Cougar women's soccer team defeats Northern Oklahoma on Friday

The Western Nebraska Community College women’s soccer team got bak on the winning track with a spirited win over Northern Oklahoma Friday 4-3 to open the Butler County tournament.

The Cougars, losers of their last two contests against Barton County and Laramie County, received a balanced offensive output in getting the win.

Northern Oklahoma, though, scored first in the 10th minute. WNCC wasted little time in tying the match. Bre Perkes returned to her scoring ways by opening the scoring in the 15th minute with a goal. LeeAnna Paxton and Amanda Arrant assisted on the goal.

The Cougar women continued to find the back of the net. This time Perkes found Paxton for the second goal at the 31st. WNCC added another goal at the 43rd minutes on a goal by Alicia Ropkin off an assist by Andrea Ardito to take a 3-2 lead into halftime.

WNCC added an insurance goal in the 50th minutes of the second half. Perkes picked up her second assist on the night as she found Ashley Quintana for the goal.

The Cougars, 4-2-1, will return to action today a 1 p.m. when they take on No. 10-ranked Butler County Community College. Butler earned a 2-1 win over Cisco Junior College in the earlier match. Butler and Northern Oklahoma played earlier in the season and tied 1-1.
