Girls Soccer 9-22

The Oak Harbor Girls soccer faced off the defending 3A state champions and current #1 Everett Seagulls at Wildcat Memorial Stadium Tuesday evening.

The JV team played well. About halfway through the first half Everett scored a goal to lead 1-0, but with just over 22 minutes to go, Rachel Buchanan got free and kicked the ball in for Oak Harbor's first goal of the year. Everett was able to score twice more in the first half, but the 2nd half was scoreless, with Everett winning 3-1.

The varsity squad was missing two experienced players, juniors Clarissa Abadesco and Lily Mosolino, due to injuries sustained in earlier games.

Everett expected to totally dominate the Wildcats, but at halftime were only up 1-0. Our girls played some tight defense and Maggie Gorman had numerous saves.

In the second half, Everett scored 4 goals, but according to several team members, two of the goals should have been disallowed, as Everett had a player in an offside position, and an apparent Oak Harbor goal was ruled a non-score.

The official final score was 5-0, but in the mind of Coach Laiblin it was 3-1.
