While the Conquistadors battled Barton they were unable to come out on top falling in three sets 29-31, 17-25, 22-25. The loss moves the Conqs to 12-7 on the season and 5-7 in Conference play. 

Set one was a thriller as both teams made big plays and fended off set point multiple times leading to extra points to decide the set. The Conqs with a 4-0 run early went up 11-10 and led by as many as four in the first set but Barton would fend off Conq set point twice and then the Conqs fended off Barton set point but the Cougars ultimately finished the first set to take it 31-29. Conqs again led early in the second set but midway through the set the lead flipped to Barton and the Conqs fell behind after a Cougars late run and Barton won the second set 25-17. 

Down 7-3 early in the third set the Conqs fought back to take the lead and was up late until Barton tied the set up at 21-21 and it was the Cougars that closed out the set and match on a 4-1 run. 

In the loss, Martyna Kmuk led the Conqs with 14 kills, while both Antia Vallecas Rodriguez and Hillary English each recorded a double-double. Rodriguez finished with 11 kills and 14 digs, while English had 10 kills and 16 digs. Bruna Torres posted 17 digs at her libero position and Nur Yaren Turkmenoglu had 37 assists and eight digs on the night. 

The Conqs are back in action at home on Monday, October 18th against Hutchinson at 6:30 pm and have four more regular-season contests looming after that with road trips to Cloud County, Otero, and Garden City along with hosting Seward County.
