The Hutchinson Community College Women’s Soccer team earned two wins last week to improve to 12-2 overall.

The Blue Dragons shut out Dodge City 6-0 and defeated Garden City 3-1 last week.

Although the Blue Dragons set themselves up for a big week ahead, the Blue Dragons fell two spots in the latest NJCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Rankings, dropping from No. 15 to No. 17.

Two teams behind the Blue Dragons in last week’s rankings shot past them on Monday. Northern Oklahoma-Tonkawa went from No. 20 to No. 14. Polk State went from No. 16 to No. 10.

Sophomore Hadlie Lowe led the Blue Dragons in both victories last week, boasting a career-high four goals in the road win at Dodge City. Sophomore Julia Dias De Souza had three points with an assist and a goal against Garden City.

Butler, now ranked fifth in the rankings, handed Barton its second loss of the season, which now ties up the Jayhawk West standings between the Cougars and the Blue Dragons. Barton fell from No. 17 to No. 18 in the rankings.

The Blue Dragons have a key stretch of games this week with the final regular-season home game at 6 p.m. on Wednesday against Cowley for Sophomore Night. The Blue Dragons travel to Barton on Saturday.

Tyler moved past Eastern Florida State for the No. 1 spot in the rankings. This is the first time this season Eastern Florida State hasn’t been ranked No. 1 this season.

The Blue Dragons have appeared in 5 of 9 polls this season, the most appearances since 2016.
