Facing its toughest challenge of the season, the Barton Community College wrestling team would come up short Thursday evening at the Dennis Lesh Sports Arena falling 46-0 to 2nd ranked Pratt Community College.

Dropping to 0-3 in league play and 0-9 on the season, the Cougars will continue the road trip next Tuesday making the trip to Chanute, KS to take on host Neosho County and 10th ranked Northwest Kansas Technical College.

Battling ranked opponents in five off the nine dual matches including two ranked atop the country, Barton's lone victory came in the exhibition matches with Jarret Mader opening the evening with a 17-2 technical fall over Alejandro Ramirez.
