Barton men's soccer knocks off No. 18 ranked Northwest College

The Barton Community College men's soccer team opened their 2012 season today with an impressive 2-0 victory over No. 18 ranked Northwest College at the Cougar Soccer Complex. The Cougars’ Sam McCrillis, who wreaked havoc on the Trapper defense all day, scored just four minutes into the contest to help lead the Barton offense. Ebu Camara helped seal the victory with an unassisted goal midway through the second half. Barton will play its second straight game against a ranked opponent as they will play at 2:00 p.m. against No. 19 ranked Otero Junior College, who was a 7-0 winner against Northwest Kansas Technical College Saturday afternoon. Northwest College will look to rebound against Northwest Kansas Technical College in Sunday’s 10:00 a.m. contest.

"It was a solid performance for our first game of the season," said Head Coach Oliver Twelvetrees.  "We created a lot of chances and conceded only one shot on goal for the game."

The Cougars were solid defensively as the Trappers only manages two shots all game.  Offensively Barton launched fourteen shots with eight coming on goal.

"Diogo Quirino led and organized our back line very well and offensively Sam's seven shots created a danger for their defense all game," said Twelvetrees.  "I'm very optimistic by the talent and teamwork we showed this could be a very successful season."
