Barton Community College volleyball player Juliana Melo de Barros has been named the KJCCC Volleyball Verizon Wireless Co-Player of the Week.  De Barros, a sophomore setter from Sao Paulo, Brazil, recorded another remarkable week for the Lady Cougars directing the offense on the way to dishing out 110 assists, a 10 assist/set average.  A first team member of last year’s Jayhawk West All-Conference team and Barton’s reigning Region VI Championship team, de Barros has been integral in leading the No. 18 ranked Lady Cougars to a 15-6 record on the season including an undefeated 8-0 in conference play.  She shares the honor with Seward County Community College sophomore outside hitter Courtney Geesing.   

 

Barton travels to Dodge City on Wednesday to take on the dangerous Lady Conquistadors in conference play.  The Lady Cougars will then travel to Colorado Springs to play in the Air Force Prep Tournament on Friday and Saturday.   Barton’s next home match is October 12 against Hutchinson Community College in another key conference match.
