| Barton earns tie with No. 15 Northern Oklahoma
The Barton County Community College women’s soccer team put
another first on its season of firsts. This time the Cougars earned
their tie with a ranked opponent, battling Northern Oklahoma to
a 2-all draw in Tonkawa Saturday. The Cougars kept their unbeaten
streak alive with the tie, running it to 4 games. Barton is now
7-3-2 overall. The Cougars only three losses of the season have
come to teams ranked in the Top 15. Those 3 teams, No. 4 Lewis & Clark
(Ill.), No. 6 St. Louis-Meramec, and No. 12 Western Nebraska have
a combined record of 30-1.
Highlights
The Cougars never led in the contest, trailing 1-0 for much of
the game. Northern Oklahoma took a 1-0 lead midway through the
first half and that score held up until the final 15 minutes
of the contest.
With just under 13 minutes to play Barton tied the game at 1-1
when Richelle Galeaz scored for the Cougars. The celebration for
Barton was short-lived, however, as Northern Oklahoma scored what
looked to be the game-winning goal with less than 6 minutes to
play. But the Cougars had one more answer for the Rangers when
Galeaz scored her 10th goal of the season at the 87:40 mark of
the 90-minute contest.
The game was pretty evenly matched throughout with Barton having
a slight advantage in shots and shots on goal.
