Barton's Testoni earns conference weekly award #GoBarton

Mylena Testoni of the 12th ranked Barton Community College volleyball team has been named week one KJCCC Division I Offensive Player of the Week.

Taking on the host Trinidad State Trojans in the evening contest, the Cougars clicked on all cylinders as fourteen players combined for a .455 attack with Testoni's .739 attack on 17 kills with no errors on 23 swings pacing the offense. Wrapping up the trip on Saturday against Otero Junior College, Testoni recorded her third straight double-double to open the season putting together a 12 kills .667 attack and 12 dig performance.
