Dodge City, Kan-Barton scored early and often en route to a 7-0 win over the Lady Conquistadors on Wednesday.

“We played much better in the second half,” Head Coach Tim Romanello said. “We didn’t allow any goals, and we had our chance to make it interesting. But we couldn’t find the back of the net.”

Barton scored all seven goals in the first half. 

Hesston, Kan-For the first time in 2013, the Garden City women’s soccer team entered a match coming off a win. 

The euphoria was short lived in a 4-0 road loss on Wednesday. 

“I will tell you that we are getting more shots on goal,” Head Coach Hector Martinez said. “The girls are progressing and learning their positions. It’s all part of the learning process.”

The Busters would have entered the contest 0-5 following a 7-1 loss to Cloud County on Saturday. But the T-Birds forfeited the match after it was learned they suited up an ineligible player. 

The loss to Hesston dropped the Busters to 1-5 overall and 1-5 in conference.
