Barton’s Constante named Week Six conference and national Offensive Player of the Week.
Lucas Constante of the 7th ranked Barton Community College men's soccer team has been tabbed the week six KJCCC and NJCAA Division I Player of the Week.
Constante had a solid offensive week for the Cougars finding the back of the net three times in leading the Cougars to a pair of road victories.
Held scoreless in Wednesday's 2-0 road win at Garden City and tied 1-1 Saturday at Seward County, Constante sparked the Cougar offense producing a six-point performance off the bench helping Barton to a 4-3 victory.
Constante delivered his first collegiate hat trick rattling the twine with three unanswered goals in a span of 19:13 building up a 4-1 Cougar advantage. The sophomore's third marker of the contest would secure Barton's 4-3 victory to notch the forward's second game winner of the year and third of his career.
Victors of three straight, Barton stands at 8-0-2 overall and finish the first swing through the KJCCC with a league best 5-0-1 mark.
The Cougars open the second round through the Jayhawk on this afternoon hosting Dodge City Community College in a 1:00 p.m. kickoff at the Cougar Soccer Field.
The award is Constante's first of the season and second in his two-year career. The sophomore is the fifth different Cougar to claim a weekly conference honor joining Kimito Fritz, Nicolas Galanis, Maxence Voinier and three-time goalkeeper of the week Dennis Bottcher.
