Meadowdale scored in stoppage time to down the Oak Harbor High School soccer team 2-1 Thursday, Oct. 8, at Wildcat Memorial Stadium.

The Wildcats’ Caylie Etherington scored two minutes into the match, but the Oak Harbor offense could not generate another goal.

Midway through the first half, the Mavericks tied the score on an Oak Harbor defensive mistake, according to Wildcat coach Mike Lonborg.

The game stayed 1-1 until the final 30 seconds when Meadowdale (2-5, 3-7) punched in a goal off a corner kick.

Oak Harbor (0-6, 3-6-1) hosts Mountlake Terrace (2-5, 4-6) at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13.
