the first half but in the final forty-five minutes Barton peppered the box consistently with the initial goal coming with 30:31 remaining.

The scoring opportunity was set up by Candice Burnier disallowing a Coffeyville clear, sending a pass back into the box resulting in a ping pong of action. Katie Potter would eventually gain control to send a short back pass to Beatriz Baldi as the sophomore buried it to the upper-90 far post for the eventual game winner.

Baldi's nifty header on the back post gave the Cougars a cushion goal with 18:50 left, putting away Fiona Jolly's pin-point cross for her second assist of the year.

Mio Tanaka improved to 7-4-2 in the sophomore's third shutout victory of the year.
