Mariner scored a goal in each half to trip the Oak Harbor High School soccer team 2-0 Friday, March 20, at Wildcat Memorial Stadium.

Bakary Dibba scored the match’s first goal with about 10 minutes left in the first half, then the Marauders’ Abdullah Sabah added another score 15 minutes into the second period.

Oak Harbor assistant coach Jeff Laiblin said the match was the best for the Wildcats so far this young season, “but we continue to struggle in the offensive one-third of the field as we look for our first goal of the season.”

“This young team continues to grow each time it steps on the field,” he added.

Jared Hoyt and Jeremy Vester split time in goal for Oak Harbor.

The Wildcats (0-3) travel to Ferndale (0-2-1) at 4 p.m. Tuesday, March 24.
