Barton got their first goal of the game and thus the season with 15:28 to play in the first half as sophomore Ebu Camara found Mariano Gelso to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead. The narrow lead withstood into the second half until Camara gave the Cougars some cushion by scoring off an assist from freshman Christopher Hogg. The Rattlers cut the lead in half with 12:21 to play but Barton stood firm to secure the first win of the season.
