Garden City, KS-Garden City's late-match heroics that carried them to a dramatic one-goal victory on Monday, dissipated 48 hours later.
Ricardo Sepulveda scored twice in the final 18 minutes as Barton toppled the brown and gold 2-1 Wednesday night at Broncbuster Stadium.
This was a defensive struggle for most of the match with the game remaining scoreless for the first 71 minutes. But in the 72nd, Sepulveda blasted a shot from 45 yards out that chipped in off keeper, Levi Flores to put the Cougars up 1-0. Less than 10 minutes later, Sepulveda struck again, this time off a feed from Hidetaka Nakao.
The Broncbusters though nearly pulled off another miracle. In the 84th minute, Cian Carty got loose for the home team's first goal. But Garden City's offense short circuited in the final six minutes as the Broncbusters fell to 6-3-1 overall and 1-3-1 in conference play.
