Lomas earns top conference goalkeeper for second straight week

Lomas earns top conference goalkeeper for second straight week

For the second week in a row, Barton Community College women's soccer goalkeeper Stephanie Lomas was named the KJCCC Verizon Wireless Goalkeeper of the Week.  Lomas, a sophomore from Great Bend, made the most of her one appearance this week, anchoring No. 16 ranked Barton's 1-0 victory at nationally receiving votes Hutchinson Community College.  The reigning KJCCC and NJCAA goalkeeper of the week, Lomas saved seven shots on goal to ensure her fifth shutout of the season as the Lady Cougars defeated Hutchinson for the first time since 2007 and handed the Blue Dragons their first home shutout loss since 2006.

Lomas was given a game off from action this past Sunday as freshman Kacee Walsh anchored the Lady Cougar defense in the 5-1 victory over Neosho County Community College.  The win by Barton set up a pivotal game for the conference top spot at 4:00 p.m. Friday as the Lady Cougars host No. 8 Butler Community College.  Barton enters the game at 8-0 in conference play and 8-2 overall while the Grizzlies, who defeated No. 20 Johnson County Community College 2-1 in overtime late Sunday evening, will bring a 4-0 conference mark and 9-2 record overall.

For the season, Lomas and the Lady Cougar defense headlined by fellow sophomore Olimpia Bonilla, has recorded four shutouts in eight victories and another shutout combined with Walsh.  After a tough season opening weekend against No. 4 Navarro College and No. 6 Tyler Junior College, Lomas has only surrendered a lone goal coming in early first half play against Kansas City Kansas Community College on September 15.
