WILSON, N.C. - The Barton men's soccer team (8-6-3) shut out Ferrum (6-7-3), 2-0, Wednesday night at the Bulldogs Athletic Complex in the 2026 Conference Carolinas Championship First Round.

Barton held a 14-12 edge in shots taken while junior goalkeeper Devin Agostinelli (Apex, N.C.) made seven saves to register his fifth shutout of the season.

Ferrum's goalkeeper, Michael Arzillo (Virginia Beach, Va.), made a pair of saves but suffered the loss.
