The Barton Community College women's tennis team made a Tuesday trip to North Newton returning with a 9-0 victory at Bethel College.
The Cougars began the dual at the Ward Tennis Center by sweeping doubles action led by the 6-0 blanking from the No. 3 tandem of Ana Vasilis and Ana Alice Tosetto. The No. 1 squad of Luciana Braga and Carmen Lyons won 6-2 while the No. 3 group of Andjela Mrvaljevic and Andrea Pulido was on the top side of a competitive 6-4 score.
