Gabriel Arraes increased his KJCCC leading scoring totals this week in helping Barton to a three game conference sweep including the Cougars' big win Saturday at Cloud County to take the early top spot of the standings. Arraes began his week with a needed late 'cushion' goal in the victory over Garden City before scoring and distributing a goal in the dominant win over Pratt. On Saturday Arraes provided the big boost for the Cougars in striking home the game tying goal at the 63rd minute as the Cougars would eventually prevail late for the 2-1 victory. The sophomore from Brazil now has a conference leading eleven goals and twenty-five total points to rank in the top ten nationally.
Felipe Baeza improved to 5-0 on the season with three victories this past week in helping lead Barton to the top of the Jayhawk standings. Rejecting three Garden City shots on Monday, Baeza was simply stellar in a four shot on goal effort Wednesday against Pratt with point blank and leaping saves to keep the Cougars' sheet clean for the sixth time of the season. Baeza was equally impressive in Saturday's big game in Concordia with the exception of an unlucky break of having a 19-yard free kick to the back post bounce out of the mitts resulting in the Cloud County rebound goal.
