Draw in Liberal concludes regular season slate for Barton women’s soccer.
The Barton Community College women's soccer team closed out the regular season Saturday in Liberal faltering a pair of leads ending in a 2-2 draw at Seward County Community College.
Barton concludes the regular slate fifth in league play at 7-5-4 and 9-5-4 overall while Seward County moves to 1-10-5 in league play and 2-11-6 overall.
Next up is the Region 6/Plains District playoffs with the fifth seeded Cougars traveling to fourth seeded and No. 19 ranked Cowley College (9-5-2) on Sunday, November 3rd, with the winner advancing to the semifinal round on November 7.
Leticia Quadros scored the opening goal of the contest with 15:47 left in first half action placing a 30-yard free kick to the upper far post for her 5th of the season.
A little over two minutes later the Saints provided the equalizer coming off a corner kick. Mio Tanaka (10-6-4) turned away the initial, wind-shaped kick towards goal only to have the Saints' Jairely Ibarra blast in the loose ball from point-blank distance.
Beatriz Baldi again gave the Cougars the lead with just 18:08 remaining in taking Katie Potter's pass, dribbling around a defender before launching a 30-yard strike sneaking it under the crossbar. The net rattler was her 9th of the season coincidentally tying Potter for the team lead.
Seven minutes later the score knotted up again, this time set up from a Barton foul just inside the eighteen resulting in Dayra Dinarte's game tying spot kick with 10:58 left.
