Mariner nudged past the Oak Harbor High School soccer team 1-0 Friday, March 18, at Goddard Stadium.

While the offense struggled, the defense “did a good job stopping a very organized Mariner offense,” coach Brian Thompson said.

The Wildcats (0-2-1) played without injured starters Kegan Snell and Rodrigo Colombo. The pair should be back for Tuesday’s 7:30 p.m. home match with Ferndale (2-0-1), according to Thompson.

“I am looking for our offense to play a better game and our team to be victorious,” Thompson said.
