Highlights
The loss in the 3rd game was the first time the Cougars had been beaten in a game this season. Barton is now 20-1 in overall games. The Cougars had very little trouble in the other three games as they easily won the contest.

Claudia Houle, a freshman from Canada, led the Cougars with 20 kills during the win. Paula Caten, the returning Jayhawk West freshman of the Year, led the Cougars with 15 kills during the contest. Livia Salzano had 44 assists during the 4-game match to palce the Cougars. The middle did its part in the win, collecting 23 blocks during the match, led by Fabiana Lima with 6.

The Cougars will finally get to play in front of their home crown Wednesday when Garden City pays a visit to the Barton County Gym for a 6:30 p.m. match.

Coach John Hunter comments
" This is without question, the best Dodge team I have seen in my time at Barton. Winning on the road in this league is difficult, as every coach in every sport will tell you, so we are happy to come away with the victory against a good team."

"We are still making too many errors. In game one we made 12 unforced errors which gave them 12 of their 20 points. Obviously that is too many. I am sure as time goes by and we settle in on a lineup, we will be able to iron those things out."

"The great thing about our team is that we can get a lift from anyone on the floor. So far in every match it has been different people who make critical plays to get us going. We talk to our kids all the time about 'making plays' and I thought Justeen Patton and Raquel Ferriera did an incredible job making plays on defense. Justeen's serving ability also was critical to our success."

"After driving through, and right along with, an incredible thunderstorm last night, we are happy to have a weekend to rest before we begin preparing for Garden City's visit next Wednesday."
