12th ranked Barton women's soccer shuts out Seward County, Norshie's haul moves into second place all-time #GoBarton

The 12th ranked Barton Community College women's soccer team picked up its second straight shutout on Saturday with a 5-0 win at Seward County Community College.

The victory wraps up Barton's first half swing through the conference slate, staying tied atop the standings at 5-1-2 in league and overall while the first year Saints program drops to 1-6-1 in league and on the season.

Barton's next contest comes Wednesday with a 3:00 p.m. kick hosting Dodge City Community College, a rematch of the Cougars' 3-1 victory back on August 23 in Dodge City.

Nina Norshie led the Cougars with four goals, three coming in second half action to continue her climb up the program's record book list.

Seven minutes into the contest Norshie outraced the Saints' defense from Beatriz Baldi's through ball to tie for third all-time before putting a trio of second half tallies on the Redskin Field scoreboard in a matter of twenty minutes.

Scoring her second and third goals from Ivanna Faria's first two assists of the sophomore's season, Norshie moved into sole possession of the second slot for all-time program goals with thirteen minutes remaining in burying a penalty kick wrapping up the Cougars' five goal victory.

Also making a move on the program chart, Aya Saiki netted her 19th career goal moving into a tie for 13th all-time, rattling the net on a volley from Lesslie Galindo's corner kick giving the Liberal sophomore her first collegiate assist.
