The varsity game was a lot different.  The Wildcats controlled the game from start.  While the ball spent most of the first half in Seagull territory, and despite multiple shots on the Everett goal, the Wildcats just couldn't get the ball in the net.

In the 2nd half, Everett was able to get past the Oak Harbor defense and get a goal.  With the pressure on, the 'Cats responded, scoring with under 5 minutes left to make it 1-1.  The defense held and regulation time ended with the same 1-1 score.

In the first 5-minute overtime period, Oak Harbor rushed the Everett goal and got the ball in for the sudden victory score.  Final 2-1 Oak Harbor.

As sweet as the win was, it was marred by two red cards against Wildcat players and one against Everett.

The win allows the Wildcats to maintain 1st place in the WESCO 3A North with a 3-0-1 record.  The tie was a 0-0 non league contest against Bellingham.
