KJCCC Women's Soccer Athletes of the Week, Wk. 8

Rayssa Neres played a part of six of Barton’s nine goals this past week in a pair of road conference victories. In Wednesday’s slim 2-1 win in Dodge City, Neres put both of the Cougars’ goals on the board in the game’s first eighteen minutes, scoring just six minutes into the game before giving the Cougars the two-goal cushion twelve minutes later. It took Neres just 2:15 to net the eventual game winner Saturday in Pratt, adding the Cougars’ third first half goal a minute before halftime, then scored her 36th goal of the year in second half play to record the freshman from Brazil’s seventh three or more goals in a game.

One of the nation’s top five attackers, Neres sits alone in second place on the program’s single season chart in goals scored and points scored with 87.

Freshman Taylor Camp picked up two more wins and two more shutouts last week. Now 10-2-1 with seven shutouts, Camp didn’t make a save against Hesston in a 6-0 win, but made five against Dodge City in a 2-0 victory.
