Cougars season ends with 2-0 loss to Hutch in Region VI playoffs
The Barton County Community College women’s soccer team had several highs during the 2005 season, but Monday afternoon was not one of them. The Cougars lost their opening round game of the Region VI Tournament, falling to Hutchinson, 2-0, ending Barton’s season with an 8-7-1 record. The Cougars, who ran off 6 straight wins at one point, were winless in the final four games of the season. Those four games were played without the services of Elaine Fontes, who scored a record 23 goals in the 1st 12 games of the year while Barton built an 8-4 mark. Fontes missed the final four games of the year after injuring her knee in a 6-0 win over Allen County. Fontes had surgery Friday to repair 3 ligaments in her knee. Hutchinson (9-9) moves on to play in the Region VI semifinals Saturday.

Highlights
The Cougars could never muster any offense in the contest as Barton got off just 1 shot on goal the entire game. Hutchinson, meanwhile, put 7 shots on goal and took an early 1-0 lead on a corner kick that resulted in a goal for Megan Reffett off Ashley Salz’s corner kick just 4:46 into the contest.

The game stayed 1-0 in favor of the Blue Dragons until Hutchinson found the net again with just less than 12 minutes to play for a 2-0 lead that all but secured the win for Hutch. Barton was able to work the ball into the Blue Dragons end of the field in the final 10 minutes but were never able to make the Hutch goalie do much work.

Hutch 2, Barton 0
